Reward: 1 BTC
Suspense Date: Thursday, February 12th 12 Noon PST
Last Week's Contest:Last week's contest to develop a slogan for Backed went very well with user BitcoinMafia the eventual winner of the 0.25 BTC grand prize. As you can see we now have our new slogan:
Powered By You. Backed By Bitcoin.
Congratulations to BitcoinMafia, the reigning Backed Contest Champion!!!
Explanation (This Week's Contest):So for our next contest we've decided to up the stakes a bit. Write a post about either what you would do if we gave you one bitcoin or what we as a community should do with one bitcoin.
Responses will be judged based off of a number of factors, including viability of the idea, post quality, and creativity.
The Post:Submissions should be created as posts to Backed, then linked to by the submitter in the comments. For example, if the title of my post/submission was 'we should tip a celebrity one bitcoin on twitter', then the comment would look like this:
We Should Tip A Celebrity One Bitcoin On TwitterBut don't choose that as your post, it's silly, and celebrities probably don't need our bitcoin.
Post Titles And SubjectTry not to title the post 'What I Would Do With One Bitcoin', otherwise we'll end up with a home page covered in those posts. Instead, pick a unique name for your entry and tag it with [1BTC] so we know that your post is part of the contest. Following from the earlier example, your title might look like this:
[1BTC] We Should Tip A Celebrity One Bitcoin On TwitterThe Reward:One Bitcoin! The best post gets it.
