Topic: Decentralized.Tech Bounties & More - [NEW TWITTER CONTEST] (Read 3710 times)

No problem!! 

---------------------------------------------

My apologies that I have not reviewed and published enough links and technologies for the remaining bounties to be won. To be honest, I have been pretty busy and it is not at the top of my to-do list. The bounties are still valid, and will be paid out as soon as I get to publishing enough technologies and links for people to win the bounties. 

I did however want to share with ya'll that I am doing a giveaway on Twitter:

NEW (11/18/2017) Twitter Giveaway: https://twitter.com/DecentralizTech/status/932000770286866433

This will be the official thread for all giveaways, contests, and bounties for https://www.decentralized.tech, so make sure to add it to your follow list. 

Have a great weekend everyone!

Cheers,

Ch

I just checked the payment of Knowledge Dropper Bounty today, thank you so much!

Hey, no problem for the payment. 😁

I don't really have any time to manage a campaign at the moment. Thanks for suggesting that I would be good at the job though!!

Hello, I just noticed that I have been paid for my Portfolio Wizard Badge.Thank you for this.
I hope you don't mind if I ask you here but do you accept campaign manager services? I've been reading in the forum that someone is in need of a good campaign manager.

I just saw the portfolio wizard shining in my portfolio. Not sure I will be counted or not as I was reading some coins are not counted, but the portfolio wizard trophy in gold looks very nice in the portfolio

Correct btc address, thanks.

It was my fault, so I felt that I should pay you guys regardless of losing the data. If you want to resubmit the links, then that would be much appreciated.  

This is a one time deal. Yes, it relies on task oriented methods. You must perform the tasks to get the badge. I am not rich and don't have much money to spend on bounties right now.

I am saving my money for advertising, because I do not think these bounties really bring lasting users to the site- just people looking to make money. The purpose of them was to fill the site with some data so it didn't look so empty, and to make sure everything is working OK before doing some advertising to try and bring in real lasting users.

With my business plan, which is to make money from advertisements and affiliate links on the site, I cannot afford to spend much money. It will take me a long time to earn what I've already spent (if I ever break even at all). If there are better bounty propositions elsewhere, then by all means go after them. It will not hurt my feelings.

How often will the bounty be distributed? Is the program rely on task oriented mechanism? Some programs have better proposition with regards to giving bounties in crypto space.

Some numerical astrology working here?  Most of the winners have their BTC addy starting with digit 1  Or is it most of the addresses start with 1  which no one noticed till date.
Just kidding, its all just a coincidence I know.

Looks like I manged to get the portfolio wizard badge. When would you be pushing out the payment? When 10 people have gotten the badge?

My address is 1HMMcRSD8xN5rGW2TS91JbXSZco1qrJj1Y if you needed it.

Thank you for considering my name in the Knowledge Dropper Bounty Campaign list.
Sorry for the data crash and apologise that you were not really happy with the quality of the submissions. This was perhaps for our running in haste for the bounty and also not clearly understanding your expectations. Really sorry for that.
Before reading this thread here, I heard about the data crash in the website chat and resubmitted the links again, this time took time and effort that they were in the right category.

Thank you

So, what happened?

While troubleshooting why the edit Link submissions user panel was not working, I found that some Link IDs were in camel case and others in slug (lowercase letters with dashes) format. I then wrote a quick function to update all of the links and convert their IDs to slug format to fix the issues. It was a fairly simple and straightforward function, so I did not test it in my development environment and pushed the update to the server.

First rookie mistake.

Well, turns out I forgot to write:
{ $set: { id: camelCaseToDashes(object.id) } }
and instead wrote:
{ id: camelCaseToDashes(object.id) }

Anyone that knows about how Mongo DB works probably realizes the outcome in the error. Instead of editing a single document (database entry) field, I replaced the whole document with the single ID field.

Second rookie mistake.

I have not yet backed up the website's database.

Third rookie mistake.

In summary, all Link database entries have been lost. Users still received credit for rating and submitting them though, as those document fields are on each User's personal document.

I have decided to end the Knowledge Dropper Bounty Campaign prematurely due to this reason, and also because I was not really happy with the quality of the submissions I was receiving. To be honest, I would rather enter the data myself to make sure everything is how I would like it.

Anyone that submitted 100+ links will be paid the full $50 bounty. Anyone that submitted less than 100 links will be paid $0.50 per link submitted. Those numbers are as follows:

Username - Total Link Submissions -   Bounty Earned
Mrvuuu - 120 - $50.00
ikhub - 114 - $50.00
Luigi21 - 100 - $50.00
Newinbtc - 12 - $6.00
Darder - 11 - $5.50
gl4dos - 10 - $5.00
jekjekman - 9 - $4.50
lolgato - 2 - $1.00
egajuarsa - 1 - $0.50
gueorguiev - 1 - $0.50
hohuan101 - 1 - $0.50
meromora - 1 - $0.50
sayyedraza - 1 - $0.50
silvercell - 1 - $0.50

I have learned a few lessons I guess, so all is not lost:

I am setting up recurring backups immediately so nothing like this will happen again.

Always test code before pushing it to a live server (even though I always do, but the one time I don't...)



Thanks for everyone's participation in the bounty campaign, and there are still some more bounties to be earned!

Effective immediately, all Knowledge Dropper bounties have been claimed/cancelled.

Users that submitted Links will still be compensated.

I will post more details soon. For now, I am busy fixing the outcome of my idiocy.
