CONTEST CLOSING AT NOON GMT (30 mins) ENTRIES - 20.200 XBY in Pool Time is RUNNING OUT - If you have an idea, get it SUBMITTED or forever HOLD YOUR PEACE!!I am back from errands and a small survey in SLACK said to allow until NOON GMT. In 30 minutes we will close the contest and the XtraBYtes Community Board will decide on the top 5 names for voting later today!!
So, if anyone sends in a late entry it will be accepted. I will announce the closing when I get back online!
Also, if there are any other contributors, please inform me so we can finalize the total. As it stands now, there is 20.200 and I will add another 30% (6060) which is a total pool of 26.260 so far.We have been conducting a contest over the weekend where you can win some XBY if your entry is chosen for #1 new Slogan by the XtraBYtes Community. This all started with the following suggestion:
One of our valued XtraBYtes Community Corporation members tabled a suggestion last night:Quote:
"
We got to take the word DATABASE off the OP title. I would read that and think ok so it's some kind of collection of people's records or something. It's not sexy... the heading needs a more attractive wording, the last word is database so it looks like the project is basically a database." :EndQuote
And, since the "decentralized shared storage" is not going to be the ONLY thing XtraBYtes offers in the future, I believe it would be very good for us to not categorize ourselves with a mundane word like "database". So, we are looking to come up with something more: appealing, accurately descriptive and of course, sexy...
I decided to "temporarily" change the word to REVOLUTION because from a big picture perspective, we are going to revolutionize the crypto world, in many ways...
But, what are your thoughts??XtraBYtes will offer many different services on our blockchain... anything that is: marketable, attractive, profitable and possible (
blockchain capable) will eventually be made available.
Let's get creative folks!!
The WINNING word will result in winning half the prize pool and the other half will go to the
Community Fund. Therefore, once the competition begins, we will collect all the names until midnight GMT on Sunday and then from this
we will choose (we being the XtraBYtes Discussion Board) the top 5 and you can decide the winning word with a final vote.
SUPER SYSTEM & REVOLUTION are my 2 entries and they are obvious ones after much discussion, so we will pull these from the bidding before we start...
If I win... the entire prize pool goes to the Community Fund. But let's have a bit of FUN and see what else comes to mind.
CONTEST DETAILSThe winning entry will get half of the prize pool and I will match the total with an additional 30% and others can follow suit if they so choose.
The entry is 1000 XBY per word (word combination). So, in other words, don't send in "Super System" and "Revolution" on the same ticket... we will only accept the first word combination or first word. If you have more ideas, send in more entries. This increases your chances to win if you have good ideas and if you lose you are contributing 50% to the community fund regardless and this is destined for future projects or benefits for XtraBYTes.
Instructions:Send 1000 XBY to this address:
BGNEYsQRK34pb6Yma5mFYwh9Sk9T5thjJV (Dedicated wallet for Contests that I am controlling)
Then provide your transaction ID which looks like this:
TXID: 794255e75779db8f12f72f1b4894599c5409a4a88acc061217ef1a4a39c9698b
Also include your SUBMITED NAME: XXXXXXXXX
Included in a PM to me with the subject line: ContestThis is a
Community Brainstorming Session in which we will show you the entries to help stimulate some new thoughts, additional ideas and participation. Also, it is totally legit to take someones word and add to it or change the words - this is what brainstorming is all about...
As you can see below from the first 4 entries, one of the participants dropped the word "Blockchain" and another changed the slogan completely... You can do whatever you want, except change the name or the lettering of
XtraBYtes - this is our brand and brand design to highlight XBY, which is the driving force behind all the profits now and in the future.
