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 over the follow 24 hours 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.
How do you enter?
Borzalom will be creating another special address, similar to our FEES address. Except the Prize address will be accessible for distribution immediately after the final vote.
Each word entered will cost 1000 XBY and this becomes part of the prize pool. When the contest closes, I will personally add an additional 30% and if anyone else would like to participate in this by adding a few more % you are more than welcome!
Further instructions will be included when we officially start the contest after a short period of time...
So, put your thinking caps on!!
WEEKEND NAME CONTEST DETAILS
OK, so this is really simple...
We are going to make a slight change to one of our marketing phrases that is found on the OP and here on the forum:
XtraBYtes - The Proof of Signature Blockchain Database
The word DATABASE is being dropped and we are asking you to have some fun and post your entries for a new: appealing, accurately descriptive and of course, sexy ending to the slogan (although, our Member does not use the word sexy in a sexual way... this is of course a higher level of attractiveness in a business sense).
So remember... the winning entry will get half of the prize pool as it was described above, with me matching with 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: Contest
We have decided to run this contest blind (which can result on more than 1 person sending in the same idea) because it is going to build more excitement as each bid is entered and a larger pool grows (you can watch the pool grow as instructed below). If there are duplicates and the duplicate name wins, the person who sent that name in first will be the winner, based on the email receipt with the TXid (not the TXid itself). We want to get some creativity happening and not disappointment if you see someone else thought of the name before you did, so we go blind for this one...
Remember, its only 1000 XBY per entry... and you have a chance to win!!
Plus, no matter what, 50% will go to the Community FEES address @ BLocksFEE4ProofofSignatureXXYF3VQ3 (Additional contributions are always welcome + this is a locked address that nobody has access to and it will eventually be opened once the XtraBYtes Community Corporation decides how to spend those coins)
You can watch both addresses from here as they grow: http://borzalom.hu/richlist.html
The contest starts now and will end on Sunday night: 23:59:59 GMT
We will then compile the top 5 and a vote will be set up for Monday...
Good Luck!!
