I simply could not accept the idea of immoral shills taking over and winning this contest by simply generating most of the votes.

Yet that's exactly what happened. Do you suffer from split personalities?

Quote from: martijnp on February 08, 2014, 03:21:22 PM

I've explained my intentions how I would like to proceed from here. I prefer not to have another contest.

Dude, you just admitted to cheating in this contest. I doubt anyone here gives a fuck about how an admitted cheater cares to proceed. You really have fallen off the deep end.

With all this morality you profess, do you think the desires of an admitted cheater should be entertained? You will come to realize, through your actions you've lost all credibility. Nice job.

If I was FlipPro I'd split the prize to all participants in the pool.

It takes a special kind of crazy for a person to think that cheating is a good way to complain about cheating. That's like beating someone because you're against violence. And you people thought I was nuts...

I'll have you know that if my intentions were to cheat in this contest, I would have won even if you had fake-voted 20,000 times. I never do anything half-assed. If I really wanted to win in a dishonest way, I would have done just that.

First of all I need to apologize to anyone about the negativity that has been going on about this slimefest!

Never before have I participated in a designing contest and I regret participating in this one.

For a designing contest to succeed a strict set of rules are required. These rules were clearly not defined for this contest. And things started falling apart rather quickly when Quarks value began to rise.

I've spent an insane amount of time to deliver all elements that FlipPro requested. Many times I've tried to persuade FlipPro and others to implement rules to make this contest as fair as possible, unfortunately without success!

To me this has been an extremely insulting experience! Nobody seemed to care about the actual work that was delivered.
It was fraudulent from the beginning and everyone knew. I started noticing the insane amount of new fake memberaccounts that were being created. This and all insulting and immoral posts in the voting thread made me decide to take control myself. I simply could not accept the idea of immoral shills taking over and winning this contest by simply generating most of the votes. I have been living with a split brain ever since!

During the week I encountered four timed voting attacks entering over 30 votes every 15 minutes. Each time I've let them do their thing for a few minutes before initiating a counter-attack with double the amount of votes they were entering. For each of the cheaters this had an obvious psychological effect: as soon as they realized they couldn't win they tried to make a deal between eachother (just read their posts). As soon as they realized it wasn't working they started throwing trash. But finally boxxl has exposed his true self!

Ultimist, barrysoetoro and boxxl in particular: I've all beaten you at your very own game!

--- No need to expose me and say I cheated, I did! And in a way I'm proud I did! ---

I've explained my intentions how I would like to proceed from here. I prefer not to have another contest. It simply will not work as it is now very colored! Instead, I would leave the community out of it and simply create a small team of talented individuals to form a branding team under control of the Quark foundation. Personally I would like to invite mjbmonetarymetals, leigrecc and quarkfx to participate.

These are the right people that can give Quark the quality branding it deserves!

I have no intention sharing my idea about the 120k bounty yet. If desireable I'll provide the details later.

It is up to FlipPro to decide what to do!

And for what it's worth: the video created by quarkfx supporting my logo DID have an impact! But obviously not measurable!

Wow, never seen a more retarded contest. I'm never touching QRK again...

How 1 guy organises a contest doesn't have anything to do with Quark as a Crypto its self.

Of course it does. It's all perception. Just like you claimed Kolin's ranting had no effect on Quark. It clearly did, and so will this.

It's too bad. Quark had a ton of potential.

Honestly, I'll be extremely surprised if Quark is still around a year from now. The community just can't get its act together without self-destructing.

Are you blind? Quarks infrastructure and community has only progressed. You must be very short sighted.

Keep telling yourself that. See where it is in a year.

I'm not telling myself these are facts. People said the same about BTC and LTC. These kind of butthurt comments should be taken with a grain of salt.

I'm not 'butthurt' about anything. I made considerably more money this year trading alt coins than I did at my full time job (and I make an above-average salary), and Quark was a not insignificant part of that. But I got out when it was time to get out. Quark had all the potential in the world back in December but the community dropped the ball by infighting too much and wasting time and resources and now that chance is gone. The momentum simply got wasted. It happens.

It happens in all currencies, it shouldn't stop them from evolving. Also Quark had many butthurt people who missed the boat. Altough i believe it is much stronger than before with a much more solid infrastructure and community. You talk negative because you probably don't own any or just a little.

There is something weird about insisting the winner give away their prize, though, Zzzack. It's almost like saying, we'll let you win, but only if you promise not to take the prize. That just boggles my mind. If the point were to funnel funds to the QF that could have been done without putting us all through this ordeal of a contest.

I really don't think it is ethical to attempt to strong-arm the winner into doing something specific with the prize money.

I'm seeing a lot of last minute desperation coming from some of the entrants as we near the close of the vote, as though they see a victory (and 120,000 QRK) slipping through their fingers.

I won't name names anymore but I think anyone with a brain can see what I'm talking about.

boxxxl stop posting that shit. get out of the thread and contact whoever is running the contest if you have a serious concern.

whoever promises to donate the most to the quark foundation wins. how about that for a contest?

That's interesting but it doesn't prove they voted for martijnp.

They could have been enlisted to vote for any of the top 5, other than me, because i haven't received many votes for 2 days now, after stopping my campaigning efforts and removing sticky topics on oher forums, plus asking people not to vote for me.

Those stats are not proof of wrongdoing by martijnp.

Anyone could be making those to make him look guilty. I caution everyone not to jump to conclusions.

In fact, those could have been used by any of the entrants who have received multiple 100's of votes in the past 2 days... or there is some alternate explanation.

They could have voted for YOU, boxxl.

Hi all,

If someone wins I don't have a problem with that.
Yes, I asked my friends and add my logo on different places but this is not voting..

This is why:
The day MartijnP gets suddenly many votes: (see date)
qrkdirect 570 accounts - almost every account has a vote
The name QRKdirect says enough..

Al on the same day!

The last 2 days there are about 750 accounts created.
And the last 2 days MartijnP had almost 750 votes??

Same system, same voting:

d3precat[number] 240 accounts 7-2 and 8-2

jjklondi[number] 330 accounts 7-2 and 8-2

ALL TODAY AND YESTERDAY
cinnam0n[number] 180 accounts 7-2 and 8-2

This week was very exciting

But i can't see MartijnP has more votes in 2 days then we all together the last weeks.
MartijnP started with about 50 votes 3 days ago?? Or you have a very very good logo or it's just fake..

My suggestion:
Vote like Nextcoin, everybody needs to reply a name of the 3 or 4 finals.
Like this: https://nextcoin.org/index.php/topic,1927.0.html
No newbies or no used accounts can vote. So it's more open..
If MartijnP wins again he can have it all..

1st place: 60.000
2nd place: 40.000
3rd place: 20.000

If MartijnP has a the best logo.. He will win again.. He has more votes then we all together.. I think the community wants a fear Vote..
What do you say barrysoetoro and Ultimist and MartijnP

I agree with boxxl.
