Topic: Re: 10th anniversary art contest - page 2. (Read 6422 times)

I've added a tab to the Excel (called "Potentially ranked-up (thanks to Art thread)") to try to determine potential members ranked-up thanks to the Art Contest (to some extent, or significantly). I contrasted a snapshot of data from before the Art contest began, to that of yesterday, and marked in green those that I think may have been ranked-up thanks to the Art merits.

Unfortunately, my complete comparison data is for those that have been merited, so I do lack some data for those that had not been merited at the beginning of the contest (those show up on the tab with the nulls).

It’s pretty cumbersome to manually derive each case, so I’ve only done it for those that received above 20 merits in the Art contest. Since I had to manually whip through them, there may be a few mistakes, but, roughly, of the top 80 merited profiles, 48 seem to have received a significant amount of contribution to their new shinny rank through Art (others are still pending activity). Not bad.

GTG now.

Hahahah i need one more merited post and it will be three people 

Btw i see i'm in top 20 merited post. But about badge, there only theymos can choose who will receive badge. Not about how much merit received in art.

For purely objective and impersonal reasons, I feel it makes more sense to rank meriters by how many merits they awarded, rather than how many users they merited.

So, the people's choice award goes to me? Hahaha 
Btw, thank you guys for all of the support I receive. 
I'm happy to be part of this community   

Surprising how many users actually posted multiple submissions according to DdmrDdmr's post there. I just assumed most of those trying to bruteforce the art submissions were from those with low quality, and weren't getting any merit. Seems like it really did pay off for some users on a merit point of view submitting more than 10 in some instances.

I published some stats on the thread, base don yesterdays merit.txt file (the results are therefore not real time, and lack merits awarded later than 2019-11-22 02:48:34 UTC).Up until that moment, we had:

16594 merits awarded to the art thread.
906 merited posts.
465 meriters.
585 merited.

The complete relation can be seen here:

As a curiosity:
- Two people have been merited on 11 posts each (@sirazimuth: 242 merits and sujonali1819: 165 merits).

- The thread merited by most people is @theymos’s OP (344 merits and 95 contributors), followed by Yatsan's (229 merits and 59 contributors).

- The largest meriter is (obviously) @theymos, who has merited 542 profiles in 698 posts (7794 merits), followed by @Halab (198 merited profiles – 239 posts - 356 merits).

Thank you very much for the compliment) You have an interesting job and you got a lot of attention and discussion, this gives you more chances) All the images turned out cool !!! But 1 of your works bothers me, which I wanted you to redo) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53110055                 I received a lot of dignity, but little attention, I can’t understand whether People like my work or not (((I forgot about food and sleep and got burnout syndrome) I look forward to the results, for me the icon is Like Oscar for the artist

Theymos said this:

theymoss said "My current expectation is that as many as 100 people will receive some BTC"

are effort include in this judgement? there are more than 10 people submit more than 5 art... what do you think?

Based from what theymos said, it will be judged per submissions, not per username and not totally based from the received merit (10th anniversary art contest OP).
For the "art badge", theymos will post a community poll after he picked the top most-merited artworks. (Re: 10th anniversary art contest last page)

hello... i know a lot people got 100 merit just only post 1 great art...
but how about us?... i post 7 different art and i get 100 merit...

is that matter?  do we have the same position ? do we have same place? do we  equal?

Just wait a few days and be patient. He says he's going to release results soon.

Lots of people showing their top most arts in the contest. I wonder if theymos can also show his picks in the said contest. I just wanted to see which art really inspired him the most. I'm guessing if all top picks are the one who get 50merits and above cause he gave big merits to these pieces.

So if that's the case this art who gain highest will win the top spot?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53001540

But I was hoping that's not the only basis and even low merited piece can still win.

Hello everyone! I’d like to share my piece of art for the contest here, which I, unfortunately, couldn’t post in the original thread due to technical reasons. I don’t expect it to be considered, it’s just that I worked hard for the result and it would be a pity if no one even sees it.
Since usually people aren’t familiar with this kind of art I’m going to explain what I did here. This is called microbial art. What you can see here are bacteria colonies, which grew into the word «B I T C O I N T A L K». In order to achieve it I used my skills and knowledge in biotechnology and microbiology and performed the following steps: I took E. coli bacteria, spread them on LB medium on a Petri dish in the form of the word «B I T C O I N T A L K» with the help of paper, and then I created optimum conditions for bacterial growth: 37 C, no light and maximum sterility (the last one was rather difficult to achieve). It took 6 days for bacteria to grow to an adequate quantity, so that they will be easily noticeable. Now, bacteria of this particular strain are unusual for the following reasons: they have built-in gene for GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein), which is basically the reason why they glow under UV-light and also they are genetically resistant to an antibiotic ampicillin, which is why when I added ampicillin into growing medium only my bacteria formed colonies there.
I’ve performed the whole experiment at home, but, obviously, I needed some advanced reagents here, so I took them from my laboratory, for which I needed my supervisor’s approval. Long story short, now the whole institute is aware of the contest and of Bitcointalk.

P.S. It took me several tries to make it, so please don’t judge harshly. Hope you like it.

Just want to share that my entry about this is done 

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.53135406

Then I presume it was because of that, but let's hear theymos clear things even it isn't a big matter to attend to though.

My assumption was theymos enabled Trust scores on that thread because of this:

So, what's the spectacle that trust can be seen on the Art Contest thread now, it's still on Meta board and trust shouldn't be displayed, am I right? Other threads haven't shown it but only there (see it for yourselves) or this is some glitch of the recent merit spree happening on that thread. Just sharing because I find it odd and browsed within this topic to see if it's been discussed but can't find any, tagging @theymos.

My favorite 10 artworks of the Bitcointalk 10^th anniversary art contest

The art contest topic has already more than eighty pages, so I wish that forum users who can't have enough time to check them all, at least have the opportunity to see these works.
