Please only submit one proposal per person/organization per round.
Multiple distinct projects from the same person must be spread over separate rounds?
Winning entries will not be eligible for future rounds
I assume the only plans for ongoing support are for those projects that are included in SDP?
Jem Multiple distinct projects from the same person must be spread over separate rounds?
I'm open to discussion and revising around this point. The intent is to not flood each round with low-quality proposals in an attempt to game the system. What number of submissions would you find fair?

The winning entries piece is to provide incentive for improvement round-after-round from projects that weren't nominated AND to encourage winners to remain creative. If by support you mean lumens, from my understanding of it, SDP is not strictly a lumen distribution program and is more focused on providing people/technical support. I'd like to that imagine the launch of SCF is not the end of new/updated distribution programs from SDF.
Hi Zac,
just a question as I'm thinking about submitting a project.
Does the project needs to be completed already? I have a stellar project ongoing that I think would be a good entry but it's not finished yet.
Regards, Bas
[unknown] okay, thanks for clarifying.
Just a reminder:
The use of sockpuppet accounts (even if they are older than the age threshold) will cause your submission to be disqualified.
I realize it is a bit early to be counting but will there be an easier way to keep tally of likes than to add them up individually over and over? I assume that only the likes for the main post are counted and not likes of the comments below?
StellarZac What is the threshold for the reddit accounts? Or are you referring to the GalacticTalk ones?
Is this SCF program only for small to medium sized projects that can be completed within a short 2-3 month timeframe? What would you suggest for a larger project to do when it is looking for funding to create solutions using Stellar?
We are working on a larger project that will not be possible to complete within the 7 weeks left for this SCF round. However, there are some low level basic functional components of our project that could be made available for others to begin using and testing with. There are plans to have something fully functional early next year.
To give some more information about our project it involves some of the topics of interest stated in the "Stellar Academic Research Program" More specifically these topics:
Research began on this project in early 2018, before the "Stellar Academic Research Program" was announced. More recently the implementation has begun. FWIW no one on our team has ever patented anything and there are no plans to do so in the future.
I have entered some of our work in previous Stellar Build Challenges. Here is a link to the SBC2017April entry, SBC2017November entry and the lumag.solutions website that was built to promote the project. Due to a seemingly lack of interest in the project, in early 2018 we decided to pivot to begin exploring and researching the derivatives project we are now working on.
We would like some clarification. At the top of your April 2019 (24 days ago) post it states "The first SCF round will begin today and end on June 30." One of our social media fans stated that the contest was over for new projects as of March 2019? We submitted our project a couple of days ago and are sharing it on social media channels and would like some clarification please. Thanks.

This is already funny to observe and will be even more funny once you figure out that all the vote and comment buying was for nothing.
If this is funny to observe then you have a twisted sense of humor. Our team has worked tirelessly to deliver a working product for social good. We posted the link to this on all our social media channels and all connections (something you failed to mention). Get your facts straight before you publicly slander us. Boosting posts or Incentivizing people to share your project is called marketing and is how Facebook, Google, and others have become so successful.

For those not in the Keybase group, I've put together a quick visualisation of the nomination round using data from @bkolobara's extension: https://datastudio.google.com/s/jbbGu8XC-rY
nebolsin Maybe @bkolobara could extend the pagination threshold for the SCF board? Your script only loads the first page of entries right now.

Thanks for pointing that, I completely forgot about pagination. It should be fixed now.
I just submitted my proposal today. Do I have a disadvantage in the nomination process over projects that were posted earlier and have had more time to accumulate likes? Is it permissible for me to privately message members to view my proposal and consider liking it or is that considered "brigading?" Am I allowed to campaign for votes? Or should I just sit back and relax now that my proposal has been submitted?
You can share your announcement. Try to do so in the spirit of the competition (don't blindly spam messages or threads).
I'd like to take a moment to say that if you haven't yet shared your announcement to /r/Stellar - I would recommend doing so. This will give the reddit community an opportunity to see what everyone is working on. Remember, projects are allowed one post per week on the subreddit.
