Never noticed the edit before. People aren't submitting anyway, just waiting for short before deadline. I think if submission time was 2 weeks only we would receive as many submissions as we do now.

Thank you to everyone who submitted a proposal and provided project feedback over the past 3 months. There were 38 proposals submitted for this round of the Stellar Community Fund— make sure to check them out.

With the proposal phase complete, things are about to heat up! The nomination round for SCF#2 is now live.

The nomination process is pretty simple, but please make sure to read the following carefully.

Voting:

Voting will be held on https://stellarcommunity.fund

Before voting, please take some time to read through the proposals carefully. Proposal authors have put a lot of work into their projects, so do them a favor and spend some time reading what they’ve put out there! Since nominations last a week, feel free to visit GalacticTalk, ask questions, and participate in proposal discussion before casting your votes.

Prerequisites: You will need a Keybase account to vote.

To vote -

  1. Click the ‘Sign In’ button on the top right of https://stellarcommunity.fund
  2. Enter your Keybase username
  3. You will receive a message from ‘SCFBot’. Click the confirmation link to complete the sign-in process. (You can verify that it’s the real ‘scfbot’ by checking the DNS proof)
  4. Once you’re logged in, you can start to select your nominee picks. You must vote for 3, but can vote for up-to 8 proposals. (Remember to read through proposals!)
  5. Once you’ve chosen your nominees, click the submit button. Once you’ve cast your vote, there’s no going back! Your picks will stick around in memory, so you can mark them and come back later before your final submission.

Important bits:

Only one voting account per person. We’ll be checking to make sure no one is manipulating the vote. Play fair and everything will be great! Bad actors will be removed from participating in the vote and future rounds.

That’s all there is to it! Start digging into those proposals!

Nice to see that the voting system is getting a bit better. Randomizing entries is a good idea.

It would be nice to give some space & images to the page - that text wall is not very inviting. At least, I would do a cleanup of the summaries rather than just copy/pasting the first lines of the post. Seriously.

    Good feedback. Thank you. We actually had images on the to-do list - but there's a few things I need to relay for next round in order to make sure people have fair advantage there (only a few would propagate now for instance, and it wouldn't be fair to assume what images would be). I agree about the summaries as well. Right now it's pulling directly from the post.

    We got the app in a state early to use for this round but we'll definitely polish up the design elements.

      stellarpay I agree, everything is fine, but there is a lack of more personalization and orientation in projects at a glance. But in general, the intrigue was successful and everything is becoming more interesting!

      stellarpay We've been discussing categories. I'm open to hearing how to do them without filtering visibility of other projects or categories.

      This is an effort to deliver on the promise that SCF will distribute Lumens every 3 months: January 1st happens to be 6 months after the first round resolved. This is much appreciated.
