UPDATE: The price of Lumens increased so much that the original 1 st prize (800k XLM) is worth now over $35.000. Because of this I reduced the prizes to a more reasonable amount. I updated this post with the new information. Howdy! Galactic Talk is organising its first challenge aimed at content creators. We want Galactic Talk to be the best source of tutorials, reviews and information about Stellar and you can help us achieve this goal. From all threads created until the 15th of May we will award: 1 st place: 50 000 XLM 2 nd place: 25 000 XLM 3 rd place: 10 000 XLM 2 000 XLM to all participants in the challenge No matter if you are an experienced Stellar guru or are just starting out, this challenge is for everyone. Here are some ideas what you could write about: Review of stellar wallets Review of exchanges on stellar Review of applications submitted to the Stellar build challenge Your experience about solving a problem using Stellar Tutorials for developers Best practices for node runners Be creative! The winners will be announced until the 20th of May. Join us in creating the best content for developers and new users! Let’s form a helpful and active community around this great technology. Cheers, GalacticTalk Team

Where is the content submitted?

Sounds like a fun project! I'll reserve this spot to post my "Scalability Shootout" video where I will compare Stellar Lumens to NEM (proof of importance), directed acylic graphs, and traditional proof of work/proof of stake coins. The review will focus on security, transaction speed, and ease of use, as well as recommendations for future versions of the web wallet. I feel 2FA and Multisig support in the GUI are a must to ensure even if the private key is compromised there is another layer of protection before a new wallet can be created and funds withdrawn.

cryptoedu Just create a thread about it on this forum. GarrettMinks Can't wait to see the video. You don't need to reserve a spot in this thread, you can create a new one.

Excellent ideas and very generous prizes ? Hopefully we see many good posts as I'm personally tired of speculators and coin beggars who fill most of the content of other forums ?

bkolobara Great I'll create a new thread once I get it finished and uploaded!

What's a "thread", and who gets the reward? Just the original post, and the original poster? What if it's the replies, the discussion, that make the thread great?

dzham A thread is a discussion/topic. I just didn't want users posting in this thread. But the rules are not that strict, we are also going to consider replays. The user that wrote the content will get the reward. If multiple users contribute to the topic the reward can be distributed between them.

Only 10 days left. Still enough time to participate and get 10.000 XLM (~120 USD right now).

You're currently a very generous man ? I have the following remarks and questions: 1) XLM Price is always going to be a roller coaster. If you're thinking to have this challenge periodically, it's better to fix the prizes in USD value. For example: You can have first prize equal to 2000 USD paid in Lumens at the exchange price of distribution date. And same time, you have to put a maximum limit of prize in Lumens as XLM price might suddenly crash to epsilon then you will have to pay millions of Lumens ? By fixing the prizes value, the challenge would always have fair reward for all winners. 2) I hope SDF will support this initiative and similar ones so challenge will continue. Their build challenge rewards is the best way. 3) When Stellar sign up program resumes, we should see more users in forums as many will come to ask questions. And my questions are: Who will decide the winners of this challenge? Is it the admin alone? If 15th May comes and quality threads are not present, are you going to extend the dates of competition? I'm not sure if we have a 800 000 XLM thread at the moment but still 10 days left ?

Why Stellar?

In order of importance, people tend to think that financial access comes after things like education and healthcare, but financial access is actually a pre-condition for everything else. One big problem in the financial infrastructure today is that it’s terribly expensive to move money from one country to another, and Stellar can remove these costs. Stellar can help people receive or spend or save money, which helps them also pay for their education and healthcare.

What’s has been the biggest challenge for Stellar?

Stellar is technical back-end infrastructure for the world, and very few people in the nonprofit, government, or even tech world understand this level of technology – it’s hard to explain to someone how the internet works, and that’s just the starting point for understanding Stellar’s technology.

bkolobara Hi, is other language permitted apart from English, e.g. Spanish?

bkolobara

anibalsalazar For now we will only accept submissions in English, as this is an english only forum.

We are Asian. However, we are very interested in the practical issues and improvements of cryptocurency. From March 2017, I and my friend had a discussion about Stellar's future. My friend had a premonition and was very confident about Stellar, while looking at the look of Stellar. My friend, I see how intense that faith. At that time, he and I were betting that stellar se. However, the results are we are very excited, as we have won in Stellar belief, as well as our investment strategy in Stellar. Receiving daily news about Stellar showed us that what we decided was right. Thanks Stellar.

Great initiative. This triggered me to actually subscribe here! ? Will be adding threads soon, first diving into what knowledge would be truly helpful from a rookie perspective.

btw all participants in the challenge will get 10000 XLM?

bkolobara

Hi repear7,
You just copy-pasted this post from Tobias' website. This will not qualify for the competition. It has to be original content.

The competition started when Lumens were worth much less. For example 10 000 XLM was around $15, but now it's around $400. Like you, many other participants just copy content from all over the web to participate. I'm thinking now of adjusting the prices (all) and breaking them up in multiple competitions. They are still going to provide a lot of value, but we also hope to get much more quality content in the future.

leasmax

bkolobara How participants will be informed about prizes and how can they get the prizes?

Content creation is quite interesting job and would like to contribute for Stellar. Stellar have bring really innovation in economy and revolution in finance. Many financial institutes are started to involve in this awesome solution which stellar bring for cross border payment settlement.

In today world market business are running at C2C level. Now time is changed we all have to accept it and agree it to follow it and believe on it.

I've just posted up some content about the stellar on today, I also posted this information on the group's stellar ... I think next time will have many participants on galactictalk.org

bkolobara

leasmax I will write a post here and send out an email!

kimpotxx

Am i qualified if i post 1 topic? Or do I need to post more to qualified? Im a newbie.

dzham

kimpotxx Depends on what you write. If you're just spamming, or posting other people content, then I would guess it's a "No"

gaitchs

i tried to participate and ,,, today is the last date..

bkolobara

gaitchs No worries, if you didn't have time to write something for this challenge, we are going to have more in the future.

saggi07 No.

kimpotxx All participants will receive prices, but not every post qualifies as a participant.

saggi07

bkolobara If a contributor has more then thread/post then would each of his thread get 10000 XLM individually?

kimpotxx

Will all the participants recieve the prize or you will choose who's the lucky participants to recieve?

dzham

bkolobara reduce the prizes by a factor of 20, and spend the rest on yourself, or to improve the forum in other ways.
