2 Billion or more lumens to be awarded to people building out the stellar ecosystem. To encourage creativity and development in the Stellar ecosystem, we’re announcing the Stellar Build Challenge. Stellar.org will grant awards in the following four categories: Anchors, Applications, Exchanges, and First-Time Submissions. We’ll announce the first round of winners on October 1, 2016. Build Challenge awards will be funded by unclaimed lumens from the bitcoin-lumen program. This pilot challenge is simple by design: it’s an experiment to find ways to develop services that are fair, affordable, and community-driven, and at the same time drive uptake of the Stellar network to maximize efficiency and reach. We plan to learn from it and offer similar programs in the future. Read more: https://www.stellar.org/blog/build-challenge/ Look forward to seeing what people build!

New build challenge is up: https://www.stellar.org/lumens/build/

Hey Jed! It looks like we can potentially win XLM for building a forum dedicated to Stellar. I see that there is already one live (e.g. mystellar.org). Is that challenge closed or can we still build new forums and submit that to the challenge? The giveaways on mystellar.org almost seem 'fake' given how are they present the opportunity with odd font colors, sizes, and animations. The forum also feels like it was built in the 1990s (unlike this one). Are those giveaway promotions legit? https://www.mystellar.org/announcement-1.html

Solman7921 You're on another one of those forums right now ?

Solman7921 We will need to wait for the announcement of the next challenge to see if there is still a forum category. If there is, you can definitely try to extend our community. Sometimes the price is split between GalacticTalk, mystellar and others. So you still would have a chance to win something, even you are not the biggest forum. Yeah, mystellar ?. I would say they have their own style. I tried to support them in the beginning with some feedback, but they seem to become more and more hostile towards all other competitors in the forum category. If someone links to GalacticTalk, the link gets always removed from the post. On multiple occasions they asked their community for attacks on me . They allow selling stolen credit cards and other shady activities on their forum . And they were spamming the slack channel with the same message over and over again. Also all new users that join the slack get a dm from them to join mystellar. Sometimes I still point people to them, but I try to avoid it. I think that the giveaways are not fake, but am not sure how worth they are. For 40XLM you need to write 10 posts in a limited time or they expire. The giveaway is set up in such a way on purpose so it's really hard to claim it.

bkolobara Not sure how it happened, but I got elevated into a mod there, so I've been cleaning up a bit. I don't agree with most of the things posted there, so we'll see how long they let me do my thing ? The author of the CC post was banned, but the post was still there. Not anymore.

bkolobara sounds like there is room for another forum dedicated to Stellar then. ? I'll kick one off and try to gain some momentum for the next challenge submission!

Solman7921 We haven't even really gotten any momentum here , and Galactic talk has been open almost a year.

As per my acknowledgement, forum is a place where already experienced peoples help to understand things in better way to new user with their own experience, expertise, logic, mind and much more. And for their contribution such user get returns in form of royalty. My stellar offering free XLM to user to contribution. Even Bitcointalk also offer signature earnings. Galactictalk is good forum with UI and UX really appreciate, But still seems something missing on Galactictalk. Stellar is really great altcoin ever with advanced features and futures, which will bring revolution in finance and economy globally.

crypto I was thinking about adding some gamification to GalacticTalk, but decided in the end to keep it simple. So I guess we found a good balance for now in the community, two forums with different goals.

bkolobara it will be three forums soon

2B+ lumens will be awarded to projects built on Stellar

fracek

I posted my entry in the Dev forum, I also submitted the SBC form (but didn't receive any confirmation email). How do I know I entered the build challenge?

virgiltu

Does the project have to use Lumens or can it use a toke on the stellar network?

bkolobara

virgiltu It can use any token on the Stellar network.
