Congratulations 🎉 your contest is off to a great start 👍 Therefore, I believe I'm not taking any risks in assuming that you will proceed with it in production mode. Consequently, I'm sending you 10 x 100 BLURT each for 10 contests. It's more convenient this way, as I won't have to remember to make the transfer every weeks but only every 10 weeks.
I would gladly participate in future editions (perhaps not in all of them, depending on my schedule), however, as a sponsor, I won't be eligible for the prizes awarded to the winners, in order to maintain the integrity of your contest ;)
You can still participate in the contest if you want. Having received funds or not having received them is not a criterion I consider for awarding prizes. Whoever wins will win, without any favoritism. I have seen the amount sent and I really thank you for your contribution. We hope that this turnout will be maintained for future editions as well. 😁
My main concern isn't with you and I have no doubts about your impartiality, I'm more worried that some bitter people are coming to annoy you by posting inappropriate comments to ruin the contest, which would upset me. But don't worry, that won't stop me from taking part in the chain (I'll just put my BLURT prize back into play for the winner of the next edition if I'm ever lucky enough to win one of the contests).
I'm sure the contest will be a great success, your concept of linking photography and blockchain is original and extremely fun to play.
I understand well what you mean. The problem is that anyone can accuse me and the contest of impartiality at any time, using any pretext. I can't start my contest by banning or excluding users on the grounds that others might accuse me of favoritism. The contest is based on my personal opinion, therefore these kinds of accusations can arise at any time and regardless of what I do. If there are users who want to accuse without knowing the facts, these are the kind of users I hope to stay away from my contest.
Anyway, thank you for your appreciation. I hope to see the participation keeping itself and growing. Have a big nice week :)
