New Best of OST Alpha III: community vote, — appeal to the community
Hello. I’m one of the participants in the OST Alpha III developers challenge.
Link to my final video PoC:
Link to vote: https://woobox.com/6ujqua/gallery/Y2ULtmLQZto
I would like to comment on the vote and get feedback from the community.
About the first vote — I was very surprised when at the end of the voting saw huge number of votes (this is a not presidental elections :) ), apparently someone from friends of my friends or colleagues decided to surprise me. However, I was angry with such a gift. And the fact that I was in top 3 did not give me joy.
What did I do in reality? I just sent out, through all possible channels, a request for help to all my relatives, friends and colleagues and asked them send out this request to your friends, relatives and colleagues in the same way on all possible channels. However, I did not give them a direct link to the voting page, but gave a link to articles in the medium, video on Youtube, posts in reddit, pinterest, bitcointalk, google+,livejournal, blog post etc… (… and yes … I’m old-fashioned and I have a lot of friends in ICQ :))
Everywhere in these posts and information messages are indicated about the blockchain platform Ostdotcom , and I think everyone is aware of the existence of such a project. I do not know how many actually voted friends whom I know personally. Not everyone gave feedback, but that does not mean that they did not tell about this shuttle to other people. Of my close relatives and friends, few know about the crypto community, only superficially. And all my colleagues basically do the same as I do — automation of enterprises based on 1C framework. And this relationship client to business and one programmer communicates tightly with the whole staff of one or even several organizations. And here comes the the question is, — is it reasonable that they give their votes for me in this contest? After all, most, if not all, do not vote for implementation of PoC, and for me, and belief in me as a good specialist in my professional sphere. I do not think that other teams did not attract to vote their friends and relatives, because even my daughter took part in the voting :)
I’m saddened by the fact that the opportunity to vote is only available for Facebook users, because in Russia Facebook is not so common — basically all use social nets VK and Odnoklassniki, and I do not know how many now they will vote for me. Quite possibly some will have to create Facebook account (for example, from my relatives only I have an account there). And anyway, now I’m afraid to participate in voting. I do not want any more of this madness, which happened in the first vote… After all, if I again send out all their channels request for help, then who and when will vote to me is unknown, and how it will look in the eyes of the community too unpredictably. And what about those banners and posts that I posted on different resources …
I do not know those people who are there will they consider the community as a means of fraud? Respect to team,that made one vote for all time vote — do not need to spam every day for my environment to vote for me. :)
At the moment, I did not throw a vote for me, because I do not know what kind of reaction it will cause in the eyes of the community.
If the team and the community consider that what I described is unacceptable in this vote, then I wish good luck to other participants voting and become just an observer.
P.S.: In fact, I just wanted to implement some ideas, the realization of which alone I will not have the strength and opportunities. And to raise even a small team need funding. I for example do not make the design,working with graphics, i can not make quality professional presentations, but any serious project requires professionalism.
Thank you to those who finished reading.
