Here are the poems published to Blockchain Poets for the week of Jan 9–Jan 16. Let’s have a look at the poems then we will get down to the contest winner.
This Week’s Poems
There we go. If you have time, check them out and see what you think. And if you like any, let the author know about it by leaving a great comment!
Comments
Comments were pretty good this week, but it was quite uneven. We had a few people who had a huge number of comments, and many others who didn’t have any. Remember, the stated rules of this community are that you must comment two times for every poem you post. Not only will you not be eligible for the weekly giveaway of CCC and SBI if you don’t follow these rules, but you won’t be eligible for the future give aways we have planned. In the future we will be offering more tokens, but only to people who follow the rules and comment at least twice for even poem they post.
That said, I want to award three people who when above and beyond, offering a lot of comments, nearly one on every poem posted this week. I can’t award like this every week, as I don’t get enough money from Hive to pay for this, but while I can I will. @joseitosanchezs, @martinlazizi, @repayme4568, one SBI each to you guys!
Winner of Hive SBI and CCC
Remember, only people who gave two comments for every poem they posted are eligible for this contest. The only exception is that new poets are giving a pass their first week here.
Excluding myself, that puts 12 people in the running for HIVE SBI and 6 people in the running for CCC tokens.
I threw you guys into a random picker…
and the winner is…
For Hive SBI:
@emmaba1 - 3 SBI
@mbkumasi03 - 2 SBI
@martinlazizi - 2 SBI
@repayme4568 - 2 SBI
@gone-hive - 1 SBI
For CCC tokens:
@pregosauce - 500 CCC
@penyaircyber - 500 CCC
@joseitosanchezs - 500 CCC
@hilbyguy - 500 CCC
@emmaba1 - 500 CCC
Congratulations!
(if you aren’t sure what SBI is, it’s kind of lifetime payment system. You can read about it here)
And thank you all for your wonderful poems!
Next Week ~ Next Prize
Next week will be the same reward — shares of Hive SBI and CCC. For CCC, you must use the #creativecoin tag. For both SBI and CCC, you must comment.
The exact amount of Hive SBI depends on how many poets submit poems for the week.
0–9 poets - 1 SBI
10–19 poets - 5 SBI (split 2–2–1)
20–49 poets - 10 SBI (split 3–2–2–2–1)
(Note, these numbers don’t include @moeknows or myself.)
So if you want a chance for Hive SBI, go write a poem! If you want a chance for a lot of Hive SBI, go recruit others (and write a poem)! Spread the word, upvote and share this post to make it more visible, contact poet buddies on Discord and try to talk them into joining our group.
Just remember the rules:
- Comment on two other poems for every one that you post
- Make it a good comment (not just “great poem!”)
- If you offer criticism, keep it gentle and polite and remember the golden rule of criticism: say at least two positive things for every one thing you criticize.
Anyone caught breaking these rules will not be eligible for the reward.
I’m looking forward to reading everyone’s new poem in this next week.
(Note: If you’d like to donate anything for the contest, such as Hive Engine tokens or Hive, please get in touch with me. Look for me as dbooster#6252 on Discord.)
