Well, a week has come and gone and it seems that I severely misjudged a couple of things. A week go I presented the community with the Doge Challenge. This was an initiative to try to guide some of these Doge holders with newfound riches over to the Hive side.
I feel that the challenge was pretty simple. You write a post walking these individuals how to move some or all of their Doge gains over into Hive.
With so many avenues, exchanges, and swaps available, the sky was the limit and I was hoping to get a ton of varying paths that Doge holders from all over the globe could follow.
As I said though, I misjudged...
Maybe the 20 LEO prize wasn't a big enough incentive for the work involved. Maybe my reach and/or influence isn't as sweeping as I think it is after three plus years on this chain. Maybe it just wasn't that great of a challenge, or maybe people just don't care about Doge holders and are sick of hearing about it.
Either way, I got a whopping 0 entries in my challenge.
That's right, a big fat goose egg. Talk about a kick in the groin.
To say I am disappointed is probably an understatement. Perhaps I should have led by example and written my own post. I mean it's only fair that I shouldn't ask you to do something that I myself am not willing to do.
I don't know.
So I have this 20 LEO sitting in my hive engine wallet that I was expecting to give to some lucky winner today. Instead, as promised, I will be sending the LEO over to the Help a Cub initiative started by @silverstackeruk and detailed in this post.
There you go, the funds have been transferred, the challenge has been closed.
Being honest, I'm not sure I will ever try to do one of these again. If you have any thoughts or insight on why it might have failed, please feel free to share them with me. As much as I am hoping it was just a logistical error on my part, a piece of me can't help but thinking people just don't care what I have to say...
