P.s. congrats @riddim@zettawatt@Traktion@safemedia I love the way you kids keep hacking keep going super ants you are all a big win for the whole community
Very well deserved! Great job @riddim, @zettawatt, @Traktion, and @safemedia, I’m happy for you guys. I think I’m especially happy for you @riddim what a fantastic day for you!
Well done @maidsafe as well, judges and organisers, I think these were really good and well motivated decisions.
Congratulations all who benefited here. I know how much it takes to create good software. Thanks for your efforts which I hope will continue, and become solid, useful free products.
I’m also disappointed by IF though, because what does this do to all the other worthy projects and the other people who put so much into them? It doesn’t support them and is unlikely to help them proceed to become viable apps to help the network.
We need different and better ways to help developers build a better world than this.
Giving so much to a few when a greater number of others have worked hard to build great free apps is not a good way and has lost touch with the values of this project.
Does this bolster the community or divide it? How do we feel about the projects we wanted to succeed but are not on the Autonomi pedestal?
I find it repulsive mirroring of what we are here to change. Everyone creating value should be rewarded. We should not be replicating winner takes all style centralisation.
This was never about creating a “winner takes all” environment, quite the opposite. The intention behind these rewards was to recognize a handful of examples publicly, not to diminish the value of others work. This first round is a starting point, not the finish line. There will be more competitions and prizes in the future for those who did not win to have another chance.
Congratulations to the winners - @riddim , @safemedia , @zettawatt and @traktion ! And also to the entire community involved and to the team for their support, steadfast overcoming of obstacles and titanic work!
Special thanks to @loziniak for his hard work on the Autonomi Community Token project, which is moving towards the most essential link in the network – the Native Token!
I also wish that there were a few more projects which got something.
I also hope that those projects will have a good chance at IF season 2 as @rusty.spork mentioned.
Those in the top 3 did amazing work, congratulations and well deserved. My heart bleeds some for Ryyn @oetyng as I believe it is also a disruptive app which will benefit the network immense.
Thank you very much @oetyng - I think it’s a pity that ryyn didn’t get more spotlights/gratification - your work is truly remarkable and I am glad to see you here helping the network succeed!
And thank you very much for dweb and that I was able to build on that! Without you and dweb friends would have never ended up in the top ranks
Dweb is an absolutely amazing platform to build on and I am sure others will follow this path because it makes so much sense to go the route of versioned Web apps and building on top of your work @happybeing
All IF apps got $250, then the top 12 apps which got through to Phase 2 are awarded $500 and 1000 $AUTONOMI. We cant drop thousands of dollars of prize money to everyone.
The earlier approach I refer to was fundamentally different.
Your responses to my comment disregard what I’m talking about by saying you can’t do things that I’m not advocating.
By all means let David explain why that was a mistake and why this is a better way to realise the vision he had, and which lead us to support the project.
I don’t see why Impossible Future 1 participants wouldn’t be allowed to compete again. The goal is to have lots of apps and developers so why would we hinder that?
you are all a big win for the whole community
what a fantastic day for you!
