2009 Trap17 Awards - General Topic

You mean you usually pay the winners?

And why is it $320? Can't it be lower?

Well I would take donations and when we did it last time I covered some of cost with my stash of hosting credits and so once the awards were over I would transfer the hosting credits to the winners. As for the $320 that is how much it would have cost to cover $10 first place winner, $5 second place winner, and $1 3rd place winner and so if you look at the way I set this up first and second place winners could pay off their accounts with that money, but of course if your multiple winner then you would have earned a lot more. However, in order to make that money people have would have to post almost daily for 2 months to help cover the costs but since not everyone has a ton of money it wouldn't have been beneficial for anyone to donate money they might not see and what not.

Wow. That really adds up! As for your post, 3 sentences! You must be out of breath!

As a "what if?" scenario, maybe we can discuss a Spam Tax on the Xisto. As you (should) know by now, because you have all read the Xisto Readme file, when you make a posting, you earn MyCents. When the posting is sent to the Spam Bucket, you lose more MyCents than you actually earned with that Spam posting. I wonder if Opaque would consider the "excess" as a fund for awarding to Contest winners, like the Xisto Awards? After a year or so, that would likely cover the cost of the Winners of the Xisto Awards as discussed in this thread.

Ohh, dirty dollars. Sounds like a plan to me! Just go ahead and transfer the funds into this swiss bank account I have here and we'll be on our way.

I made some inquires on this idea and that will not be happening either and so when and if a transfer system is set up we will have to find a way to work with donations once again.
