Title: [Results 2nd Edition] 🥧 Bitcointalk Pie Baking Contest 🥧 Post by: RickDeckard on April 02, 2024, 11:47:09 AM I understand that this table (and voting counting) may cause confusion to most members. If you are interested in understanding the Single Transferable Vote methodology, please check the bottom of this post. Warning: Lengthy post... Take another look at the winners pie here:
This year we have received 87 votes but considering that I had to discard 4 of them (not meeting either merit or activity requirements[1][2][3][4]), it makes a total of 83 votes! The prize pool of this year edition was of 0.0086 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5485091.msg63660416#msg63660416) BTC. I kindly ask the contributors to send the following quantities (I'll transfer the amount associated with apogio): Prize Pool distribution (per winner):
Table interpretation: I'll have to send 0.001 BTC to GazetaBitcoin, Mame89 and Agbe. Since I hold apogio funds, I will also send them 0.00053 BTC each. @GazetaBitcoin, @Mame89 and @Agbe - Congratulations of being recognized as this year best pie makers! Kindly post your address in this thread so that the funds can be sent over to you. Ideally the amount should be sent to the winners within 1 week of this post. Special edition canvas - Bitcointalk Pie Contest Also, as previously announced, one of the winners is also entitled to receive a special canvas made by 1Dq to celebrate this year edition! All the costs are covered (shipping) so you just need to provide an address. Per the rules: (...) Here is the main information:
The order of the list will be the same as the order of being elected winners (GazetaBitcoin, Mame89 and Agbe). The block # will be 837400. I will update this thread once the block is mined and the winner is found. EDIT: We have a winner! According to bitmover giveaway manager, Agbe is the winner! @Agbe: If you accept the prize, could you please send a PM directly to 1Dq with your address information so that he can send you the canvas? If not, please let me know so that we can run the giveaway manager again. Thank you once again to @theymos for helping promoting this contest within our community and @jayce for the great banner! Tools used for determing the winners:
What is OpenTally[5]? Per their about page[5]: Quote OpenTally is an application for counting various preferential voting elections, with an academic focus, and emphasis on configurability. The software is free and open source[6] and the whole counting process happens within the browser and no data is sent to any kind of server.To use the software, I just needed to create a BLT file[7] of the ballot data of this contest (more on that on the next chapter). Making the pie.blt file: After transferring all the valid votes to Excel, I had to create a numbered list of each candidate: Code: Amphenomenon 1 With that list and a combined usage of a mix of functions (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables and CONCATENATE) I created the format that OpenTally uses to compute the results: Code: 22 3 Computing the result: You can do it yourself (providing that you trust that my work with the voting data is correct). If you do, then the full code of the pie.blt file is the following: Code: 22 3 Simply copy the previous code to Notepad++, save as ".blt" filetype and then submit the result to OpenTally[8]. You will get the same result as the one announced here. Do not change anything in the configuration options available. How were the winners chosen? How did my preference votes contributed? As it was previously announced, the method for counting the votes was the Single Transferable Vote (STV). With this method the users are able to vote in more than one entry and whenever their first candidate is elected the remaining votes (above a quota) can be transferable to their next candidate of preference. The quota mentioned before acts as a goal - the user that gathers a number of votes equal or bigger than it, is elected a winner. In this case OpenTally uses the standard formula of the Droop quota[8] (Total Votes/K+1) where K is the amount of winners. This is equal to 20.75. You can see the whole process of the STV at the bottom of OpenTally results: Quote
Understanding the process:
Conclusion: I hope that with this brief explanation of how STV works, I was able to make you understand how your vote was used to select each winner. If not, please let me know and I'll try to explain any doubts that may remain.

You're a man of many talents!! :D (P.S. Remember to get back to me at some point about the BCA voting; the only way you'll rope me into vote-counting duty next year is by confirming that those two alternative counts I left in the relevant thread didn't contain any mistakes.) :P @RickDeckard: Thanks for organizing this event for a second time. You did a really great job, man! ;) Title: Re: [Results 2nd Edition] 🥧 Bitcointalk Pie Baking Contest 🥧 Post by: joker_josue on April 03, 2024, 12:49:27 PM @GazetaBitcoin, @Mame89 and @Agbe - Congratulations of being recognized as this year best pie makers!

They made excellent pies (I don't think I tried them :P ). A tip for @RickDeckard: - You should have included at least one image of the winning pies, and the respective link to the author's post. - The registration topic is closed, without mentioning this results topic.

You're a man of many talents!! :D //Blushing! -- Among all the talents I have, I admit, cooking is the one where I need the most to exercise. I am trying hard to learn this art, which is not easy at all and, in many cases, is most difficult than handling some blockchain analysis :) (P.S.

But I confirm, with this occasion, there was a copy-paste small mistake on my side, which did not influence the big scheme.
