Decentralized.Tech Bounties & More - [NEW TWITTER CONTEST]

[CoinHoarder]

I think you and 3 others. I need to make sure that no one else claimed it first though. I won't be able to do that or pay the bounty until tonight when I get off work though.

I pushed an update to the server this morning that should allow you to edit your submissions. Under the User Control Panel, click "Unverified Submissions".

It worked fine in my development environment, but it is stuck on perpetual load when I visit it on the actual website with my phone. I am not sure if it just my phone or something else. Let me know if you have issues using it. Thanks!

The link to the 'unverified submissions' renders to loading for minutes and then the full page becomes blank from my Laptop.

[jekjekman]

The OP must restricted the Bounties for Jr.Member or higher ranks because as I saw that the claimant of the bounties is almost all Newbies.

I am not against newbies but who knows that they are different persons or the same people with different bitcointalk accounts that only intent is to abuse the bounties.

Now the links appear and I can find the links I posted, but when I edit and hit the 'submit Edit for.......' button, there is no confirmations. Again when I reload the page, it shows the old entry - is it normal or am i missing something? Can you please check my link submissions https://www.decentralized.tech/profiles/ikhub
Also getting "An Unknown Error ocurred while rating this link" when I try to rate a link.

The edit unverified submissions page is still not working properly. Any action that requires security checks and updating the database is done on the server, which should return an error message or success message on completion. So, you can tell it is not functioning properly when you hit the submit edit button and no message pops up. Further evidenced when you reload the page and the data has not changed.

To be honest, I am a bit puzzled why it is not working. It doesn't create any errors on the server or client, and works fine in the development enviroment, so it leaves me looking for a needle in a haystack. I have already spent a few hours trying to debug it. I may end up having to rewrite it from scratch.

I can see some errors on the server regarding the rate link issue on the server. I will look into it. If I had to guess, it is an issue with some of your unverified submissions showing up after you went to the edit unverified submissions page. It makes sense that trying to rate those would return an error, since they are still unverified and do not have all of the properties verified links have. I think I know what's going on with this one at least.. it should be an easy fix.

Congrats to hohaun101!!

He is the first to earn the Portfolio Wizard badge!!!





I realized there was a bug in the Portfolio Wizard logic this morning when I saw hohaun101 at the top of the 7 day leaderboards and he did not have a Portfolio Wizard Badge. I was able to quickly assess what the issue was and push an update to the server:

Decentralized.Tech v45

Fixed a bug where users with private portfolios could potentially receive the Portfolio Wizard badge. Technically, to reach the top of the 7 day portfolio leaderboards your portfolio must be public and remain unchanged for the past 7 days. Therefore, your portfolio must be public to earn the badge for reaching 1st place on the leaderboards.

I am removing the badge from all users that have earned it due to the bug (currently only me and one other private portfolio).

[xianbits]

Hello, I just received the Portfolio Wizard Board. So far, based on the first page, there is only a single person who has claimed the reward so I really think I can still be qualified for the reward.

I apologize, but your portfolio does not meet one of the requirements since your portfolio contains 58.97% Pesobits.

- Only include coins coins in your portfolio that are in the top 150 in market capitalization.

This requirement was put into place because someone's portfolio could consist of one very low market cap and low volume coin, and would only need to buy $1 of it and it would raise the price a high percentage. It was implemented so that the competition can not be gamed and it is fair to everyone. Even though I do not think that you are trying to game the system like that, I think allowing you to bypass this rule would not be fair to other people.

Please edit your portfolio removing Pesobit and add any top 150 cryptocurrencies that you like. There are still 9 bounties left, so it is still possible for you to win this bounty if the some of the same people remain at the top of the leaderboards over the next few days.

That would be very alright for me. I just removed pesobit from the portfolio. I won't be adding any coins 'cause that's all I am holding for now.

With that, do I still have to wait another 7 days more to be able to be counted in the 7-day leaderboard? Does it refreshes my account as if it's my first day now in decentralized.tech?

[CoinHoarder]

Yes, that is correct. The other requirement to make it on a leaderboards is to hold the portfolio for 1 hour for the 1 hour leaderboard, 24 hours for the 24 hour leaderboard, or 7 days for the 7 day leaderboard.

This prevents people creating portfolios that have performed well the past 7 days just to get first on the leaderboards. It would be super easy since you already know how the cryptocurrencies performed the last 7 days.

This way no one can game the leaderboards, because no one knows exactly how the market will perform over the next 1 hour, 24 hours, or 7 days.

It looks like the following users have earned the Portfolio Wizard badge:
egajuarsa
hohuan101
gl4dos
bitcoin022198
Lorilikes
xianbits
Windpower

+ Me too! However, I will not count myself as being eligible for the bounty. 😁

Got you. Thanks. I will make the payments tomorrow. Sorry I have been holding off on it for a bit. I have been busy developing, with holiday happenings, and working at my other jobs.

Decentralized.Tech v66

New Features:

You can once again edit your link submissions in the user panel. I fixed the issue with obsessive/nonresponsive load times.

An "infinite scroll" feature has been implemented in place of the selection box to filter the amount of cryptocurrencies returned on the Market Data page. For now, the pages reload when you reach the end of the cached data (50 cryptocurrencies), but I will probably stop the page from reloading in the near feature to make it more fluid and intuitive. I know how it will work, but I have ran out of time for the night and I don't think it is too inconvenient as-is anyways.

Bug Fixes:

Fixed a bug where the link subcategory forums would not show up.

Fixed the Market Data page loading incorrectly if you viewed the market data page after viewing a portfolio.

Fixed a bug that was not allowing people to rate certain links that had been submitted twice, with one verified and the other unverified.

A friendly reminder regarding the Knowledge Dropper badge:

You must provide quality submissions, otherwise your submission will not be counted. The whole point of the Knowledge Dropper bounty is so that I can focus my time on coding and improving the web site. Me having to heavily edit your submissions because they do not meet the standards I have set for data integrity on the website defeats the purpose of the bounty. I do not mind making a little edit here and there and still giving you credit, but I am seeing a lot of submissions with a lot of issues. Namely:


1. If a Link or Technology applies to multiple cryptocurrencies, then you must select each one it is applicable to in the dropdown box.

1a. For example, Poloniex has been submitted both as being applicable to All Cryptocurrencies (it is not... it is only applicable to the cryptocurrencies on the exchange) and only Bitcoin (it is applicable to multiple cryptocurrencies, more than just Bitcoin). Please add ALL of the applicable cryptocurrencies for each link. If I click on the link and see it accepts Dogecoin and Bitcoin but you only put it as being applicable to Bitcoin, then your submission will not be verified.

2. Many links and technologies are being submitted under the wrong category or subcategory. Please take the time to learn the hierarchy of the categories and subcategories before submitting links. You can do so by going to the main Links/Technologies pages, selecting the main categories, and seeing which subcategories get filtered, or by going to the submission form on the Links & Reviews page and going to the Subcategory selection box. I have added each applicable category in parenthesis after each subcategory: IE. Subcategory (Category)

2a. For example, dice games are being submitted under the casinos subcategory instead of the dice games subcategory. Payment processors under the desktop and mobile wallet categories.


3. Submitting links/technologies that have already been published. Please check if something has been published already before submitting it.

4. Read the descriptions of the Links and Technologies I have already published. I expect the same effort to be put into the descriptions of what you are submitting, and for the quality of English and length to be similar. Copying and pasting a poorly formatted description, and/or a description with poor English and grammar will not suffice.

4a. Descriptions need to try to stay objective and not not inject subjective opinions or personal feelings. Decentralized.tech is meant to be cryptocurrency/link/technology neutral. Although the site is intended to be neutral, user's will form the opinion of each Link/Technology by rating them via 0 to 5 star ratings and by discussion/debate in the forums. I do not want to sway the opinion of these ratings and discussions through the descriptions that show up on each Link/Technologies main entry.

Why I tried to rate some links, it said there was an error....?

Yeah... I just pushed another update to the server that fixes this bug too.

hi sir. is this campaign still available? id like to join this

Hey pinoyden, This is not exactly a campaign, it is a new forum. You are free the join whenever you wish, just follow the instructions at the top of the thread, and read up on the remaining bounties available if you wish to attempt them.

[CoinHoarder]

Effective immediately, all Knowledge Dropper bounties have been claimed/cancelled.

Users that submitted Links will still be compensated.

I will post more details soon. For now, I am busy fixing the outcome of my idiocy.

[CoinHoarder]

So, what happened?

While troubleshooting why the edit Link submissions user panel was not working, I found that some Link IDs were in camel case and others in slug (lowercase letters with dashes) format. I then wrote a quick function to update all of the links and convert their IDs to slug format to fix the issues. It was a fairly simple and straightforward function, so I did not test it in my development environment and pushed the update to the server.

First rookie mistake.

Well, turns out I forgot to write:
{ $set: { id: camelCaseToDashes(object.id) } }
and instead wrote:
{ id: camelCaseToDashes(object.id) }

Anyone that knows about how Mongo DB works probably realizes the outcome in the error. Instead of editing a single document (database entry) field, I replaced the whole document with the single ID field.

Second rookie mistake.

I have not yet backed up the website's database.

Third rookie mistake.

In summary, all Link database entries have been lost. Users still received credit for rating and submitting them though, as those document fields are on each User's personal document.

I have decided to end the Knowledge Dropper Bounty Campaign prematurely due to this reason, and also because I was not really happy with the quality of the submissions I was receiving. To be honest, I would rather enter the data myself to make sure everything is how I would like it.

Anyone that submitted 100+ links will be paid the full $50 bounty. Anyone that submitted less than 100 links will be paid $0.50 per link submitted. Those numbers are as follows:

Username - Total Link Submissions -   Bounty Earned
Mrvuuu - 120 - $50.00
ikhub - 114 - $50.00
Luigi21 - 100 - $50.00
Newinbtc - 12 - $6.00
Darder - 11 - $5.50
gl4dos - 10 - $5.00
jekjekman - 9 - $4.50
lolgato - 2 - $1.00
egajuarsa - 1 - $0.50
gueorguiev - 1 - $0.50
hohuan101 - 1 - $0.50
meromora - 1 - $0.50
sayyedraza - 1 - $0.50
silvercell - 1 - $0.50

I have learned a few lessons I guess, so all is not lost:

I am setting up recurring backups immediately so nothing like this will happen again.

Always test code before pushing it to a live server (even though I always do, but the one time I don't...)



Thanks for everyone's participation in the bounty campaign, and there are still some more bounties to be earned!

[MrVuuu]

Thank you
