[Discussion] Bitcoin Pizza Day on Bitcointalk 🍕

[Alone055]

My wife will certainly also think it's an excellent idea to win $200... She doesn't have to know that the maximum prize is $1000.  

Maybe let her know so she can put in more effort and try to win it more enthusiastically. 

[xLays]

I can't boil an egg but when my wife heard she could get 1000$ by baking a pizza, her eyes tripled in size.

Not sure she'll get anything as the competition is fierce, but at least I'll be getting a pizza

Well, I hadn't thought about that perspective.

Well, I'll see if I can buy the ingredients and ask for her help. Maybe I'll participate this time.

I think it would be better if our wives knew how much could actually be won so they would be motivated & more creative to make pizza. Besides the potential winnings, also explain that there is also the possibility of losing. Because our wives only know about winning. (Maybe only my wife) lol. I just leave it here: A happy wife, a happy life.

Happy Bitcoin pizza 🍕 day

[Z-tight]

i said theymos like example, because theymos is admin and he do this stuff, partecipate and donate
only for this reason
because if I name someone else then they might be offended and a drama worthy of this note would arise
no thanks I don't want drama

I totally get it, and i also know you mentioned Theymos in your initial post as an example. However, my point is still the same thing, whoever wins, wins, and there is no need for anonymous voting. If they have enough 'friends' in the forum or people who will vote for them because they made a nice pizza and for other reasons, then that is fine, as long as they are not promising money or merits in return for votes.

So let me clarify as to who is going to judge the contest. As I see three individuals are sponsoring the contest, does that mean that icopress on behalf of BC.GAME, Theymos and BitcoinGirl are the judge for this contest. I have checked the topic description and found nothing in the rules. That is why I have come to this conclusion. If that is the case then it is great and this time it will be fair for everyone.

Sponsors are contributing the money that will be shared to the winners, and in order to decide the winners, the community is going to vote on that. I don't know why you think it will be fair if only 3 users were to vote on this, because it surely would not be fair. I believe you missed this part of the op:

After the designated date, a voting thread will be created where, through joint efforts, we will determine 5 winners (the voting system will be identical to that used in the BCA).

That means a newbie can also vote but, would not be nice if only legendary rank holders are allowed to vote especially who have good reputation. What I meant is that a community that has a lot of presence will be able to easily win if everyone is allowed to vote. A high rank trusted member voting will only make it fair.

If the community voting is so important than those like us will never win as our community is saturated.

Publishing the pizzas anonymously would require more effort in coming up with the best way to do it, and in my opinion it is going to reduce the fun in the contest.

It would also remove the incentive of joining to earn Merit, but I agree it makes it less fun.

[aliveNFT]

As soon as I saw the contest, I immediately signed up for it. I don't care about the prizes and merits; I just want to spend quality time with my wife. We'll have fun baking and decorating a pizza in the Bitcoin style, and then hopefully we'll enjoy it deliciously (I hope). Participation and the process are what matter most; the prize is secondary. Good luck to everyone, by the way!

Since you cannot be certain of the reason why a member is joining the contest, then i don't think it is a bad idea if the participants earn merits from their submissions. Take note they'll be putting in time, money and effort into it, and i am sure the bad entries would earn no merits or votes, so if the good entries earn merits, then it is great in my opinion and can qualify as a 'good or quality post'. You of all people shouldn't be complaining of this, you have so much smerits that you have been 'struggling' to send out, this could be a good opportunity, no?.

Meanwhile, I have 4000 sMerits waiting for worthy posts.

I've updated my first message with photos of my pizza! Good luck to you all

[Ale88]

psychological subjection, if theymos makes a pizza, many will be tempted to vote for theymos' pizza even if it's not the most beautiful pizza

to have voters who vote objectively, in my opinion, we need to publish the pizzas anonymously so people can really vote for the one they like

This is a very good idea, I second this!

That's a very good idea. Otherwise, the sympathy factor will always play a part in the vote and end up distorting the result. But how would this be possible without a lot of effort? It can't the right way that we send the pictures of our pizza to icopress by PN

Does anyone have any ideas?

I don't see what the problem is: when we take pictures of the pizza we simply take one picture with the paper showing the username and the second picture without the paper, we upload them to talkimg.com and we send them by PM to icopress so he's going to post the anonymous picture on the thread and saves the one with the username for the end of the contest, just to show who made the pizzas that won the contest.

Updated mine as well. Tell me what you think.

You're right, it's not terrible to get Merit after working hard in the kitchen for hours. I Merited some of last year's contributions just 2 days ago.

Updated mine as well. Tell me what you think.

My first thought: who's hand is that?

It really gives me some kind of Soviet Union vibes but I must admit that it's very cool!

Thanks. It's Soviet Union, but in the other corner of the map, if you know what I mean.

I thought we finally had a contest where the men will be at a disadvantage but no you guys managed to bring yur significant other into the game. I think we should change the contest to the wives of bitcointalk

From the OP, I believe the contest is going to be judged by the number of votes each participant receives. The highest number of votes wins, just like the Bitcointalk awards.

[Solokan]

I am very happy with this contest and I also want to take part in this contest and now I have just finished making this bitcoin pizza with minimal ingredients but to be honest I am not an expert in making pizza but I have done it with enthusiasm


Below is the process before baking and before topping with the Bitcoin logo

[Rikafip]

I can't choose between a classic pizza or a calzone, is it possible to make 2 pizzas for the contest ?

Question is, is calzone even considered being a pizza? I remember having this dicussion many years ago while in Italy and usual answer I got was "No", even though it is basically a folded pizza. I wonder what our bitcointalk mafia has to say on the subject?
