[Discussion] Bitcoin Pizza Day on Bitcointalk 🍕

[nutildah]

Dang, I shoulda made a pizza. Anyway, for this year I'd like to do my own awards.


These are the top 3 pizzas unlikely to make me sick (in order of listing):

Pizza #44 - Now this looks like a real pizza. Its just a little bit burnt (the way I like it) and has a nice, even assortment of the standard toppings my stomach is used to.

Pizza #112 - Has pretty much the same gut-friendly qualities of #44. I like how the ingredients are cooked all the way through. Even if I don't recognize all the toppings, its OK, I'll take a chance because they're not raw.

Pizza #132 - This is a simple olives on cheese pizza. There's not much that can go wrong here. The burned cheese hanging over the edge of the crust looks great. Both my tastebuds and digestive system would approve.


These are the top 3 pizzas likely to make me sick (no offense):

Pizza #29 - The dough looks raw and I can't tell whats going on here. Even after you take off the BTC and the chocolate/seaweed continents, you're left with quickmelt cheese with blue sugar sprinkles on it...

Pizza #36 - Nothing about this looks like food... I don't know what country this is from but I know you can't drink the tap water there.

Pizza #123 - Ah yes, a perfectly uncooked pizza loaded with raw meat bits, this is the winner. From what I can tell, there's a 50% chance you'd get food poisoning if you chowed this thing down.

CURRENT VOTING  SITUATION OF BITCOIN PIZZA DAY IN 2026

I am not sure is a good idea to publish this "exit poll" of the contest.
Of course data are public, and can be read by everyone, but by doing so, you might influence (in unforeseen ways) the following voters.
I am not saying it's wrong, but wondering if posting a temporary chart of the contest might slightly alter the path of voting.

I was thinking the same. It could also create confusion with the official voting results.

Since Sawera2255@ is only counting the current votes, I think the order of the rankings matters as well.

We're not simply counting the number of votes. If I'm not mistaken, the ranking of each vote is also taken into account because the final results will be calculated using the Instant-runoff voting method.

I am not sure about the method to count the votes. I guess @icopress should clarify if the order of the voting does matter or not. Misunderstanding on this could surely cause a lot of drama!

CURRENT VOTING  SITUATION OF BITCOIN PIZZA DAY IN 2026

Since we are here, in a few local boards, there are similar posts with updates on voting. On one occasion, there is the complete list of local members with their pizza deanomised.

Since the official voting is now closed... let's wait for the official results. 🤞

Just wondering, did these users forget to update their votes, or did they simply go with #1, #2, #3 in order? 😄

Code:

I vote for: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5

I vote for: #1, #2, #3, #124, #44

Two years ago, this was also brough to attention due to a note in my vote saying "not in particular order"
while the OP had a hidden note saying "IRV", but edited-out afterwards.

Here's icopress' reply that clarified it:

The numbering is not important. Simply select 5 pizzas of your choice (or less).

You can read the thread's previous pages for the full context.

This is what I remembered and this is why I was so surprised when this thing resurfaced again.
I think such an important statement for n how voting is actually counted should be put in big evidence in the op.
This would make voting 1,3,3,4,5 even more strange.
