The world is full of happenings, the good, the bad, the beauty and the ugly. But in all cases the experience gotten from these happenings is what shapes up a man.
I have missed alot of money from 2021 through to 2022 but the one that really got to me was how i missed my $500 win in the season two hackathon.
It all began when i joined the forum, as a new member i was keen on getting my basic user badge and getting myself ready to cast my vote when the time was right. I read all the necessary informations on the platform and realized community contributors can also earn something from their contributions.
I checked the number of users on the platform and we were over 5000 members, i knew I didn’t stand a chance so i ignored the hunt for bonus prize and focused on what actually brought me here.
I glanced through almost all the projects, made some suggestions, recommendations and asked questions where appropriate. Little did i know my contribution were being seen and noted.
The time came for us to cast our votes, i did my voting, went into hibernation for sometime and came back to check if the projects i voted for had won any prizes.
The first project i was rooting for was the AfricaStars project from the camp of @TuruGlobal, we didnt win the ultimate prize in Devpost but we won first place in the community prize.
I was somehow disappointed, i went straight into hibernation without visiting the forum again for almost two months.
I logged in again during season three only to find out my notifications and messages were super heated with messages and notifications from @admin.hackathon, @TronLive and @support.hackathon.
The message read, you were selected as one of the winners for the community contributor prize and we have been trying to reach you but to no avail, kindly reach us after getting this message as soon as possible.
My blood became hot and i was filled with joy, i hurriedly contacted them only for them to break the news to me that, the timeline for collection has elapse and there is nothing that can be done about it.
I accepted it in good faith because lo que sera sera.
From that day i learnt two things;
-
When doing things, do it with all your heart and mind and forget about a reward you will receive at the end, because if it is indeed meant for you, it will surely come to you.
-
Always be regular and punctual with all activities you have endeavored to involve yourself in, you might never know what you missed in your moment of absence.
My final thoughts;
I can sense most community members this season are in for the cash prize hence making contributions in some way quite inorganic, questions asked are not realistic and people are not really putting in enough human touch and personal reasoning to asking of these questions.
Some questions and some answers too are in some way fishy and sound like AI.
I dont want to mention names, but i asked a question and the answer i got, I couldn’t make a head or tail from it. I hope the @admin.hackathon puts a mechanism in place to check these bad actors
Lets help build a strong formidable community devoid of foul play through this and only this tron blockchain can achieve the success we are all looking for
PEACE BE UNTO US ALL
