Previous winners who are in the top 3 in this hackathon have kickass products.
Saying that they are winning because they are popular is insulting. It would mean that Africa stars and JM Pay aren’t that great.
One is helping growing content creators economy in Africa and tend to share knowledges about that continent with everybody. The other one helps crypto mass adoption and allows its use in e-commerces and physical shops.
I’ve voted for both AfricaStars and JustMoney and I didn’t do it cause they are popular but because those products imo are helping Crypto in general and Tron in particular to grow.
My view was with ref to law of average! I.e a good product also needs exposure ( when new ) ., winning in the newbie category can help the NEW Legit projects !
I like this proposal better than having a 5th track where it would be difficult to define the eligibility criteria, as others before me already pointed out.
I think the 4 tracks are ok, plus there should be a special prize for best new projects, that is voted only by users that have shown long time participation and contribution to the forum (Level 2/3). The same users would pick the projects that are eligible for that prize.
The last message was for the ones that think that previous winners are on the top of the rankings only because they have won the last season I know it’s not your case and that you support both these projects (and of course Deba e-book ).
