Why asking me sir :sweat_smile: I’m not in the organisation and I’m not even a participant :smile: I wouldn’t focus too much on that and more on keeping pushing everywhere I can until the end (building, promoting, answering questions,…). Better to tell people to get all set up early since in the past there are always people who want to vote and create an account on the last day. Then they complain they didn’t have the time to get the TL1 :sweat_smile:

Hi @admin.hackathon, I’m kinda lost: I have sent two emails about my problem to the address given on devpost page and got no response.

Despite this announcement my request is still not approved, and I have no DM with instructions to follow (but have a bunch of completely meaningless badges notifications - KMP, are you presenting a time machine that got me to 2010th somehow?). I’m sterliakov and have submitted Devpost project in time, as well as applied for allowance to post here 3 hours before deadline. I got no response and no reaction. I really wish I could make this post to become eligible for judging and prize (not community prize - I’m not personally interested in writing daily updates or doing other promotional stuff - but forum post is, unfortunately, listed under eligibility requirements). As long as this is not my fault (I applied before the deadline), my inability to fulfil all requirements is at the very least unfair.

I’m waiting for your response almost a week, thus I have contacted Devpost today via official support email to help resolve this issue (because voting opens soon, and I suppose I need a post before it begins).

I really did not not want to discuss such things on this imageboard, but I have no other ideas how to get in touch with you, unfortunately.

Why did you wait the last minute to ask the admins to be allowed to post in the forum? Project development means also organization and planning. The request to post on the forum had to be done weeks ago, IMHO

@Sirluke do you represent the hackathon team somehow? I don’t want to chat here, so please explain clearly whether this is an official request or just your opinion as another participant. As per your question, I waited because there was no instruction to go the opposite way. Quote from eligibility requirements:

A project post on TRON DAO Forum before the deadline.

I do not pretend to win any sort of community prizes which are not distributed upon official judging (this sort of games is not what I like in devs). The eligibility requirements say that I need to create a post - I formally fulfilled everything that depends on me (posted a request for allowance), and this is not my fault that hackathon team has not approved it on time. 3 hours is enough to write some throw-away post to be formally eligible.

Organisation and planning - definitely yes. I managed to free enough time to complete first project milestone, and my plan was to submit the solution in the last day - because I finished development hours before the deadline due to other work-related duties, and this activity can be seen in github actions runs. It changed functionality available, thus I was unable to record a video in advance. Here’s why I delayed all submission steps till the deadline day. And, as I said before, I did not want to post daily updates (and still don’t) and do marketing stuff (my project is developing Tron SDK in Typescript - so it targets developers and does not need such promotion), so there was no need for me to create a post earlier.

First of all: I’m not a member of the hackathon organization, I’m just a forum member and participant. Take my words as advice for the next time, but the admins might not endorse what I’m saying. This is a forum after all, so everyone is free to tell what he thinks about.

Regarding the requirements, reading from post #3 on this thread:

Steps to participate:

  • Sign up on TRON DAO Forum
  • Leave your DevPost username saying you want to enter underneath the Season 3 TRON grand Hackathon Post. Make sure to tag @admin.hackathon for visibility.
  • Wait for approval to be added to the Hackathon group which will give you the permission to create a project post on the correct hackathon participant category

The 3rd point clearly states that the participant needs to wait some time before he’s allowed to post in the project thread. Since the request and the effective submission are not correlated, you could have made the request earlier and posted at the last minute. I think you made a small mistake expecting the approval to be nearly instantaneous. This is a forum, not a grout chat, the timing is different.

@Sirluke thank you! I did not take into account an option “go apply in advance and just do nothing until you have to” - that’s really my fault… To be honest, I expected much better technical implementation from a forum of a huge crypto community, and for approvals - something similar to discord bot synced with participants database, that can automatically approve such requests.

Anyway, what especially surprises me is a complete ignorance by managers. I sent 2 emails, the first one - a week ago. Admins posted here that everybody was approved (5 days ago) and recommended to follow instructions in DM. There were more than 10 people asking for approval within last 4 hours, and none of them seem to have same problem now. I can’t catch what is unique with my case and why am I unable to get any response. Well, they can say “no, you were too late to submit” - but give at least some answer.

(As a side note, what I currently see means I won’t participate in 4th season, because admins are unresponsive, and won’t come back to tron ecosystem again, because the API docs are just awkward)

Thank you again for your answer, I really feel kinda dumb since idea to apply in advance without continuation did not cross my mind. Though I’d really like this problem to be finally resolved positively - hackathon page does not clearly set the time limits, so my submission should become eligible in theory. As a participant, I do not want to make any additional assumptions about the system internals, and the posting requirement is synthetic enough not to be obvious.

If you don’t mind, I’d prefer to stop any discussions regarding this situation until I have a final response from Devpost support (they are currently trying to process my request, and the Devpost employee who works as a manager of this hackathon is already notified). I will write here back once some decision is made.

I agree that a response from the @admin.hackathon is due and I’m sure you’ll get it.
TronDAO is working very hard to make things better, I participated in S1, S2 and now S3 and things definitely improved. There are still many improvements possible and a lot of work to do, but it will be done. Tron is a great place to develop, despite some quirks.
Good luck!
