Hello Steemians! This is yet another post on the Netcoins listing contest. I didn't have the time to follow what was going on today and I to my disbelief, we lost to a project named INS. When I looked at the contest page, it is already showing the following notice:
However, from @gduran's post, I get to learn that we ended with 21815 votes and INS won with 22856 votes.
INS's sudden surge of 10000 votes within a day sure is quite unbelievable. Of course many of us are speculating that they have cheated, but let's not be sore-losers and take a look at the project.
INS is working on a platform named INS Ecosystem. Through the platform, users will be able to purchase consumer products from manufacturers directly. This means that the platform has the potential to challenge online retailers like Amazon or Alibaba, which sounds interesting. The INS token can be used for payment on the platform and they also serve as loyalty points for manufacturers to offer directly to customers.
Time will tell if they have cheated, but for now, let's congratulate them on their win 😄. Honestly, for a platform boasting to have more than 50000 active users, we should have done way better. And we only have ourselves to blame for not being able to win this hands-down.
Anyway, in my earlier post, I promised to give out 5 SBI shares to the 3 closest guess as to how many votes we will get in the end. The winners are,
- @peachyladiva (Guessed 9000 votes)
- @richgang (Guessed 8542 votes)
- @ahmanik (Guessed 8500 votes)
Though STEEM didn't win the listing contest, your votes and participation should still be rewarded. The nice thing here is that we got way higher votes than all the guesses. With the end of the listing contest, the SBI shares have also been sent out.
Thanks for reading! What are your thoughts on the contest outcome? Do you think STEEM could have done better? Do give me a follow/upvote if you like what I am doing.
