r/CointestOfficial

Greetings and . , this final Coin Inquiries round marks the end of Cointest for the foreseeable future.

The mod team's priorities and attention are now fully devoted to rebuilding moons' functionality after Reddit 'sunset' community points. Cointest was an experiment to incentivize quality content in the main sub - to that end, we're happy to have distributed over the years to the community. We will continue providing users with other events and ways to earn moons,

We hope to stay engaged with all of you who submitted or enjoyed reading Cointest entries in the past. Please contribute your ideas in on how to improve our ecosystem. And reach out if you are interested in a volunteer position once Cointest relaunches, especially if you have python experience.

Selected Winners

This Coin Inquiries round started on August 1^st 2023 and ended on October 31^st 2023. A maximum of 11,000 moons will be distributed to the selected winners by the end of the month.

* Obviously the timing of the Moons Pro and Con threads was unfortunate. Given Reddit's decision to end support of the token, the submitted arguments were no longer relevant - the Cointest team has agreed to provide participants in those threads an equal amount of moons as a consolation prize.

Best Analysis award goes to for Oasis Network (ROSE) Pro-Argument. You can find the entry . Congrats!

The timing of this update could not have been worse, but still the show must go on...

We congratulate the winners of the July-Sept 2023 round and give our sincere thanks to all community members who have stuck with Cointest over the years. You make the community great and we're glad to have distributed over 292k Moons thus far (check my math in ).

There is one final round open for 2023 and the topics you can participate in are linked at the end.
