Congratulations Everyone!

Another big milestone achieved!

Thank you to all the contributors!

Following is the first draft for rules regarding the Bounty program that I plan to start from Monday.

This is just a draft and I would love any kind of feedback coming from the community.

I will finalise the rules by tomorrow after I get some feedback from the community. We will start the campaign from Monday.
I have allocated 7K XEL from my holdings for this. We could have a better, more rewarding, and longer running Bounty program of someone else joins in and contributes some XEL. I will wait till tomorrow to see if someone wants to contribute some.

Draft:

Twitter Campaign:
Max XEL Allocated: 3000
Duration of the campaign: 15 days

Each tweet gets 0.5 XEL.
If a tweet gets more than 50 Retweets / 100 Likes, gets another 0.5 XEL for it.

Retweets dont count as a tweet.
A maximum of 300 tweets per day will be considered. Any submission done after that on the same day wont be considered.
A maximum of 2 tweet allowed per account per day.
Links to Blog posts related to XEL will be considered.
The tweet, along with some relevant text, must contain at least 2 hashtags from the following: #XEL, #Elastic, #TheOnlyDencentralizedSuperComputer, #FirstRealDecentralizedSuperComputer, #ElasticCommunity, #ElasticProject
