It was my latest idea that triggered the thread. I thought it would be fun to have a type of prediction contest about the Bitcoin price at the time of the next halving. Members put 0.001 ( about £ 2,50 or $3.50) into a locked Bitcoin address, and the one who got closrst to the price, scooped the pool. It would have created some good speculation threads, which would have helped the forum, and if the price of Bitcoin did rocket up, then it could have provided a substantial prize.
Do you mean similar to this :
GAME game *game* "GAME" QUARTER PREDICTIONS or something like this :
FREE DAILY RAFFLE RULES. PLEASE READ PRIOR TO PARTICIPATINGBoth these successfully running projects seems to come under your criteria but they are being run by one single entity. Projects like these seems to trigger the interest in many but the participants are not exactly willing to throw out the money from their pocket or probably requires free money. For a forum which involves digital money, most of this forum people come here not to learn anything new or to help anyone rather they hunt for free money with just minimal efforts or scam some poor inexperienced newbies and run away with those money.
The projects which were started by you so far (ex. FitToTalk) have always been literally very helpful to educate people, but they didn't involve ways of getting any free money. Hence they gained less attention from third world bounty hunters and wasn't really trending in the forum. We as like minded people can start something which may help someone but taking those ideas forward requires other's commitment in the project.
P.S Both mic and krog have been spending the dime from their own money and such projects cannot be considered as a community driven one. The community participates in such things, since they receive something free.
