For this initiative to reach its highest potential it needs to be a community effort and I'm extremely pleased to see so much enthusiasm, involvement and excitement so early on. This is giving me hope and confidence that for the next contest we will be able to conjure up even more great ideas from talented artists, more people who want to have a say at choosing the winner and, of course, an even larger prize/commission :)
The winner & all participants will be contacted shortly in regards to the winnings and the complimentary memberships as well as the 2 lucky voters who are the winners of $50 SATOSH.EE gift cards 👀

Thanks for the membership nostr:nprofile1qqsqaz92cumg6he9sfphsfsy9vlm8gn2zfhnmptkrrrtvef2nadl5zsprfmhxue69uhkymmnw3ezumr9vd682unfveujumn9wshszyrhwden5te0dchx76es9ehhyee0qyg8wumn8ghj7mn09eehgu3wvdez73lzjfj
I don't know why there was no mention of some people who voted for me though so I'll thank them here myself:
For some reason a number of zaps did not show up on any #nostr clients, as a result some votes were initially counted as void. I was able to find a bunch of uncounted zaps on the LN node and looking into the metadata, it looks like the accounts you referenced did, in fact, make qualifying zaps.
Apologies for the confusion, I'm not sure why the zaps didn't show up on nostr. Taking those votes into account, the end result remains the same though.
I will be looking into streamlining the voting (and vote counting process) for the next contest and perhaps temporarily reduce the vote weight of myself / Satoshee staff and sponsor companies for the next contest (or until we get a larger number of people voting) in order to not make the end result that heavily dependent on just a few people's votes.
Hope to see you participating in the upcoming contests and as always, feel free to make any suggestions here on nostr or via email opensourceculture@satosh.ee - as stated above, this is a community effort and as such, any and all feedback & advice is very welcome 🙏
Thank you for clarifying.
I think the voting weight is fine like it is actually, I would even go so far as to say remove unaffiliated votes altogether, and let only the sponsor and you guys decide. My reasoning behind it being that the artist shouldn't have to worry about rallying votes and focus on the art instead.
Well, the artist doesn't necessarily *have to* rally votes unless they want to...
For these public contests, I would like to keep involving other people in the whole process starting from determining the total size of the prize to the proposals to the choosing process. Another, slightly different aspect of the initiative will be completely privately (between myself/the Satoshee company and the artist) agreed upon works as per the "Creation" section on the nostr:npub1yxqdukmj70wlhwf6vg3fwkwcxmgdalahgsl7lcpka8gvs4xkew3s7p3a6x page:
"The Open Source Culture Fund will be used to commission new artworks to be created and released into the public domain.
This will be done in three ways:
1. Through direct, private arrangements between Satoshee Strategy and artists
2. Through public contests in which artists can submit offers as to what they would be willing to create for the public domain for a preset amount of BTC
3. Through zaps to users on the nostr network, who create and/or distribute Public Domain or Creative Commons (CC-BY) licensed content with the hashtag #opensourceculture"

We can always try playing around with any of those variables though in order to make it more or less public/private - i.e. set up stricter or less strict rules on what can be proposed, bigger or smaller prizes, one or more winners, different vote weights, etc. :)
Alright! I definitely appreciate with what you're doing here and I'm honored to be runner-up regardless, hope to join in the future!
Correction: the regular price of the Gold membership on SATOSH.EE is approx. 42,000 sats
Woohoo!! dm'd you back!!
