My personal thanks to @tijn who helped me get my own node up and running -- including the new Postgres functionality.

So, I now have BitClout data in a relational database that's queryable. I have 30+ years of experience with SQL, so this is going to be fun.

He is the winner of the 0.1 $dharmesh coin I had offered.

Thanks @tijn!

Just finished reviewing these and awarded 100 prizes, one per defi term. Pretty good experiment.

$600 for a defi dictionary
$6 prize per defi term
Up to 100 prizes

1) Let’s crowdsource a defi dictionary. Here are some example terms:

- Automated market maker (AMM)
- Miner extractable value (MEV)
- Bonding curve
- Impermanent loss
- Yield farming

2) Reply below with a defi term that is *not* in the above list.

3) Each qualifying reply will receive four diamonds, about $6. Up to 100 such prizes will be awarded. You may submit more than one reply.

4) Each reply should contain exactly one (1) defi term, along with a definition and ideally a link to more info or an illustrative figure.

5) If multiple accounts submit the same term, we will first sort by the subjective quality of their post (did they include a definition + link or not?). Then, as a second tiebreaker, we will use on-chain timestamps to establish priority, and the first qualifying reply will receive the prize.

6) We will conclude after one week or 100 distinct terms have been crowdsourced, whichever comes first.

Here's the runner up by @menajem which received $500 and is also quite good. May be worth merging these two pieces: menajem.soy/An-In-Depth-look-at-Privacy-Coins-a519cf459c93460e9e4cdc7a3503bdc9

@ishankbahl97 We got through the reviews and awarded you the $1000 prize! Your GitHub version was also helpful (github.com/ishankbahl/privacy-coins-analysis).

We may want to do a bit of copy editing here, but it's a great base. Nice work.

Very kind words. I've actually thought about doing something like this for a while...

Every time I discover an exciting new start-up, I see that it is funded by @balajis. What would happen if he hosted an annual conference for everyone he funds? It would be the most interesting room in the world. I can propose a name: The Srinivaserence. I'll see you there.

Here's my best @balajis! ;)

$1000 PRIZE for quantifying creator earnings on BitClout to date.

Here are the questions -

1) What is the average amount the top 1% of accounts in "diamonds received" have generated per week since diamonds launched?

2) How much is #1 PER follower on average across all the top 1% of accounts?

3) What does #1 looks like extrapolated across higher levels of DAU's (100,000, 1MM, 10MM, 100MM)?

4) Who are the top 100 creators of founder reward so far? And how much have they received on average in FR since the start of BitClout (assuming it was all in BitClout and not in your own coin from the start)?

5) What is the average of how much #4 is PER follower they have?

6) Combine #2 and #5 :)

Why do we need this?

As a community, we need to be able to show the world how the economics on BitClout greatly favor creators compared to alternate platforms...

To show we are small, but mighty...

If we want to be the future, we need to be able to see it first.

One of the interesting things about Bitclout is that it has an open backend. So you can build a search engine with database-quality queries.

That’s what @cloutavista has done. For example, query for creators with market caps over $1000, or users with “Ethereum” in bio.

BitClout is the future. We're building a blazingly fast and comprehensive search engine to help unlock its fullest potential.

This is v1. Excited to hear all of your ideas and input for how we can improve.
