Hola Human nodes and friends!

As you are aware, the first stage of the Genesis NFT contest has concluded with the vote for the Best NFT contest voting.

And yes, there were some hiccups due to a third party voting bot. Sigh.

Before we announce the winner, let us go over the hiccup. Due to the fact that the voting bot only supported 25 options to vote on, and we had 27 entries, 2 Core members Entry #9 and Entry #16 withdrew from the “Best NFT” contest (but still remain in the pool to be minted and be used in the 2nd contest”).

Yes there was the hiccup that caused the voting to conclude early… but more confusing was when the bot announced the winner, it showed Entry #14 as the winner in the pie chart and stated that the winner was Entry #14, but in the bar graph, it listed No.13 as the entry with the most votes. Thus the confusion.

The answer here is rather simple. The winner of the contest was indeed “Entry 14”. The reason as to why it said 13 was the winner in the bar graph, is because it was the “13th option” out of 25, meaning Entry #14 (as Entry #9 was removed from the voting options, Entry #14 was the 13th option counting from 1st option in the mind of the bot even though the name attached to the 13th option was Entry #14).

As the users were clearly able to vote for Entry #14 without mistaking it for Entry #13, the winner of the Best NFT contest for the Genesis collection is Entry #14! Congratulations!! 🎉

And with the conclusion of phase 1 of the contest, we will be announcing how phase 2 will work in a few days. But to give you a sneek peek, you will be able to enter a raffle to win one of these NFTs, and see which one will get traded the most!
