This Topic

we wil be releasing Gitcoin Quests at Devcon V this year. this is the big [Gitcoin Quests](gitcoin quests) feedback thread.

check the link here => https://gitcoin.co/quests -- then .. found bugs? got a ux feedback? post it below:

[kuhnchris]

Getting logged on into the UX of quests your pop overs for news is hidden (white on white)

[kuhnchris]

My name is definitly not too long for this:

[kuhnchris]

During "Pitch your eth killer" I'm stuck on the page for "Quest Rules"

[kuhnchris]

Same with the others, seems to be MIDIjs is missing?

[kuhnchris]

the midijs.net certificate went dead a couple of days ago, that's why.

[kuhnchris]

midijs.net folks renewed their certificate! We're green here!

More bugs: During the FOSS - White on White reads like shite. Give the text some outline (black or so)

[kuhnchris]

Is... battle-bottoshi using Secret of Mana Battle music? Or some other (S)NES game? Sounding very similar to me...

[kuhnchris]

Double slash in tweet: https://gitcoin.co//quests/5/battle-bottoshi

[kuhnchris]

By clicking on that link you can re-solve the quest as many times as you like - you cannot redeem the kudos again tho.

[kuhnchris]

Use a loading screen - half of the time the music kicks in if i'm on the 2nd or 3rd question.

[owocki]

just put in a few fixes for the above

[owocki]

everett feedback https://docs.google.com/presentation/u/1/d/1BIS9fKMu9j_Wvu2cGRX0hzh49_Gzmdplbzu5d8ykEMQ/edit#slide=id.g61f8dcc9c8_0_91

[KevinSmall]

The first quest "pitch to a VC" I found it hard to understand what was going on. I think I got that I was supposed to be pitching an Ethereum Killer (EOS) to a VC, but the questions were not really questions (was that the VC asking me questions?). It just looked like lots of statements that looked to be quite random.

The second quest seems to be much clearer, it is structured as proper questions and answers.

[ligi]

0.5 mins is not really how you say this. Should state 30 seconds ..-)

[ligi]

Also I was in the cooldown period because IMHO the expected answers are wrong multiple times. Starting with the first question.

expected is (1) (3) (4) - but where does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Open_Source_Definition state (3) and (4) ?

and here:

the expected answer is 400 Billion here - but this was 2008 - and @owocki himself stated in the talk it must be much higher today

I stopped there ..

[Webmoss]

Completed all 7 quests but there is one Kudos for 2 quests, is this correct, I'm missing the Narwhal Bot?

Besides that, a fun experience and a great job @owocki

[owocki]

just put in a few fixes for the above

[sudeepb02]

I created a new quest here, pending approval - https://gitcoin.co/quests/13/journey-to-eth-20 After creating this new quest, I completed the Pitch your Ethereum Killer to the VC-Bro quest. However, in the redeem kudos page, I saw the message which I created for my quest

Congrats on beating the 'Journey to ETH 2.0' Gitcoin Quest

The kudos transaction also failed with an error here

Fail with error 'The number of Kudos clones requested exceeds the number of clones allowed.'

[owocki]

thanks for letting me know @sudeepb02 ; i just put in a fix for this (by making the kudos reward a new kudos; we were out of evil genius bots!)

[DistributedDoge]

As I mentioned in the email, scoring logic seems to be less than perfect, I have noticed the following entry in my feed after beating a quest:

"@distributeddoge just beat 'Journey to ETH 2.0'. You earned 0.25 quest points & kudos for referring them."

This looks level 2 referral reward that could be possible thanks to following the referral scheme in this order: @DistributedDoge => @ solexplorer => @DistributedDoge

I think having an (unintentional) referral loop (I referred @ sol, @ sol referred me) between two participants can lead to unexpected behavior.

EDIT: Apologies if I called someone by using @ username.

[owocki]

thanks @DistributedDoge ; maybe the fix should be :

• allow people to remove their referrer
• dont follow circular referral paths when rewarding points

[connortest1]

Issue with negative points for referrals:

[owocki]

thx; just put in a fix for this!

[0xsama]

When you try to create new quest, in "New Quest Application" form, it is not possible to remove questions after adding them, you will always get alert box with message: "you cannot have 0 questsions", even if you already have other questions added.

*Also please note the typo in the error message "questsions".

[owocki]

thx will put a fix in for that

The Twitter link that pops up when you win a Quest has an extra slash in the URL that doesn't allow to show the link on Twitter. Example: Bad URL -> https://gitcoin.co//quests/14/merkle-patricia-trees-and-the-blockchain ___^ Good URL -> https://gitcoin.co/quests/14/merkle-patricia-trees-and-the-blockchain

[naszam]

@owocki I'm trying to redeem the kudos from the quest MolochDAO 101 but pops up an error asking me to try again soon

[owocki]

@naszam - fixed the twitter url thing.. im having a hard time reproducing the kudos redeem thing.. any tips on reproducing?? can u open up a seperate ticket for it if so...?

[naszam]

Thanks for the twitter thing! @owocki Regarding the kudos redeem thing, I've tried to play again but every time I got the same message "Could not redeem your kudos. Please try again soon." Also, I've tried to reboot and reconnect MetaMask to Gitcoin, even specifying another address. Every time I got the same error. I will try to open an issue.

[naszam]

I've just created a new issue -> #5375

[naszam]

Also, I'm struggling a bit with two quests, the Come to Consensus and Meditation on Moloch. I was wondering if maybe is due to an internal error, like not specified the YES/NOT button during the creation process. In particular, I've tried lots of permutations for the following question on Come to Consensus: In the context of Ethereum and consensus algorithm, What is Casper? Choose the correct answer[s] There are 5 different answers but tried almost 100 times and still no getting any solution. My guess is that during the creation, the creator forgot to set the YES/NOT buttons to YES so there are no right answers or it's just me!? Also the quest show just 2% winners. Same for Meditation on Moloch but I've tried less and not sure.

[0xsama]

Hi, regarding "Come to Consensus" quest, I also believe there's a problem with that question about Casper, i tried many times with multi answers, but none of the answers combinations worked.

[owocki]

@ososco @naszam i just fixed the meditation on moloch and the come to consensus -- thanks for flagging that..

Im going to add validation to the 'new quest' form where it tells you if your quest contains a dead end..

[naszam]

Just an update on the Twitter thing. I've checked and seems that there is a redundancy of gitcoin URLs. Something like the following: https://gitcoin.co/https://gitcoin.co/quests/28/cellarius-universe-guide

[owocki]

78774322b9ae217079b229a407b8260edc5a4928 should help with that

[owocki]

@naszam are you still experiencing the twitter issue? i put a fix in for it y'day

[Solexplorer]

Series of improvement for Gitcoin quests

[naszam]

@owocki Now Everything Works Smoothly! Thanks!

[naszam]

@owocki Still stuck on the "Come to Consensus" Quest at question 4 but probably it's just me..

[owocki]

@naszam hint: there are two correct answers for come to consensus question 4

[naszam]

@owocki Oh! That's so kind of you :) I've just beated the Quest on Come to Consensus!!! The only thing is that there is no Twitter button unfortunately..

[owocki]

The only thing is that there is no Twitter button unfortunately..

at the end of the quest? or when u claim the kudos?

[naszam]

When you claim the Kudos

[naszam]

Btw, I managed to twitt anyway :)

[owocki]

weird; the twitter button shows for me; https://twitter.com/owocki/status/1187845669320445954

maybe its an ad blocker thing?

[naszam]

@owocki Gitcoin Quest 101 is not working, probably due to a bug on the first question. Tried selecting the correct answer and also multiple answers.

[naszam]

I created issue #5389. But now is ok, I just needed to wait a bit.

[calumtomeny]

I was able the redeem Kudos for quests I completed earlier today but I have completed four quests in a row and I can't claim Kudos for any of them - I am getting two error messages at the top of the screen when I click "Redeem Kudos":

I think it may be a similar issue to #5375

[owocki]

@calumtomeny thanks for letting me know! just refilled the kudos account. quests took off more than i expected so have to up my refill schedule :P

[agnelvishal]

I have tried selecting all the answers in the quest https://gitcoin.co/quests/40/gitcoin-quests-101 but I keep failing. The winning percentage is also 0.
