4 years ago Hello Joshua @joshthegreatavenue ,
It is really noble that you are trying to protect your friends' apps but I strongly disagree with the way you are doing. First of all, before you start pointing fingers, you should at least read and understand the App Mining rules. This is the minimum you should do, and you clearly don't understand how Awario scoring works and you are accusing me of exploiting it. If you spend a few minutes to understand, you would understand there is nothing related to an exploitation, the rules were simple and those who didn't do it, it is because they didn't had time to even follow how App mining is evolving.
If you are wondering if I built all those apps alone, you are wrong, we have 3 different teams working on the same coworking. We share some resources like design and marketing. You are saying that the goal of app mining is to have high quality dApps and this is exactly what we are doing here, it is not coincidence that those apps have better TryMyUI scores and even rated better on your own poll on the chat.
You are clearly being partial, that's why instead of focusing on showing how you believe my apps are not high quality ones, you are trying to even discuss my other past startups . If you want to discuss it, I am happy to jump on a call with you about that, because this is not the scope here.
Summarizing, you are accusing me of something I am not doing because you didn't read the rules, if you don't agree with the rules, you can open an issue suggesting how you believe it would work better. It is that simple.
What is the problem you are seeing? Please describe. Currently, the top winners are no where to be found online despite gaining the MAXIMUM Awario Score.
From : https://blog.blockstack.org/introducing-awario-app-reviewer/
Quoted from Blockstack PBC : 'A common pitfall across all new projects is failing to engage customers and potential customers earlier on. Particularly in crypto, there is a lot of the ‘build it and they will come’ mentality and most projects are failing to find effective ways to market their products outside of a very small echo-chamber (or at all). '
Then why are high engaging dApp developers are losing Awario scores by many points against this developer?
The top winners held by pDrive, Secure Calendar, SafeNotes, Photo Vault and Bitcoin4Photos are done by one single developers who I believed has been gaming the Awario system.
My Case against this developer : https://envl.app/joshavenue/hpsQba!MHMKCFUZYOLp3jcT
Check Armig's reddit, he has a redirect link that will bring you to this GitHub : https://github.com/arinyguedes (Probably the same person.)
This person also spams Reddit without Engaging like how other developers would. (https://www.reddit.com/user/Armig/)
Moderate : BitPatron
https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinicius-melo-03a68b134/ <-- Possible Dev profile. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2059117.860 <-- He founded Auctus , which was an exit scam The same person who is currently pumping those 13 apps in App Mining Auctus Exit Scam Telegram : https://t.me/AuctusProject
From Awario :
Reach: The estimated online Reach of the Mention collected on the brand. Example: How many impressions the tweet mentioning the app actually generated.
Mentions: These are captured mentions of a brand or app online, on social networks, and on news sites. A ‘Mention’ is registered when the name of the company or brand appears publicly. Example: A tweet mentioning the name of an app in App Mining.
There is no mention of his app anywhere that I could find.
How is this problem misaligned with goals of app mining? It causes community members to lose faith of the mission we are pursuing, which is high quality dApps.
What is the explicit recommendation you’re looking to propose? Pause the reward for this developer until Awario's exploitation can be found.
Describe your long term considerations in proposing this change. Please include the ways you can predict this recommendation could go wrong and possible ways mitigate. See Issue #182
