i was here for only 2 weeks but the python and potato mash were suspicious. i just thought you are learning python so it is something new, and you just love potato mash :D and did not bother to check. thought you are organising this there were be no point in you cheating, my biggest problem, trusting people :D

Ok intermittent fasting dude Matko here is blondie Britt from the Netherlands on Saturday morning kinda disappointed but glad to........

I thought about this comment a few days and decided to reply on the day I have submitted my blogs #learnandearn for the last I don’t know how may #learnandearn weeks. Offcourse I read the learning curve about the skiwasser, the cherrypick a offcourse I saw that you did the same copy paste thing for three weeks , the blog before that were just as little words about insta and Linq I believe, but he it’s your blog, and contest, so I don’t want to to say anything to the initiator of the contest challenge.
But you punished me along the way for copy pasting the same blog by mistake !!!! and I wasn’t about to be a mum and do the same, I do this for me and even played around with some apps to create art with your face, you didn’t see that..... and the reason is time and about 20.000 other accounts you have to see , view or read. Plus 12 discords, 3 telegram groups and so on. Mixed with that challenge of yours of fasting LIFE IS TOUGH DEAR !!
And you take a break on week 20, that is a nice achievement if you ask me. I supported with Blockbrothers because I think it’s a nice initiative!

But......

I think it’s a waste to through it away so with your permission I will keep doing the #learnandearn tag and challenge it’s yours and I will reward 1 steem to number 1,2 and 3 or a SBI but I agree in your earlier reply I have to look into it first and I am changing the rule that you have to use the picture with your notebook. I just love the creative side of making a blog!
When you feel up to it again it’s yours again and you can take it back.
I am not as great magician in reproducing the data but sure I am gonna try MAYBE I WILL LEARN SOMETHING!

For the record I appreciated the contest the effort and the replies, and the fact that your developing an app for the refugees. Ok enough ,
blog to you soon and stay healthy 
And let me know if you don’t want me to go on with the blog,
I will DM you this reply too!

sad to see it go.. but didn't realize it was totally out of pocket for you.

I will likely continue to post since daily learning is something I've been doling for some time now..

Maybe if I ever end up as a Dolphin we can chat again about some kind of weekly bot that creates the initial post and bounty and then a discord group that rotates people with _ownership_ who go in and vet the posts for upvotes?

Also: nice _trick_ never changing your updates for the last few ;) You caught me at my busy season at work, so sad I missed it, _trickster_.. :D

You get the Loki token, if there was one..

Sorry it didn’t work out as planned z😐I thought it was a cool initiative. I feel guilty now for not participating although it is not due to lack of interest I swear... anyways I think it’s still cool to write about random stuff you learn  even if it’s not in a contest type of scenario

Aw! I'm sorry to hear this. You have to do what works for you here, and this initiative was a lot of work. I really appreciated and I hope your next endeavors work out better!

Musela som :D
Ale neé.. je mi luto tvojej série..fňuk :D

It's been a nice initiative and it was great of you to do it, no matter what the expectations and results. People did learn from others ;)

So, that was what bugged me... It seems I've noticed the things you repeated since I'm always checking those. But on some sub level where I never fully realized they were 100% the same. Just seemed very familiar. "Oh, he's on that voodoo thing again, that's not exactly voodoo... Doesn't matter, keep on doing what you love...".

I don't know why my mind is so scrambled lately, except that I know why. I just won't post most of it for now. Personal stuff is sometimes personal ;)

Let's hide a sentence in here and see what happens. Somebody else might decide to take up the initiative and continue it in their own way. I won't be too surprised to see it return to Steem at some point. But the network is small, yet, and that's the truth. (I wrote that because it sounded cool like in _The Dark Tower_ books, not because I'm a specialist on truths. Oh, wait, on paper I am something as close to that as it gets. Whatever.)

I support your decision because it's yours to make. Just be yourself. You're doing a great job of it, actually, you don't need me to say that ;)

I learned a lot of new routes to and from my new neighborhood, other things about logistics here and other information about the area. But that's of no value to anybody else until I collect it and make a story out of it.

See you around!

The refugee app sounds interesting. Is that through your work?

I hear you on the running of contests. It is a lot of work and the rewards are not always much. I have been running contests through the Freewrite House now for a long time and it is like a full-time job with very little pay.

In reality, the big accounts have tons of people who are trying to get their attention. And they already have their friends and favorites. And the little accounts can't give much of an upvote - even if they want to.
If you do a contest again, I suggest you give away SBI as prizes. that way, it helps you build your account as well and in the end, is a much better thing to have than a little bit of Steem. The upvotes keep on coming. It is a long term investment, but if we all hope that Steem will go somewhere - then it is the way to go.
Also, you seem to be doing very well with your DTube posts, so, keep doing what works for you.
And about the learning something. A lot of the things you have learned have no meaning in my world (like anything having to do with coding and such) so, it doesn't stick in my brain. And I read tons of posts - so, by the time a week has gone by, I probably already forgot what you had learned - after all, that is yours to remember, not mine LOL

I wish you all the best in all your future endeavors @matkodurko. Hope to see you again on the steemit platform my friend :) Take care.

I understand the bittersweet feeling, but there is actually no need for that (easier said than done, I know).  Look back at it, and realize you motivated people - even if it weren't that many - to reflect on their lives and their growth. It may not feel like an achievement right now, but it really is.

I ain't easy to keep a recurring thing going here. It's like you say: so many things are going on here. Most times, it were @brittanjosie's posts that reminded me to come over to your contest. I would come across one of her posts in PHC and every single time I planned to join. But always there were two more posts to check out (oh, how I hate those rules), which means I got completely distracted and often forgot all about it. I'm sure that goes for a lot of people. If only a day would have 72 hours...

19 weeks... I think you should feel proud more than anything else.

> at the end of the day, I hoped the contest to be profitable for me as well, no shame in that, right? We're all kinda here for rewards as well.

Absolutely no shame in that. But unfortunately, the harsh truth is that in my experience, contests are seldom profitable. I have run my fair share - still do - and I think the only contest that was ever profitable was the appreciation contest, but that's about it.

I hope a time will come when you will realize what a valuable thing you have been doing all these weeks - maybe not monetary-wide, but in so many other ways.

And good luck with the new project!!!

Hi there!

> I'm taking a break from running this

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that... but I understand you.

>Suuper-low interaction from participants

This is a problem across the board. I find that most people will vote but will not comment, for one reason or the other.

> No one really cared about my learnings

Well, to say the truth... since you only write 3 or 4 words for each day, that information was not retained by my brain. I bet if you had written a couple of paragraphs for each day, I would have noticed you were repeating it. 😕 

> At the end of the day, I hoped the contest to be profitable for me as well

Hmmm... I kind of blame you a little bit on that one. You should have not given higher prizes than what your post was getting. The initiative I'm running doesn't have that problem since the rewards come directly from the post rewards. If there are more rewards, the prizes are bigger. If not, then small prizes it is.

> No sponsors to increase the prize pool.

That will only come with time... you can't rush it.

> I'm getting really busy with the refugee app we're developing

That's a very good reason to make a break, regardless of any of the above.

Well, sir, I hope you resume this... and reformulate it so you don't run into the same issues.

I am sorry I didn't participate more. I always meant to come back and check people's posts, but I didn't always remember. I did sometimes comment when I saw something interesting though. I know some people enjoyed reading my entries as well.  

I have been keeping my interesting  new tidbits tabs open as I find things, so I would have something to post... You know... I may just keep on doing it anyway - because it's fun. 
I'm sorry it didn't work out as hoped. Even the PIFC, we keep talking about what we can do to encourage more engagement. It's not easy.

It is understandable you quit there are so many contests here that it is hard to join them all. I noticed most struggle with very less participants.
And if it comes to what you "learned" if a post always looks nearly the same it is seen as a example how to make it. Or did you make a separate post as well?

Most of all I wish you fun!
