Yep, anyone can just resubmit it to the new site. Takes 30 seconds to sign up and I see several submitters from the forum thread already did. The point was to get way more designs and have more choice for the same amount of money. In fact, that's already happening. It makes sense for the Monero community, but it ups the competition from the artists' perspective.

And, yes, sometimes no one wins a contest. Actually, that's not even uncommon.

Hmm, 60 designs submissions and only one complaint about moving the contest to https://99designs.com/logo-design/contests/monero-mro-cryptocurrency-logo-design-contest-382486 to get more submissions.  There is nothing from stopping you from refining your logo and submitting to this site.  I just looked and it appears that several people have already done just that.

A logo contest contest doesn't pay for designs, it rewards the winner of the contest.  The contest isn't cancelled it is still ongoing as there has been nobody with a winning logo.  Nothing is stopping you from submitting as many logo's as you want to that site.  You can still enter and win if you design the winning logo.  Do you expect to get paid for just a submission?  Because that doesn't happen anywhere.

go to the trollbox on poloniex.... and ask them to withdraw manually... i had same issue... but this worked everytime... hope it helps

Yes

I 100% agree, and that is COMPLETELY not acceptable. Our aim was to open it up to different designers on 99designs to get a solid feel, not to cheat anyone. Currently my favourite design is still one in the thread. Let me say this to ensure absolute clarity: if you submitted a design in the logo design thread and it is the one we choose you will receive the 300 MRO and not a penny less.

gmaxwell is one of Bitcoin's most important core devs, so this is not FUD or ignorance. He is a genuine expert. In the altcoin space, a pre-announced launch on this forum is considered 'fair', but it's likely you'd miss it if you only follow Bitcoin communication channels.

Some context is needed. gmaxwell is among those who believe altcoins have little reason to exist (there are many fair reasons to think that, and it's flat-out true for most altcoins). So he likely sees Bytecoin as a testbed for innovation from which Bitcoin can learn, but doesn't care for the ultimate fate of it as a separate currency.

From this perspective, Monero is ruining the party by doing a fair launch and overtaking Bytecoin is usage because Bytecoin devs might now lose interest because their coin isn't getting used. From our community's perspective, it's worth trying to make CryptoNote succeed on its own and only a publicly launched one has the legitimacy required to succeed.

The point about the emission curve is a fair one. Several of us including me wanted to change but the community as a whole didn't like it. It's not a huge deal -- after all Bitcoin has implanted an idea in our heads for how a coin "should" distribute over time, but there's no fundamental theoretical backing.

because a lot of people even know this coin, when it is on coinmarketcap price easy double when a few new thousand people see this coin in the top 20
