I was originally going to draft this as an email and tag some of the fabulous editors I’ve come to be familiar with @ HN. Instead, it’s probably a better idea to write a little public letter! I noticed that most sponsored competitions here at HN are web3 and/or blockchain-related. I wondered if we could gamify the overall processes and include the readers much more substantially in the competition (but probably not those in the USA) I propose that sponsors look deeper into their coffers and pledge more $.
