Easy way to win the Whales design contest

Then again, it may be easy to win, as I explain below, but it may not be easy to get PAID your winnings from Whales. They have cheated miners. They've cheated on the bug bounty. They'll cheat "steakers" — though I'm pretty sure it is "stakers" — and they'll cheat contest winners. So, just enter for fun!?

First, some background, not the the history of "Whales" cheating, that can be kept for the future, and I'm sure others will discover it if they haven't already, but on how and why the "Whales Design Contest" came about.

You see, it is all TonSafe's fault...

TonSafe came about for these reasons which you can read on the BASED blog.

In doing so, the approach for TonSafe design was not to completely reinvent the TON wallet wheel from scratch, but to take all existing designs, compare them, and use one as a main foundation starting point, since the focus was on making firstly the safest TON wallet, not the most original sexy design.

This resulted in a mockup of a TON wallet which took Tonhub as the starting point, with heavy modifications where needed, to improve UX and safety, and also some factors from Tonkeeper and Toncoin wallets. However, this resulted in a few saying that "TonSafe was a carbon copy of Tonhub"!

So, after TonSafe introduces a night mode (the first TON wallet to have both night and day modes, Tonhub having only a day mode and Tonkeeper having only a night mode), Whales tried to make fun of TonSafe in front of its users, posting a "how do you like our new design" — but featuring the image of TonSafe, and not Tonhub!

Unfortunately for Tonhub, this backfired. For the first half hour, they had all their friends and family give a thumbs down to the "new" design (TonSafe), but thereafter they could do nothing but watch as the Tonhub users voted overwhelmingly for the new "TonSafe" design!

So, what to do now... Tonhub's Whales could not now copy TonSafe, having accused the latter of copying the former. How ironic would that be. So, instead, realizing that their users were unhappy with the "childish design" of Tonhub, and evidently wanted a redesign, they opened a "Design Contest" with some big prize money for designers.

Now, here's how you can easily grab your prize money... well, no... here's how you can easily win the contest, given the track record of Whales when it comes to keeping promises to the community. And win, you well may, but again, you may not actually be announced as the winner by Whales. But, your design will be used, or parts of it...

In fact, they may end up taking different parts of different designs, while trying hard to avoid any similarity to TonSafe. But anyway, now that I've openly stated here that Whales don't keep their promises and pay up, maybe they'll actually have to pay up.

So here's what you do, and it really is simple: take a good look at TonSafe design, and copy it, submit it to Whales, and you'll win right away. Or, you'd win if the designs were put to a community vote, but, they surely won't. But it's worth a try!

Part One: "Complete redesign of the steaking section of the app"

Keep in mind you can enter into two parts of the contest: one is the "steaking design" — my advice is NOT to enter this part of the contest. Because, I'm absolutely sure that if you submit various steak designs, they will not be accepted.

The challenge would be to design this steak in an appealing and appetizing way

Part Two: "Redesign of the app's main screen"

So, you best enter the 2nd part of the contest, which broadly speaking, you are to do what TonSafe has done: put tokens, accounts, and the last transactions all visible above the fold. The easiest way? Simply copy TonSafe.

Or, be creative and make a new design. Maybe we'll even copy it! Or parts of it...

Oh, and they extended the deadline another 14 days, because all submissions so far looked too much like TonSafe, no matter the excuses they gave...
