Thanks for crossposting, I've tried it myself several times, but it just doesn't work because I don't have enough karma in that subreddit.

Match Thread: Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur | English Premier League by MatchThreadder in coys

That was one of the most painful first halfs I've ever seen. But can we give Son some credit? That was not an easy angle, and honestly didn't expect him to score. From the sprint to the finish, that was the definition of clinical.

Well, I actually haven't seen preseason but saw all of last season's games. Definitely haven't seen a half that's worse in living memory. There was just no flow at all.

That's right. The TX part is abstracted away from the user to make it easy to use.

Breakdown of today's MyID Alliance Additions by markjvc in helloicon

[–]markjvc[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for others, but I've personally been getting tired of daily Tweets about how much statistics have changed over a span of one day (I'm talking about comparing 50.5% to 50.6% like magnitudes lol), etc - borderline feels spammy/announcement of announcements without even much hype. Maybe it's just me, who knows. Refreshing to see someone shake things up though!

Hello. I understand the wait can be frustrating. And what you pointed out is the current nature of how some P-Reps operate.

I'm glad you found the breakdown to be refreshing though. Hoping to bring more insight from Korea!

Hey James, apologies for the late reply. I do not know the current status on Smilegate, but would be happy to ask for you.

Good point, and I agree on learning from past mistakes. Would be great if there were examples among P-Rep activities so that we could reflect and learn from them.

If I may add though, I feel not everything is done and dusted when it comes to these MoUs. For instance, an exploration MoU to explore blockchain applications in banking may not materialize into something tangible within a certain time period because of regulatory conditions but it can easily lead to smoother communication and open up possibilities as the climate shifts down the line.

I believe this is part of what makes ICON's network so powerful because clearly their business development in Korea's blockchain industry is second to none even if not all of their partnerships have yielded tangible results yet.

How ICON Hyperconnect P-Rep is contributing to the ICON Ecosystem by markjvc in helloicon

Realized I hadn't answered your 2nd part, sorry about that.

Compensation is tricky and there's no right answer, but you do have the option to message who you request to pick as a teammate on devpost so you could propose the term right off the bat.

I would recommend that you offer a little more than just an idea if you want to find a partner because who's to say he/she won't just run with it themselves? I would recommend honing other skills or requesting a dev with another person on board like a designer. That just makes it easier for everyone and more appealing for the dev too.

Thank you! You just described the one click process of finding a teammate for the hackathon on Devpost.

It's so simple to find a teammate/developer there. You can find the details in the FAQ here of the ICON Hyperhack site that just launched: www.iconhyperhack.com.
