Have questions?
Do not hesitate to ask question in this thread!
Best regards,
CM.
CM: I appreciate your effort on this so please only take this as constructive criticism. There are too many choices, and some of the choices have similar designs, this makes it very difficult to really gauge interest accurately. Also, there are two obvious choices missing: None of the Above but keep working on a replacement; Keep the current splash screen; I would use the results of this vote as a way to narrow down the favorite 2 or 3 and then produce another vote with the winners plus the option to keep what we have or none of the above but keep working on a replacement.
Also, BGB posted a summary link to the cryptocointalk forum( https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1331-new-coin-launch-announcement-grc-gridcoin/?p=224309) with all the images that is helpful when looking at them:

There's many choices because there were many entries - I wasn't going to pre-select some over others, that would be me applying my own bias to the competition.
The 'None' wasn't really brought into the question because the forum thread had 15:2 (change:leave it alone).
Keep working on a replacement? Yeah, I guess.. but it's supposed to be a chill community based competition.
Yeah we can use the result of this poll to create a new poll to decide on a winner, I doubt anyone wants to keep the current splash screen though.
holy shit!
there's actually some really nice submissions here!
good job, everyone! :D
I guess it would be unethical to vote for my own design? I am enjoying some high magnitude right now through Milkyway@home, but it feels kinda wrong to push my artistic visions through magnitude.
A moral quandry indeed. The fact you are asking the question means you will do the right thing.
I don't think it's unethical at all. I didn't vote for my own splash screen.
Can you do multiple choice for Linux, or will entering a second option overwrite the first?
If you submit another vote you will effectively null your first vote. Only the most recent command is counted toward the results.
This is a command for voting for #29 and #2 on the command line:
execute vote Splash_Screen 29.GalacticReoTrayan;2.GalacticReoTrayan;
Note that the command is deliminated with spaces but your answer is after the 3rd space and this is deliminated with a ";" and there are no spaces in the answer choices. Your answer is stored in the blockchain as a string. Answers have to replace spaces with "_" because of the limitations in the command line and a delimiter is needed (which can't be a space) so the wallet can discern when an answer ends and a new one begins, the current code uses the ";" as a delimiter for multiple choice votes.
Crumbs, thats a lot of options Penfold!
I'm not enamoured with any of these, tbh, and there is no way to express that in this vote. I would use the gridcoin medallion, by itself, on a transparent background. This would allow the 'loading' words to appear below the medallion. Keep it simple and relatively small is my preference.
Ya need to participate in the competition thread otherwise your view won't be taken into account.
Just spotted that my entry is glitched: https://imgur.com/iOjWX9n
