First I want to say sorry that you are waiting for so long on the prize money!
The contest prizes are part of @valueplan and they assured me that they will send the prizes to both of you. It just takes more time than expected for them. Thank you for your patience and sorry for the long delay. But we trust the Valueplan team of course and just wait here together with you.
I can relate and understand that you are probably not happy with the situation. Unfortunately, we are not in charge of the prize money but I ask them (@valueplan) on a regular basis. Thanks for waiting and again sorry for the delay. If you want to have a chat with someone from Valueplan in person please join our DIYHub Discord Server and I will forward you to them.
@foxkoit: This pressure brings us to think about not doing further contests with partners like Valueplan and such high prize pools anymore. We are all here to have fun and earn a bit while doing what we do (while the diyhub contest team does without any rewards in return and just for the community). This kind of pressure and negativity is unhealthy for us, Hive, and everyone else involved.
Thanks again for your patience and trust!
