Done and done. Sitting pretty in 9th but I think the devRant community can bolster that number.
-
@dfox @trogus I don't know if it will work but if we have gmail account we can try the dot trick.
Gmail doesn't recognise "." in our emails so we can register again and again by placing the "." in different places multiple times. If it works a single person can give many votes from a single account. -
dfox428288yThanks so much @Tyr3al @inpothet @thmnmlst @tekhouse @Dacexi @donkeyScript @enjoythecode @Shri @Unipheas @Jase @JRodDynamite @mowgli @randombug @nblackburn @Numinex @DotM @aki237 @Siddharthkr93 @scriptex @jckimble, @GurpreetSK95 and everyone else who has voted but didn't comment!!!
We really appreciate the support. I think we have to be in like the top 10 to have a shot, but of course being higher than that shows our devRant pride in the startup world :) -
@Siddharthkr93 it will also work with the alias but its better to be legit and real imho. We only need to be in top10. Which WE ARE π€
Edit: #4 now lol -
@tekhouse yeah same here, it says they give a ticket to a few voters. if one of my accounts gets one I'll probably put it on here and the first comment gets it
-
TNW page said top 30 gets on stage, devRant currently #5, lets make sure it staysbthatvway or gets even higher!
-
cube57468yI dont even help my friends when they ask me for votes on fb but for this I voted in like half a second
-
rove24028y@donkeyScript its weirs, it seems that they don't check if an e-mail has already voted...
-
@altermind that would be pretty poor if they didn't have some sort of check for duplicates. If that is the case, we should fire up some bots.
-
rove24028y@donkeyScript ahah, since they did not even send a confirmation email to my address, I think its possible that there are no security parameters.
-
@donkeyScript @altermind don't tempt me, I can setup a wildcard email forward and make a submission bot that goes down the word list on my domain
-
@altermind lol, how bout if I write a puppet manifest and bash script to do it me and you both do it
but seriously if devrant drops below 10 I will, exim is good for email forwarding anyway -
rove24028y@jckimble I read on the page that they will pick 30 startups, so that's not really a problem
(But I'm not even sure of what "pitching" means π) -
yarwest27158yThey don't do any form of back-end validation, a@a as email address works :p
Expected better from tnw -
yarwest27158y@altermind it does say that the vote is registered. if they dont have a message for a wrong address, that's kinda shitty too
-
@altermind ok until it hits under 30 then
@yarwest yeah would be nice to see devRant as #1 but I'm not going to risk them checking 2000 emails and they all be from my domain and it count against devRant, now if devRant drops low enough where they can't get on stage I'll do it cause there's not alot to lose at that point -
@aki237 I'm not yet, but all you need to do is pull the form inputs and use curl. so a bash bot would only take 5 minutes
-
@aki237 you can still use bash, you use curl to get the xrsf token and save the cookie using curl and use sed to parse the token from the page then submit a post request using another curl call with the cookies you got from the first request. it should be 5 lines of bash to make, probably could pipe a few of them to make it less
-
dfox428288yThanks for the continued support everyone, you all are the best!!
We are currently in 14th which is definitely good enough we think, but anywhere beyond 15 and we might not make it because either 10 or 15 of the 30 are selected by judges it seems.
Voting officially ends at 12PM Eastern Time today. We'll keep you updated! -
Dacexi120368yI have an idea. Everyone make a rant telling people to vote so that devRant will be filled with #voteDevRant
-
dfox428288yHey everyone! We got some great news today... we're in!! Thank you all so much for supporting us and making it happen. devRanters are the best!
We can probably try to record the presentation and we will keep everyone updated! -
dfox428288y@thmnmlst haha, thanks.
But really we're in just as good of position as opposed to if we were #1. Hopefully we can impress the judges!
