I did something @octant that you should be aware of.

I used @ampsfun to amplify my #farcasterrpgfspring2025 submission. To play fair, I did not include likes, because likes are used as votes (if I got this right). But there is a loophole here, where one can pay $200 to purchase likes and get $2000 in rewards. Am I right?

I think this is possible too

Yeah does seems like a loophole but we also have the right to disqualify people.

It's not easy to see it unless you are looking for it. For example, I can spend $100 on 50 every reputable accounts (that are probably also purple holders) and get 50 likes that will significantly affect the distrubtition. 

You will have to analyze  the appkeys (signers) used to sign these likes, and see that I used @ampsfun.

It would be easy for someone to build a tool that gets all the likes, checks the signer and generates a list of signers used. One would expect that 99% of the likes are from Farcaster (the app) right now.

I think it will be easy to find when most people have 10 votes and one person has 75. We can easily dm the voters and see if they voted.

We are meeting twice a week and going through all the entries already. But I think maybe this is the end of using rounds like this since it’s a lot of overhead to check
