i would hope that it would be better substantiated

otherwise this is like me offering sepolia eth to ppl doing real work submitting real apps

which imo feels pretty bad

can someone explain why testnet monad tokens r being used as a commodity

and even (in this thread/contest)

as an incentive 

???

imagine doing this w/ sepolia eth

There’s no way testnet tokens != mainnet tokens or they’ll have some kind of ratio 
Would you be joining the contest?

Okay but then why does the op suggest that testnet monad should be used as an incentive to be distributed?

Wouldn't devs be better off just hoarding it then?

this is all possibly true, but this seems incredibly fucked up incentive / speculation-wise:

"hey app devs, we'll give you fake tokens (worth nothin! but maybe...something!!!) and you should give them away! to your users! so that you can earn another maybe something!"

Yes they would, but me thinks it’ll be better for the devs long term to not hoard because of the usage of the apps might go into play too and not only amount of tokens, which usage will increase with more incentive to play.
