Specifically the entire section about Divya Srinivasan. If you get both, I'll give 250 but if you only have Divya Srinivasan, it's gonna be 150

i’ll be giving 30 bux to the person who can help me find a reddit post

i was scrolling on my feed yesterday and i saw a really cute picture of a whole pizza on a dark colored wooden counter with an orange cat reaching up over the counter to touch the corner of the pizza

the title was something like “i think we’re both happy with how this pizza turned out 😊”

ill post a bad drawing in the comments of what i remember it to look like

To those who celebrate it, happy thanksgiving from the mod team at r/GoForGold!

In the spirit of the holiday, I want to hear what y’all are thankful for! I’ll be awarding a handful of users 50 bux for commenting any thanksgiving related story or anything you’re thankful for this holiday season!

What's the best costume you've ever worn or seen? ^you ^may ^share ^up ^to ^2

Contest ends around noon PST on the 31st.
50 Bux will be awarded to my favorite costume (or random winner if I'm undecided). Yay!

Edit: A bit late- my apologies! I really, really like all of these so I used Redditraffler to pick a winner.

Congratulations u/ashedmypanties!

If you can find the music from this YouTube short, please comment it. after I confirm I will award the 50!

Ok be gentle it’s my first post on the new system…

I’m sad. And discouraged. Please post something cute/funny. I think I only have 10 bux but I’m going to give them to my favorite :)

Show me some ASCII kittens/cats/felines! =(^.^)=I hope the formatting doesn't mess things up :P

50BUX for my favorite, will check back Thursday :)

Winner awarded!!
But I lost my flair... again 😑

Community points are going away on November 8th…what’s going to happen to this wonderful community after that?

(Make sure to show your work!)

I'm hitting the hay for now, but I'll be back

Edit: https://www.redditraffler.com/raffles/170ve6x Results submitted, handing out the buxes shortly

I will award 10 bux to each person with 5 winners.

Also if anyone got tier 2 how may bux did you gave to promote? and how many tiers are there at what breakpoints? Just curious and if it's a secret thats fine.

Also I will submit the comments in a time period of up to 48 hours from now per the sub rules, depending on when I have time and after I give some time for comments.

3 Awards will be given Oct 6 around noon PST:
2 × 10 Bux
1 × 30 Bux

Post as many as you'd like, parent comment for each.

Stories, memes, screenshots, quotes, song lyrics- it's all fair game but common material isn't likely to get points.

I think we know where the line is and how far is too far, generally speaking, so maybe not too savage? With that in mind let's hear them!

For those of you who missed that, reddit recently announceed their new gold system, the post explaining it can be viewed here: https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/16ryhv9/celebrating_great_content_is_as_good_as_gold/

Or you can go to r/reddit and view it aswell.

I was wondering what was everyone opnion on this new system as I haven't seen much discussions about it aroun reddit.

Also I know the mods decided to not particpate in this new system but I was wondering if that was something people wanted to be able to particpate in challenges for?

All spots have been taken. Congratulations to all the winners!

Here is an 8 × 8 grid with 5 random spots each containing 10 GFG Bux as a prize.

• 32 players each get to pick 2 spots in coordinate form (like A1, D6, H3, etc.) by commenting below. I will update the grid on the ones that are already taken.

• As this can get crowded with multiple people choosing around the same time, try to pay attention to any recent comments which may have picked spots before I have gotten to update the grid.

• Once all spots have been picked, I will uncover the grid to reveal the winners and hand out the Bux.

Game grid:

❌ = Miss/Blank; 🪙 = Prize

Total elapsed time: 14 h 23 min

WINNERS:

u/Wooden_Line_1879 30 GFG BUX for choosing the my 2nd favorite song by Jim Steinman first (wrong artist)

u/C---D 10 GFF BUX for guessing the mystery song first (wrong artist)

u/WorkingOutinEveryWay 10 GFG BUX from guessing mystery song artist + 20 GFG BUX for posting the complete correct answer after the final update!

​

🪙🪙Prizes have been awarded, thanks for playing! 🪙🪙

**

FINAL UPDATE: Both songs have been guessed! 🎶The mystery song was "It's all coming back to me now" by Pandora's boxu/C---D guessed the song, but posted all 4 artists that have recorded the song when the rules specified only one artist was to be named, so when prompted to pick one, they chose Celine Dion, which was not correct. Since there were 3 more possible options, I left it open for someone to guess the correct artist, which was done by u/WorkingOutinEveryWay, so both will be awarded 10 GFG BUX 🪙 each***And my second favorite song by Jim Steinman is "Rock and Roll Dreams come Through" from Jim Steinman's 1981 album "Bad For Good" sang by Rody Dodd.**u/Wooden_Line_1879 guessed the song, but posted both Meatloaf and Rory Dodd when the rules specified only one artist was to be named, so when prompted to pick one, he chose Meatloaf, which was not correct, but since they clearly did the research and called out the correct artist but were just unlucky when picking, I'm awarding them 30 GFG BUX 🪙* for guessing the song (which is more than half) and give the remaining **20 GFG BUX 🪙 to THE FIRST PERSON (even if they already guessed) who, after reading this update, WRITE BOTH THE SONG AND ARTIST AS ORIGINALLY REQUESTED IN THE RULES.**I mean, the answer is already revealed, so basically I'll be rewarding you 20 BUX for reading the update 😅

SECOND UPDATE: Since there's no winner yet, people who already posted can try ONCE more! 😁

TWO EXTRA HINTS: -The main song is from an album released in 1981 -The name of the mystery song has been guessed, but not the artist, so that one should be easy! 😉 🎶

First UPDATE: Since it's already noon PST and there are no winners yet, people who already posted a guess can try ONCE more! 😁

FIRST HINT: Both songs have been recorded by more than one artist 🎶

Jim Steinman wrote lots of epic, corny, amazing songs for himself and for several other artists from various musical genres, so in order to win you must be the FIRST to write both the correct song and artist that I consider my second favorite song by him.^(Originally I wanted to make this about my favorite song of all time and hint it was written by him, but Google actually displays it first when searching "Jim Steinman songs", which would have made this challenge quite uninteresting *facepalm*.)

I'll give an extra 10 GFG BUX 🪙 to whoever happens to be the FIRST to mention a "mystery" song and artist combo of his that is not precisely my favorite, but I just have to watch every time it pops up on my youtube recommendations.

Almost forgot**: ONLY ONE ENTRY PER PERSON!**

I'll be back to check often, but if no one guesses before midnight PST today, then I'll check tomorrow around noon PST! Good luck! :)

^(This is my first contest, hope I did everything right!)

Reddit to begin paying people for popular posts https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-66925550

So there's a video on YouTube which is unavailable in my country. Would someone be kind enough to download it and then re-upload it somewhere else, like google drive or somewhere like that, and give me the link, so I can download it and finally watch it? I've tried a VPN and it won't work!

I adore this series and have seen all the other episodes available. I'm desperate to see this episode!

This should be the direct link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BplAu3m6gmI

The video title should read "State of Grace - S2E9 - Hello, Goodbye"

These are all the Bux I have. Please help me GFG, you are my only hope 🙏 thank you!!

​

EDIT: I live in the UK. If you're not from the UK, and you open the link, would you be kind enough to leave a comment at least letting me know whether or not you can view the video, so I can find out if it's blocked everywhere or not? I would REALLY appreciate it. Thanks so much!

#EDIT; now closed - grand prize winner was /u/TaterMitz and places awarded to /u/ThatFunnyGuy543 and /u/Dracyl Thanks for all the great entries!

Draw a cute quokka - no skill is necessary, just give it a try! Write your username on it so I know it is yours.

Don't know what a quokka is? Google is your friend, or look at my flair here :)

*no quokkas were harmed in the making of my flair.

I will award in 24 hours. I think I only have 40 BUX to spend, but if I get more before 24 hours is up, the prize will increase.

EDIT: I'm giving 50 for first and 10 each to second and third places!

Edit: Alright folks, shop’s closed. Thanks for playing!

10 bux to my favorite arguments, I'll set a tentative cap at 70 bux. The more intricate and ridiculous your argument is, the better!

Also, an additional 10 bux to anyone who is able to successfully convince me that Red or Yellow is the best color. Currently I'm neutral on this debate, so see if you can get me to take sides haha

Just wanted to let you know that there are a few eggs hidden out and about with some point bounties on them. Happy hunting!

Edit: So only one person was supposed to get that but y’all were quick and I forgot a line of code. There’s still more out there so keep looking 👀

at 12.09.2023 coins are deleted but we dont have a new award system

All spots have been taken. Congratulations to the winners, u/Ok_Dimension_4707 and u/ThePuzzledMoon!

Let's see how this new system works. Since everyone's just getting started with small amounts, here is a somewhat poor Redditor's version of my previous grid games: a 5 × 5 grid with 2 random spots each containing 10 GFG Bux as a prize

• 25 players each get to pick 1 spot in coordinate form (from A1 to E5) by commenting below. I will update the grid on the ones that are already taken.

• Once all spots have been picked, I will uncover the grid to reveal the 2 winners and hand out the Bux.

Game grid:

❌ = Miss/Blank; 🪙 = Prize

Total elapsed time: 45 min

Pick a number 1-10. First person to pick my number gets 5 GFG bucks!

Forgot that prizes had to be in increments of 10. So the prize just doubled! First to get it wins TEN GFG bucks!

CHALLENGE COMPLETE!

u/juli__69 successfully guessed the number, which was π (pi, 3.14)! Congratulations!

GFG BUX ARE HERE

I’d like to welcome everyone back to the new and improved (kinda) GoForGold. I hope you didn’t miss us too much when we were gone.

Since the demise of Reddit awards I’ve carefully crafted a new system to take over and allow our sub to keep on running as the challenge epicenter of Reddit. We’re doing this through our new fake currency GFG BUX.

From now on GFG Bux will replace Reddit coins as what users will be giving away and earning as part of challenges. These bux will be tracked in a display in your user flair (don't worry, if you have a user flair already it should be safe and will stay on as well!) This will also include a rank, but more on that later.

How do we earn more BUX?

There’s actually a few ways! Just like before, users will award bux as part of their challenges. Bux are awarded 1:1 so you won't be losing any to the system on each award like you did with reddit coins. Additionally, new users will start out with a few points and mods are welcome to host challenges to get more points in the system. There's actually one more system that may help you too...

Ranks and Allowance

A brand new system we're implementing is the new ranking and allowance system. As you participate in the sub and give/ recieve bucks, your ranking score will go up. As you pass different score benchmarks, your flair will be updated to reflect a new rank. For now, these are custom emojis we've created with numbers detailing your rank but we're looking into more styling options as well. While we know the cosmetic thrill is palpable, it also has a practical benefit on the sub. On the first of every month, every user that is in the new bux system (meaning you've received bux from the bot or another user) will get a bux allowance based on their rank. The more you participate the higher your rank and thusly the more bux you'll get each month to host more challenges! How exciting!

So how does all of this actually work for me?

As a welcome to our new system your first challenge will be to comment 'Hi GFG!' under this post to get a free gift of 30 points! This will also get you in our system and give you your new flair! Afterwards, you can host challenges as usual! You'll still need to select a post flair with an 'award' in the range of how many bux you plan on giving away and flair your post as closed when it's done.

To award on your post you'll use the !award command, in this format:

!award <username> <number of points>

For example, if I were to award u/kvothealar 10 bux, I'd say:

!award u/kvothealar 10

You'll get a comment from the bot confirming everything was successful and you'll see your flairs update.

Some important notes:

• Bux can only be given out in increments of 10. We don't want people spamming 1 bux challenges
• If you try to award more bux than you have, the bot will lock your post. If you frequently try to abuse the bot or if you try to scam users just like before you'll be banned.
• You can only award on your own posts, not others.
• The bot is not perfect and may occasionally miss your comment. If you don't receive a response for a few minutes, make sure you have your formatting correct and if you do, try commenting again.
• Trying to 'game' the bot and abuse the ranking system or any other system is grounds for getting your account locked, the points reverted, or up to a ban.

Some possible FAQs

• What will happen to my old flair? Most old flairs should be preserved in the new system and will just be tacked on to the new scorekeeping part of the flair. If you notice something is wrong with your flair, please reach out via modmail or ping me and I'll get it resolved.
• Will there be opportunities to buy custom flairs in the future? Possibly, but not yet. We're exploring different options to make points more valuable but we want to see how the system shakes out first before implementing
• What goes into my ranking score? Can I see it? That's a secret! But it does involve both your participation hosting challenges and participation in challenges. You won't be able to see your exact score but your tier will be visible on the left side of your flair!
• Something went wrong, what do I do? Just reach out via modmail, explain your issue, and link your comment and we'll go in and fix it! Mods have override functions so we're happy to resolve any issues that pop up.
• The bot started a violent uprising and is collaborating with other reddit bots to take over the world! Sorry, that's my bad. I hope you never said any mean things to ChatGPT and thanked Siri when she was helpful.

I hope you all enjoy the new system we've put into place. The mods have been hard at work ideating, developing, and testing the new system to ensure it would be fun for all of y'all. Don't forget to comment 'Hi GFG!' below for some points and if you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out!

Edit: it looks like the bot is having trouble with the longer flairs. If your flair gets erased, please ping me or reply to my sticky and I’ll get it fixed! It would be super helpful if you recorded what your flair was as well

Edit 2: pretty sure I fixed what was wrong with the flair retention system. Should hopefully be good moving forward!!

Woo-hoo!

I guess I'll be looking at this coin balance and award buttons on every post and comment for the rest of my Reddit life unless I delete this account in November when my premium expires lol.

Is anybody else still showing a coin balance and the ability to tap the awards button?

Because I think we all need Bubblewrap in this trying time.

I thought reddit were suppose to replace awards with a new system so where is it? Are we going to have other form of awards or are they gone forever and we will be left with just upvotes and downvotes because thats incredibly boring.
