This is a recap of the contest ran on that started on Jan 11th.

Comment Rewards have been paid to participants.

The discussion was:

• In your own words, please explain what is the best use case of blockchain technology and why?

Rewards Distribution Script has executed. I tailored similar functions from previous scripts into one Frankenstein monster of a script. It's 96 lines but it gets the job done as you can see below. Maybe I should add the comment permlink to the memo or maybe that's a bit much.

Here's my dispenser functions. Yes, I desperately need to add comments!

def dispenser(username,payoutlist,steem):
 for payout in sortedlist:
  author = payout['Comment Author']
  sbdmemo="Congratulations! Your Comment Contest Payout is "+str(payout['Payout'])+" with "+str(payout['Votes'])+" votes , "+author+"! Thanks for participating. Keep an eye on my blog for more!"
  amountsbd = float(str(payout['Payout']).replace(' SBD',''))
  if amountsbd > 0:
   print(sbdmemo)
   steem.transfer(to=author, amount=amountsbd, asset='SBD', memo=sbdmemo, account=username)
   time.sleep(3)

It's one cog in the machine of quite a few. I will be created a GitHub and polishing this up for a general release to the public and Steem community. This is an alternative for those engaging in "free" reward posts schemes. I know people love free stuff but this platform grows with excellent posts. Instead of rewarding upvotes with SBD/STEEM, perhaps it is better to reward thoughtful comments instead. Here are a few comments that were generated:
