Here's a sneak peak of the data format you'll have to parse in order to compete in the Data Clustering Contest that starts in 2 days.
Following questions from participants of the JavaScript contest, we've updated the section about test phone numbers for testing user authorization flows (previously available here).
core.telegram.org
User Authorization
How to register a user's phone to start using the API.
The results of the themes contest have finally arrived. We carefully inspected each of the 341 themes submitted by the 277 designers and selected the ones we considered best. While none of the themes submitted are perfect, hereβs how we identified the winners:
1. Themes that supported more than 2 platforms were slightly prioritized.
2. Themes that could be built within a few minutes using the Telegram UI were discarded.
3. Themes that we deemed unusable (e.g. those with low contrast / dissonant color palettes) were likewise discarded.

Data Clustering Contest: Round 1
General info about the contest is available on @contest. See also: This page in Russian The task for this contest is toβ¦
The Data Clustering Contest ends on Dec 2, 23:50 Dubai time. You can now submit your files to @jobs_bot.
Please plan ahead to make sure you have enough time to answer some basic questions and upload your file.
Note that after completing your initial submission, you may resubmit the archive at any time before the deadline.
After the end of the contest, we will run all submitted algorithms on our evaluation data set and publish the results. The source code of the apps will remain available only to the judges.

The first round of the Data Clustering contest is over. We have received a total of 112 algorithms which will now be tested on our evaluation data set. The results of these tests will soon be published on contest.com
Congratulations and best of luck to all participants!

The second stage of the blockchain contest starts tomorrow and will last 2 weeks. The 41 winners of the first stage will be able to take part. The prize fund is $100,000 + another $100,000 subject to additional conditions.
The results of the Javascript contest will be published within the next few days. Next week we are going to host the solutions submitted for the Data Clustering contest in a way that would allow anyone to test their output. Stay tuned!

The 2nd stage of the blockchain contest starts today.
Dates: 7 Dec - 22 Dec 2019.
Prizes: $100,000 will be distributed among the winners (+additional $100,000 will be awarded subject to certain conditions).
Who can take part: 41 winners of the 1st stage.
Goal: build one or two TON-based smart-contracts (decentralized services) that can become popular with consumers.
Criteria to identify the winners: 1) The validity and efficiency of your code 2) The potential demand for your service from a consumer standpoint.
Description: in Stage 1, you have proved that you know how to build smart-contracts on TON. This time you may choose any idea you like for your smart-contract - and implement it. You will retain the ownership over the decentralized projects resulting from this contest. You are also encouraged to launch your apps on TON mainnet once its live.
Your project should be decentralized and built with a TON-based smart-contract, but can also include off-chain elements if required. Each participant may submit a maximum of two projects.
Participants may request 5000 Test Grams from @test_ton_bot to test and develop their apps.
Good luck!

We received questions regarding the use of external software in the second stage of the Blockchain Competition.
While you may submit such projects, note that code ported from Solidity apps is likely to be less efficient.
During evaluation, we are likely to prioritize apps built with Fift/FunC toolchain over apps built with third-party toolchains (e.g. Solidity compilers for TVM), but you are welcome to use any tools you like. If you are using third-party solutions, make sure you include detailed build instructions.

Submissions for the first round of the Data Clustering Contest are now available for public testing:
https://contest.com/data-clustering
Everyone is welcome to leave their feedback while our judges tally up the results.
For reference, this was the data set we used: raw, en, ru. We will be feeding more test data to the submitted algorithms in the coming days.

Several clarifications for the first round of the Data Clustering Contest.
1. Some articles in the first evaluation data set were missing the attribute
If this issue was causing your app to crash, kindly notify us in the @contests group so that we can relaunch your algorithm on the updated data set (don't forget to mention your spiritual animal).
2. For your information, we will always use the following launch order for testing all submissions:
Unfortunately, if your submission requires a change in the source code or resubmitting the binary to start working, we will not be able to help you at this stage.

Stay tuned for the second evaluation data set coming soon.

If your submission is not working but can be fixed without changing the source code or resubmitting the binary (e.g. by installing dependencies, changing launch parameters) you can write detailed instructions in a comment on contest.com and then ping us in @contests. If we have to fix your submission, we will apply relevant penalties during final scoring.
