Dear Uptrennd community,

First of all let me say that memes are for fun but after all a great way to remind everyone not to take things too seriously. The crypto revolution is exciting, and we should never forget that it also can be fun. Memes are the likely best way to get new people interested in crypto after all :). And we at BANANO like memes a lot.

You might have seen the current Uptrennd vote finals getting quite some attention here. This has surely resulted in lots of new users joining here, which is great. In the light of recent events I'd like to share a recent statement I also posted at the BANANO discord server, which is where our community is most active. It's good that it's also visible to the Uptrennd community.



Hi everyone, quick heads up regarding the Uptrennd vote:

We'd like you all to know that we're thankful for all your support in this vote, and it already has given us lots of positive attention by the Uptrennd community without doubt. With the related airdrop to all Uptrennd members we're showing our appreciation to everyone welcoming the BANANO community at Uptrennd. Thanks to everyone, you're awesome!

Meanwhile it has become apparent that using fake accounts or bots to vote is allowed from Uptrennd and will influence the results drastically. While we have no control over anyone doing this we would like to emphasize that BANANO doesn't want to stand for a community vote that was won through exploits whatsoever. If that means we're losing this vote that's totally fine, don't worry. We're aiming for solid development and are growing nicely without winning this vote. So please refrain from cheating, and instead of spending time to get BANANO more votes we recommend to spend your time today in a better way, e.g. with your friends or family.

Enjoy your day and take care, I'll try to post a final update on this and other news here and elsewhere later tonight as well.



For context, the vote that this is about can be found here and is still running for another 24 hours approximately. If you like to support us you're very welcome to do so, and you also should claim the airdrop (info below) to all Uptrennd users regardless for whom you voted.

The announcement of the vote states 'Whoever receives the most votes in the poll below will win' and 'There are no other rules or ways to be disqualified.'

We would like to note that we think it's not ideal that the Uptrennd team does not clearly oppose fake votes and votes from bots or fake accounts and instead states 'no rules or ways to be disqualified'. If you have a closer look at BANANO, you'll see that it's a unique project distributing all coins free and fair through faucets, giveaways and airdrops. While doing so, we are investing a lot of energy making BANANO distribution as fair and widespread as possible and avoid any exploits through bots or fake accounts.

That's also one of the reasons why we always have emphasized and would like to hereby emphasize again that we do not endorse cheating whatsoever. It still is ultimately hard to tell which users from which project has tried to exploit a vote, however we just wanted to clearly state again that BANANO doesn't want to win this through any exploits. We thereby again ask all users to not try to exploit this vote by any means and keep it fair.

Also, since we are feeling heartly welcomed by the Uptrennd community and after seeing many positive interactions between BANANO community members being new to Uptrennd and the Uptrennd community, we really like the idea to show our appreciation with our ongoing BANANO Airdrop to all Uptrennd users: Make sure you claim yours if you didn't yet:
