Last week I said that Maybe these two "bad weeks" are releated to the market, which is waking up, so hopefully the Suggestions category will follow the same path.. Well, the market woke up but the bears are pulling really hard and now it is all red again. Same for the category.
We received only 6 contributions and 4 have a chance of being rewarded, or have already been rewarded.
The good thing is that the average score was almost 70.

The most active moderator this week was @syedumair

Remember that upvotes are never guaranteed.

A big thank you to @blockchainstudio and @wagnertamanaha.
The CB is real thanks to them.

Disclaimer: The prize is taken from my personal account. This is an unofficial contest. It is only for the Suggestions category. You must not complain to Utopian about this contest. If something is wrong with the points, or if the rules are not clear, you should write to me, not to Utopian.

After this month I will stop the contest for a while.

Common mistakes and how to fix them

source

The aim of this section is to show you the most common mistakes found this week. Followed by a short description and tips when applicable. Usually, I split the section in two: Contributions with a score of 25 or less and Contributions with a score of 50 or less.

1 - Contributions with a score of 25 or less

1.1 - The impact on the functionality and usability of the project is low

If the overall of your post is excellent, but your idea has little impact on the functionality and/or usability of the project or could be achieved in a easy way, you will get a few point less. Try to suggest unique, original and useful features.

Interesting open source projects

source

In case that you want to contribute on the Suggestions category but do not know any project, check this list.

1 - Steem Keychain

Putting private keys directly into websites is not safe or secure. Even ones run by SteemIt, Inc. Yet this is currently how nearly every Steem-based site or service currently works. On top of that, most Steem users likely use their master password which is even worse
Steem Keychain aims to bring the security and ease-of-use of Metamask to the Steem blockchain platform. [Source]
Repository: https://github.com/MattyIce/steem-keychain

2 - SCOT

Smart Contract Organizational Token for steem-engine.com. [Source]
