FAQ & kontak
Answers to common questions about ArtaQuest — how publishing, the reproducibility checklist, challenges, coins, sponsors, and donations work — and how to reach us.
Ania ti ArtaQuest?
- A social feed of citable, reproducible work. Every submission — survey, dataset, model, article, 2D or 3D illustration, 2D or 3D animation, 2D or 3D game, or music — is a public Kaggle notebook that has been run. The author pastes the URL of the notebook's output page, picks which of its output files to publish, and an exhaustive reproducibility checklist runs against Kaggle's public API before the author publishes the work from their own inbox. Published files land in the Library, where any member can attach them to their posts. Reading everything is free, no account needed.
Kasano nga ipablaakko ti maysa nga obra?
- Paste a Kaggle notebook URL, pick the files to publish, read the checklist, request publication, then confirm from your inbox. That is the whole flow. The checklist's blocking checks all have to pass; then a single-use secret goes to your own registered email, and your click plus your device passkey signature is what publishes the work and mints its permanent DOI short link. Every step is free.
How is a work checked?
- It is checked, not judged — nothing here is scored, ranked or graded. A reproducibility checklist runs about twenty deterministic checks in four groups: can anyone open it, can anyone re-run it, did that run produce these files, how repeatable is the result. Every check names the exact evidence it read from Kaggle's public API. Blocking checks must all pass; warnings are shown loudly and never block. Because the Kaggle pages the checklist reads answer without a login, the whole checklist is a public assertion anyone can re-run and contradict.
Why must every work be a public Kaggle notebook?
- Because that is what makes it checkable by a stranger. Reproducible here means anyone can hit Copy & Edit then Run All on Kaggle, from public inputs, and get this — weaker than a byte-for-byte guarantee, stronger than taking our word for a run on our own machine. Kaggle runs the notebook and enforces the internet switch; we read and report what its record says. The Kaggle kernel is the provenance, and the DOI short link (artaquest.com/d/n<id>) is the citation of record, because a kernel is owner-editable and deletable and a DOI is not.
Kasapulan kadi ti account?
- You can read, play and listen to everything without one — and re-run any work yourself on Kaggle. A free account is needed to post, heart, publish and enter challenges. Signing up takes under a minute and needs only an email address; there are no passwords, ever.
Mabalin kadi ti makikadua no awan pay 18 ti tawenko?
- Dagiti miembro nga agtawen iti 13 ken nasursurok ket mabalin nga agparehistro babaen ti pammalubos dagiti nagannak wenno guardian. Ti panaggatang iti Arta Coins, wenno aniaman a sabali pay a bayad, ket kasapulan ti account holder nga agtawen iti 18 wenno natataengan, wenno maysa a nagannak wenno guardian tapno makompleto ti transaksion.
Kasano nga agtrabaho dagiti karit?
- A challenge is founded by a member: pick a kind, a sitewide topic and a full-moon deadline, set the entry fee, and open it with your own notebook — the founder pays in like everyone else. Every entrant's fee goes straight into the pool, and at the full moon the most-hearted entry takes the whole pool; an exact tie splits it evenly. The Foundation never takes a cut.
Kasano a sumrek iti maysa a karit?
- With your own work of the challenge's kind — a public Kaggle notebook that has cleared the checklist and that you have published from your own inbox. Pay the entry fee — all of it goes into the pool — one entry per member per challenge. At the deadline only the hearts decide.
Apay a puso imbes nga up and down votes?
- Ngamin, saan a kasapulan ti panagraman a negatibo. Pusom ti ay-ayatem — maysa a puso iti tunggal miembro iti tunggal sungbat wenno trabaho, pulos a saan a bukodmo — ket dagiti bilang ti mangranggo kadagiti board. Awan ti downvote: ti linaon a makinegosio iti gura wenno buteng ket tamingen ti ArtaMod, saan a dagiti pile-ons, ken amin a dadduma ket maikari nga agtakder iti ayat a magun-odna. Tunggal puso ket publiko iti Data explorer.
Ania ti nagdumaan ti sinsilio ken puntos?
- Two different things. Arta Coins are money — gold-backed, spendable, cashable; you win them by taking a challenge pool. Points are standing — a lifetime tally of what you've contributed that sets your rank (Quester to Legend). You earn points by creating (publishing works), engaging (a point for each reply you post), donating (a point per coin given), and volunteering (resolved contributions, shares, referrals). Spending coins never lowers your points.
Kasano ti agdonar?
- Mapanka iti panid ti Donate, agpili wenno mangiserrek iti kantidad, ken itultuloymo ti ag-checkout. Bayad babaen ti Interac e-Transfer wenno kard; makitam a dagus dagiti instruksion iti panagbayad. Pasingkedanmi ti pannakaawat iti uneg ti 1–2 nga aldaw ti negosio.
Ania ti Arta Coin (3)?
- Arta Coin (₳) is ArtaQuest's currency. Each coin is a claim on one milligram of real gold, and the Reserve page publishes the live ratio of gold held to coins issued — so you can check the backing yourself instead of taking our word for it. A coin is worth the same in every country. You win coins by taking challenge pools, and you can buy or cash them out at the live gold rate from your Wallet.
Apay nga adda ti donasion iti CAD?
- Ti foundation banks idiay Canada, isu a ti checkout ket nadenominado iti doliar ti Canada. Dagiti panagbayad iti kard ket automatiko a mangbalbaliw iti lokal a kuartam; Ti Interac ket para kadagiti bank account ti Canada.
Ania ti maaramidak iti Arta Coins?
- Found or enter challenges, donate them to the member fund (which also earns you donor points), or cash them out for ordinary money at the live gold rate from your Wallet. Every coin is a claim on one milligram of gold; the live backing ratio is on the Reserve page.
Mabalin kadi a makaalaak iti resibo ti buis?
- Not an official one, and we would rather say so plainly than leave you to find out at tax time. ArtaQuest Foundation is a Canadian non-profit corporation, not a registered charity, and CRA does not permit a non-profit to issue official donation receipts — so a gift to us is not tax-deductible. Every donation does trigger an email confirmation you can keep as a record, and every cent of it appears in the Foundation’s published books, on the Finances page.
Mabalin kadi nga isublik ti donasionko?
- Saan a maisubli dagiti donasion iti pangkaaduan (kitaen ti Pagannurotan ti Panagsubli), malaksid kadagiti naduplikado wenno di autorisado a panagbayad. Mabaliktad dagiti sinsilio a naaramid para iti naisubli a donasion.
Ania ti pakausaran ti bursary?
- So that cost never decides who takes part. Through the Sponsors programme, donors earmark Arta Coins to a community, and bursaries draw on that fund. Where it stands today: the bursary form still covers the retired course fee, not a challenge entry, so it cannot pay a challenge fee yet — we would rather say so than send you to a form that cannot help. Every coin in the fund is public in the ledgers meanwhile.
Ania a pammaneknek ti matgedak ti kasapulak para iti bursary?
- Umdasen ti maysa a dokumento: ti CRA Notice of Assessment, surat ti benepisio ti gobierno (AISH, Alberta Works, Income Support, wenno katupagna), report ti credit rating a mangklasipika iti matgedam kas Nababa, wenno sabali pay a dokumento a nasubok ti kabaelan.
Maysa kadi a rehistrado nga organisasion ti ArtaQuest?
- Wen. Ti ArtaQuest Foundation ket maysa a rehistrado a Canadian non-profit. Daytoy ket agtartaray laeng para kadagiti panggep ti edukasion ken awan ti iwarasna a ganansia kadagiti miembro. Ti saan a makaganansia nga estruktura ket nairanta — daytoy ket mangsalaknib ti panagwaywayas ti plataporma manipud iti pannakagun-od, pannakakuarta, wenno siuulimek a pannakaiturong manipud iti misionna.
Ania ti takder ti ArtaQuest iti AI?
- Ti maysa nga AI ket nasanay a mangted kenka iti maymaysa a kaaduan a sungbatna — tapno marpuog ti lubong dagiti posibilidad iti maysa. Kas maysa nga alikamen, nabileg dayta. Kas kasukat ti panagpanunot, siuulimek a pabassitenna ti patien dagiti tattao a posible, ken gunggonaanna ti panangawat iti gagangay a sungbat ngem iti panangaramid iti maysa. Dakkel met nga enerhia ti puoranna. Ti ArtaQuest ket naibangon a kas sungbat — saan a maibusor iti teknolohia, ngem para iti natauan a faculty ket saan a makasukat: ti abilidad nga agpanunot para iti bagim, ken tapno palawaen ti maysa a saludsod ti makina ket nailet.
Itantandudo kadi ti ArtaQuest ti partikular nga ideolohia wenno panangmatmat iti lubong?
- Saan.Saanmi nga itantandudo ti aniaman a tradision, denominasion, wenno napolitikaan a takder, ken awan ti awatenmi a pondo a mangguyod kadakami nga agturong iti maysa. Iyegmi kadakayo ti kasayaatan a libre a pannakaammo a masarakanmi, idatagmi ti kapigsaan a napudno a kaso para kadagiti agsasalisal a posision, ken bay-ankayo a makadanon iti bukodyo a konklusion imbes nga ited kadakayo ti maysa. Awan ti panagbuteng, awan ti panagsao iti gura, awan ti propaganda.
Sadino ti naggapuan ti pondo ti ArtaQuest?
- Donations. Submitting, checking and publishing are all free, and challenge pools are never touched: 100% of entry fees returns to the winning entrants. Every gift, every coin and every gold figure is in the open ledgers — see the live Reserve and the Data explorer.
Adda kadi status ti ArtaQuest iti charitable para kadagiti resibo ti buis?
- No. We are incorporated as a Canadian non-profit and rely on the paragraph 149(1)(l) income-tax exemption; we have not obtained charitable registration from the Canada Revenue Agency, and until we do we cannot issue official donation receipts. If that ever changes, this page will say so first.
