FAQ og kontakt

Answers to common questions about ArtaQuest — how publishing, the reproducibility checklist, challenges, coins, sponsors, and donations work — and how to reach us.

Hva er 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.

How do I publish a work?

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.

Trenger jeg en konto?

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.

Kan jeg bli med hvis jeg er under 18?

Medlemmer på 13 år og over kan registrere seg med samtykke fra foreldre eller foresatte. Kjøp av Arta Coins, eller annen betaling, krever at kontoinnehaveren er 18 år eller eldre, eller en forelder eller verge for å fullføre transaksjonen.

Hvordan fungerer utfordringer?

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.

Hvordan deltar jeg i en utfordring?

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.

Hvorfor hjerter i stedet for opp og ned stemmer?

For smak trenger ikke noe negativt. Du har det du elsker – ett hjerte per medlem per svar eller arbeid, aldri ditt eget – og tellingene rangerer styrene. Det er ingenting å nedstemme: innhold som handler med hat eller frykt håndteres av ArtaMod, ikke av pile-ons, og alt annet fortjener å stå på kjærligheten det tjener. Hvert hjerte er offentlig i datautforskeren.

Hva er forskjellen mellom mynter og poeng?

To forskjellige ting. Arta-mynter er penger — gullstøttet, forbrukbare, kontanterbare; du vinner dem ved å ta en utfordringspool. Poengene er stående – en livstidstelling av hva du har bidratt med som setter rangeringen din (Quester to Legend). Du tjener poeng ved å skape (publisere verk), engasjere (et poeng for hvert svar du legger ut), donere (et poeng per mynt gitt) og frivillig arbeid (avklarte bidrag, delinger, henvisninger). Å bruke mynter senker aldri poengene dine.

Hvordan donerer jeg?

Gå til Doner-siden, velg eller skriv inn et beløp, og fortsett til kassen. Betal med Interac e-overføring eller kort; vil du se betalingsinstruksjoner umiddelbart. Vi bekrefter mottak innen 1–2 virkedager.

Hva er Arta Coin (₳)?

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.

Hvorfor er donasjonen i CAD?

Stiftelsen banker i Canada, så kassen er denominert i kanadiske dollar. Kortbetalinger konverterer din lokale valuta automatisk; Interac er for kanadiske bankkontoer.

Hva kan jeg gjøre med 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.

Kan jeg få en skattekvittering?

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.

Kan jeg få tilbake donasjonen min?

Donasjoner kan ikke refunderes generelt (se refusjonsreglene), bortsett fra dupliserte eller uautoriserte betalinger. Mynter preget for en refundert donasjon blir reversert.

Hva er et stipend for?

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.

Hvilket inntektsbevis trenger jeg for et stipend?

Ett dokument er nok: en CRA Notice of Assessment, et statlig fordelsbrev (AISH, Alberta Works, Income Support, eller tilsvarende), en kredittvurderingsrapport som klassifiserer inntekten din som lav, eller et annet behovsprøvd dokument.

Er ArtaQuest en registrert organisasjon?

Ja. ArtaQuest Foundation er en registrert kanadisk ideell organisasjon. Den opererer utelukkende for utdanningsformål og deler ikke ut overskudd til medlemmene. Den ideelle strukturen er bevisst – den beskytter plattformens uavhengighet fra å bli anskaffet, tjene penger på eller stille bort fra oppdraget.

Hva er ArtaQuests holdning til AI?

En AI er opplært til å gi deg det mest sannsynlige svaret – å kollapse en verden av muligheter til én. Som et verktøy er det kraftig. Som en erstatning for tenkning, begrenser det stille det folk tror er mulig, og belønner det å akseptere det gjennomsnittlige svaret fremfor å trene en. Det brenner også mye energi. ArtaQuest ble bygget som svar - ikke mot teknologien, men for det menneskelige fakultetet kan det ikke erstatte: evnen til å tenke selv og utvide et spørsmål maskinen har begrenset.

Fremme ArtaQuest en bestemt ideologi eller verdensbilde?

Nei. Vi tar ikke til orde for noen tradisjon, kirkesamfunn eller politisk posisjon, og vi aksepterer ingen finansiering som vil trekke oss mot en. Vi gir deg den beste gratis kunnskapen vi kan finne, presenterer den sterkeste ærlige sak for konkurrerende stillinger, og lar deg komme til din egen konklusjon i stedet for å gi deg en. Ingen frykt-prat, ingen hatytringer, ingen propaganda.

Hvor kommer ArtaQuests finansiering fra?

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.

Har ArtaQuest veldedig status for skattekvitteringer?

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.
