This is one of the problems with big prizes for community efforts--strong motivator but you're crazy if you think anyone is sharing results with 100s of k on the line.

I mean I gave up... It was a fun evenings entertainment, but it outlasted my attention span.

Got lots of paper-like things, and have learnt a lot about the papyrus plant and the long cells it has... But didn't manage to get out anything that looked like 'ink'.

You can see some very promising ink detection results here: https://scrollprize.org/tutorial4

And in this recent paper: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/educelab/EduceLab-Scrolls/...

Anything you would like to share? Those hundreds of sheets would be useful for the community, and would be eligible for a $2000 open source prize.

Or if you'd like to tell us what you did in private, we'd appreciate that too. team [at] scrollprize [dot] org.
