RE: Um, random giveaway competition (of some sort...)!😀
Hey folks, I’ve been really BAD😮
AGAIN!🙀
Sorry! 😱
I went away, and I did not post results for my giveaway, for a month after the due date😭😭😭😭😭
Well, anyway, be rest assured that ‘word is my bond’ (as they say in well educated establishments in England😜).
So, whether there are just 3 entries ... or 30 entries, to choose from, I’m going to go through them right now!!!!!
And I promise to publish either the winners, or the candidates and lottery criteria (one of the reasons for the delay was that I hadn’t figured out how to do this .. so I need to decide this too..) by the end of the month!😀😀😀😀😀
Very cool dude!
Well, thanks + hi!😀
Ok, the final entrants to this lottery are:
1/ @apprentice
2/ @alexandraioana26
3/ @anindia
4/ @yushaina
Here’s how the result will be determined:
I will take the hash (call this number ‘x’) of the Bitcoin block at height 507050 (which should be determined in just a bit over 24 hours from now,
Then I will take the modulus of 4 of this, using python; then I will add to 1, to get a value in the range of 1 to 4, to match the list given above.
I.e., the number for winner will be determined by this formula: (X % 4) + 1
Also, ‘just for the hell of it’, I’m going to increase the winner’s payout to 150 SBD😀
The 3 runners up will get 25 SBD😀
And, as previously mentioned, it will be 10 SBD to the two other people who didn’t quite qualify.
GOOD LUCK EVERY ONE!😄
AND MAY THE BLOCKCHAIN HASH VALUE BE WITH YOU!😂
Could you possibly make another post about this trying to determine winner by this blockchain technique, I tried to understand, but still feel like alien language.. I would appreciate it, just so interesting though.
Hehe...I’m too tired right now. But maybe...., or maybe i’ll try to post a better quick reply here if I remember😃
Ok, I think the list of entrants which I noted below are:
But I forgot to check the wallet amounts (very sorry!)
So, redone, to check the ‘max 50’ rule, I think we have just:
Right? All sound fair?
So, my plan is to randomly choose one of the above three, to receive a prize of 100SBD. The two runners up will get 20SBD. Also, as I forgot about about my own rule(!), the other three will get 10SBD :)
All sound fair, I hope?
Good luck!
I’ll publish the lottery mechanics tomorrow😀
I hope you will come back ! 😂
Thanks, I will try not to go away this time😉
@xaero1 at 31.12 I had below 50 steem +sp... i have a picture as a proof i think

this is when u posted last December, maybe I have a picture made on 31.12.2017, but I have to look!
But in conclusion, the rules are rules, so good luck! Maybe another time you will host another giveaway, where I will be eligible! I wish you all the best and congrats to the winners!
I think this is fair enough. The competition was meant to be over by mid December anyway, but I went AWOL :-/
So, I will add you in. Anyway, the rules are essentially all at my discretion, since there were no ‘official’ legal terms and conditions (such as ‘no purchase required blah blah...’) to begin with. Instead this just a case of: people can post a reply if they like; and I may sent someone some steem dollars at the end of it if I feel like it. Only things at stake are people’s reputations imo.
No worries, I understood you were taking a break, but wow thanks, this is so sweet of you! I know the rules are rules, I wasn't upset or something, I was eager for a brand new competition! I know for sure there'll always be a next time.
Xaeroooooooo I would like to participate too, what do I have to do? @xaero1
Sorry, @dojeda, too late for this one (by about a month :-( ), but i’ll Ping you next time if and when I do another ;-/
Is there any chance to do this again..? because my sp are very low (with -) yay for me 😂😬
Maybe;)
