So, now’s the time to calculate who’s the winner!
The final entrants were:
1/ @apprentice
2/ @alexandraioana26
3/ @anindia
4/ @yushaina
As previously specified, the hash of the bitcoin block at height 507050, would be used to determine the winner; and, the following (very simple) calculation was to be used: ‘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.’
The bitcoin blockchain has spoken, and therefore the result must now be in!
According to blockchain.info, the hash for this block is given by https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000000050ab2b33615e33de65bb8da1a0fc9a4923508d22dbf92
So, when I type
print((0x000000000000000000050ab2b33615e33de65bb8da1a0fc9a4923508d22dbf92) % 4) + 1) into python, I get the following output:
‘3’
Therefore, the winner is (wait for it... 😉)
(Ok, sorry, maybe a bit OTT for the actual prize! 😁)
Anyway, the prizes are going to be as follows (I upped the amounts slightly from my last post due to today’s falling crypto prices😱):
@anindia - 200SBD
@apprentice - 35SBD
@alexandraioana26 - 35SBD
@yushaina - 35SBD
@a-alice - 15SBD
@wahyu07 - 15SBD
So, congrats!👍
I’ll make the payouts in something like 24 hours time. [This is to allow a short period in case anyone has queries with the maths. And, please note: the above results are subject to change if there’s something up with the calc.😬]
As for another giveaway: Hmmm - not so sure now (I think I would fast run out of SBD this way)!😳
So, I’m thinking maybe somesort of lotto-upvote thing instead...?😀 But, this would require quite a lot of Dev work first. (Comments/suggestion on this possible idea - very welcome.)
