Time for a contest! A contest to see who can predict the future ;)

Up for grabs is the following:

Here is what you need to do:

Post what you think will be the Mt. Gox ask price for BTC in USD on January 15th, 2013 at Noon in this thread. If your guess is correct, you win!

This is a free contest, there is no cost for entry!
The closest guess to the actual value wins.
Only one valid entry per person (if you post more than one entry, your last entry will be the one used).
You can not guess the same value as a previous valid posted guess.
In the event of a tie, the earlier posting time will be the winner (e.g. the value is $10, one person guesses $9, another guesses $11, the first guess wins).

Entries will be accepted up to the end of 2012 forum time.

The winner will be announced the week of January 15th.
The prize will be sent to the winner by Canada Post Small Packet.

This is not actually an auction but putting it in this section will prevent people from editing their entries during the course of the contest.

Good luck! :D

Maybe the contest operates under the rules of BFL time?

*checks back thread on end of 2013*

There are a lot of entries here to go through but I'll have the winner announced as described :D

We were actually joking about the guys still posting bets after the new year, not about the lack of a winner announcement.

Fair enough ;)

I am really close...just not sure which timezone they were using.

Yeah. UTC time seems to make the most sense.

Has a winner been determined yet?

How did this go? ???

Hi All,

This got more complicated than expected, but then it wouldn't be fun otherwise  ;D

I have the following information using the raw data from bitcoincharts.com:

Timestamp: 2013-01-01 00:00:00
Open: 13.51

The time at bitcoincharts.com is in sync with the time here in the forums and I have always used "board time" as the standard for time in any of my auctions so there's no reason to change that ;)

This result actually creates a tie :o

drakahn
13.50

Winterfrost
13.52

But in the event of a tie, the earlier post wins.

So we have a winner:

drakahn @ $13.50

Great guess/prediction/vision :P

Congrats on your win!

Please message me to claim your prize :D

wow I ended up actually be quite close with my $13.37 guess. Fun contest :)

Wow, didn't expect I'd be close at all. Congrats to drakahn and thanks to c0ffer for the contest!
