Title: Antminer A3 giveaway [for free to the community]
Post by: rei_m on February 21, 2018, 10:24:09 PM
I have a fully working Antminer A3 that I would like to give away to the first person who is able to guess my birth year.

The rules are simple:
1. Only one guess per person.
2. The first person to guess my birth year wins.
3. Guesses must be made publicly (no PM please)
4. I'll announce the winner Friday 23:00 CET.
5. I have shared my birth year with a trusted forum escrow already. They have kindly agreed to confirm my birth year afterwards.

I will pay shipping so there is absolutely no cost to the winner (Except maybe import duties. I'm shipping from Switzerland)

Happy guessing everyone and please keep your posts clean, respectable and on-topic.

PS. In case anyone is wondering, this is the same miner I tried to unsuccessfully sell here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2893877.20

-------------------------[EDIT]---------------------------------

1984 Orwell style

And we have a winner!!  :D

Congratulations @kurbeks, my birth year is 1984. May I ask whether it was just a lucky guess or do you just have mad Google skills?
@Kurbeks I'm sending you a PM to get your address details.
I've asked OgNasty to confirm my birth year on the topic.

And thanks to everyone who participated. Hopefully we as a forum can have a lot more of these in the future.

Craziest thing I’ve heard of!

Pretty sure its 1992.
Can you have the trusted escrow confirm here? Are you sending them the device so that they can release it?
Wondering if this belongs in another section due to the nature of the post, hopefully someone else can provide guidance.
Good luck to all.

Ok, ur mum is 75. Average age women became pregnant in Switzerland is 30.20.
Which makes you 45 yrs old.
So 1973 it is ; )

Yes, I can ask them to confirm here. I was planning on sending the device directly to the winner. What would the benefit be of me sending it to escrow first?
And yes please, I'm open to suggestions if this is the wrong section for the post...

well.. imo guessing is useless. But reading all ur posts and trying to find info on the web and making some educated guess.. pretty useless also, but statistically is much more "lucky" ; )

Well, from photo what you posted February 06, 2018, 11:57:27 PM, your finger looks like finger of man, what born in 1980 - 1999, about nick rei_m found same at twitter ->  github -> facebook page. I'm probably wrong,  I know you metioned in one post, that you need to ship something to switzerland and also in your account Location:  Switzerland.  But why not try, I think you born in 1995.  ;)

(Sarcasm.  Only have 1 account and you have a point, should be a somewhat small minimum amount of posts required before the date this was announced)
