TLDR: Download the Qtum wallet, leave it open, you might win free Qtum. No posting, advertising, shilling, or purchase is required. You do not need Qtum tokens to participate. You will have to leave your device online 24 hours / day. This can be a Laptop/PC/Raspberry Pi/VM/VPS/Potato, we don't care. If it compiles, you should be fine. Instructions are in this post, but you can find them at the event website as well: https://fullnodes.qtum.org/


If this event breaks any forum rules we're not aware of (we read the rules and believe this is fine) please delete this post.

We’re happy to announce another round of our Full Node Incentive Program. To maintain a healthy decentralized network, we are asking community members to lend some of their computing power and bandwidth to make this happen.

This is meant to be a fun community event where everyone can participate. It does not require participants to hold or purchase any Qtum tokens. Nothing is asked or required other than running a Qtum node. Last round there were less than 100 prizes, and after careful consideration, we have increased this to number to 822.

Prizes are awarded based on a random draw and online time, which means all you have to do is follow the instructions and leave your device online. Once you have verified that your node is correctly set up, no other action is required, and you may win a prize.

If you don’t find what you’re looking for in this tutorial, reach out to our team on the Qtum Telegram channel: https://t.me/qtumofficial

This tutorial will show you how to access the Qtum Full Nodes program. Please follow the steps presented here, if you have any issues/questions, please address our community support channels (Telegram, Discord, and Wechat).

Download the Qtum installer

Go to our GitHub! https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases

Select the appropriate Wallet version to download; or click on the link below to download the latest 64-bit Qtum Core Wallet for Windows.

Https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases/download/mainnet-ignition-v0.17.5/qtum-0.17.5-win64-setup-unsigned.exe (http://Https://github.com/qtumproject/qtum/releases/download/mainnet-ignition-v0.17.5/qtum-0.17.5-win64-setup-unsigned.exe)




Install the Qtum Core Wallet

Double-click the downloaded exe file, and then select “next”, follow the installer’s instructions and click finish at the end.




Select “the default data directory” in the welcome interface










Next, we need to Launch Qtum Core and modify the configuration file.
Here’s how:

    Go to the top menu -> settings ->options in the Qtum Core interface.
    Click on “open configuration file” — you will see a disclaimer about the configuration file, click on “ok”.







Open the file with the name “qtum.conf” and paste the following:

uacomment=QgoaDTzvoR7NvXrDkofF1iHJL9GFWPwWXJ (replace this with your Qtum address)

addnode = qtum5.dynu.net

Save and close the file.

Note: Replace the example address with your own in case you win a prize, for example, QgoaDTzvoR7NvXrDkofF1iHJL9GFWPwWXJ


Ok, let’s verify this is working properly
Check if it works!

    Restart the Qtum Core Wallet
    Wait 15 minutes for the network to broadcast your address, and for system to update, then head back to the Fullnodes program website.
    Enter the Qtum address on the website to see if the address is online. If it is online, it means you have succeeded; if it is not online, check the previous steps.

   and what is this graph? that there should appear instead of zero?

I has been downloaded all blockchain at 2 hours sync succesfull.
Can i locked my wallet still receive reward?

Great, we appreciate the help. Your chances to win a prize are based on how lucky you are, and how many others are participating in the program. There's 822 prizes, which are drawn randomly. It's just a matter of waiting, the program will run for a few weeks.

The "Winnings 0" title means you haven't won a prize yet, but the program is only a day old. If you're lucky, you might win one.




You need to make sure that the address you generated in your wallet and submitted on our website is showing on the list. Go to the website and verify that it has been accepted by the network. If you've done this properly, you have to leave your wallet open 24/7 to operate as a full node. Only then will you have a chance to win a prize.

If you guys have other questions, hit us up in our Telegram channel or ask here. There's no need to notify us here that you're participating, but we do appreciate a thread bump.

   sorry, but another question, I have a dynamic IP address, this is the effect on the race?


   https://d.radikal.ru/d30/1906/f3/c00969a37fab.png (https://radikal.ru)

That's a good question, I'll find out for you. It will most likely affect your total online time, but it may not affect the random draws given out for the 822 prizes.

even with the zero balance ?? okay I will try, looks interested and funny :)

btw, how to see my node / address

Do you have the exact date to participate in the bonus?

why my address doesn't see at the luckydraw result

You need to click the "CHECK" button at the top to see if your node is being recognized by the website. You're likely not in the LuckyDraw results because you haven't won a lucky draw prize.

Someone just won a 200Qtum prize. If you're participating, check your wallet.

  

   if I understand you correctly, then I have exactly the same chance to win as any other with a static IP address?
I see that my provider changes my address approximately every 10-12 hours....


  https://c.radikal.ru/c34/1906/81/ea82a7446f21.png (https://radikal.ru)


p.s. I think that if I had only one connection for all the time, there would be more chances.... I just want to clarify with you, I would not like to entertain a whole month false hopes.

The developer who created the event said that it shouldn't matter if you have multiple IP addresses linked to one Qtum address for the final online time draw. It will just give you a lot of small chances to win, versus someone with a large weighted chance, but it will balance out to be the same. You're not entertaining a full month of false hope.


Also, people can link as many nodes as they like to one address, provided that each node is actually a node. They just use the same address multiple times after spawning as many nodes as they're capable of. There's no mechanism in place to prevent this.


The Qtum global node count is about 4400 right now, of which a bit shy of 1000 are from the Node Incentive Program you're participating in.

How long will this promotion last?

 Rules
You must run the latest version (>=0.17.5) of Qtum core wallet.
All nodes must keep online and be able to provide blockchain data.
You can check the status here. It's updated every 5 minutes.
The lucky draw will be held once an hour. It will start from 8th June to 8th July (UTC+8) until all the awards have been given away.
The prizes for the winners will be automatically transferred to their addresses immediately after the lucky draw.

Is it possible to get a prize several times?

There's no mechanism in place to prevent someone from winning multiple prizes

waiting a day and didn't won anything. okay thanks for your attention :)

https://i.imgur.com/9a2Ehhv.png

why did some people win 5 or more times? for example this man - QahfameVLPYRbwXn8FYLBLgtazwCMNsp6M. So many ip adresses. it's not fair

That's not a transaction, that's a graph showing your Qtum address linked to an IP address. The other example is someone who likely has a dynamic IP address waiting for a prize like yourself. There's no advantage/disadvantage to having a dynamic IP address.

They have an advantage. QRMTutcfuzV19XcuTrVkpGvrZkMbX8ASMk He won 19 times. You can check it in lacky draw. You will be more likely to win if you have a lot of IP addresses

I don’t understand how they win, my wallet is online for a week and I don’t have any money. And why all the Grand Prize were played in the first week?

This round will go for one month, June 8th-July 8th. There will probably be a third round, but maybe a small gap in between (it may start July 10th or something). There's still more time to go in this event, but if we do a third round, you won't have to do anything except register your address again to participate.

Make sure at the end of this round that you don't just delete the Qtum QT wallet. Last round we sent out 2Qtum to all of the participants at the end of the round. I'm not promising we'll do that this round (it's up to Patrick) but it will allow you to easily participate in the third round if you keep the application updated.

I can't answer why all the grand prizes were sent out in the first week, it's likely random. There will be an event at the end of the round where luck is based on online time.

 822 prize, 1000 participants .... I have no questions why I didn't win any prizes, I was among 178 losers  ;D  given that I never for a moment during this month (almost) not turning off the wallet https://fullnodes.qtum.org/en/check   QPW7jgRjuVw43e8zCZeCLrhKtyRXM97G6Q
in any case, there are still a few days left to see it through, but in the future I will have the science not to go on such adventures.

p.s. if you really need to maintain the network, it is possible to simply make 1-2 coins, on the condition of the online time of the included wallet within a month.

   you could not update the information here... as I see you played the Online Prize https://fullnodes.qtum.org/luckydraw


 

 This award will be counted by the user’s IP, when there are several different effective nodes that run under the same IP, the one that stays online the longest will be selected automatically. https://fullnodes.qtum.org/luckydraw

 wasted time for me, exactly a month did not turn off the wallet, maybe you should have said that with a dynamic IP, the chances are zero.
