My first transaction was the 2nd of September - and am still here.

My Idea:

every CGB-er tries to talk one random real-and-actual person -- bus stop, party, whatever -- into setting up a CGB wallet, and gives them ten CGB, and offers to remain 'technical adviser.' This should generate a bunch of interesting and valuable data and anecdotes.

Great idea IMZ! Actually, we are in the process of designing a CGB business card template that anyone can print with a newly created address in order to hand out CGB to people they encounter at malls, concerts, college, work, etc. Just one of the bday promo ideas that will be launching this month!

Can you hold it in one hand?

No

One more then I'll let someone else have a go :)

could two people lift it?

No

Is it a virtual object?

No

can you go inside it?

Yes

This is a blast from the past. Nice to see its still alive.

I think I had 2-3 CGBs at some point.

Is it car?

Is it a vault?  ;D

The statue of liberty?

Correct! Great job! Please PM me your address and I will send your winnings.

I will start another contest shortly.

<3 CGB contests!

Wow great guess! Congrats!

The second contest will involve Bitcointalk, Twitter, Facebook and Reddit. I have loaded a CGB wallet with 100 CGB. The balance can be checked and confirmed according to the address 5hDq6CmKzE6vGVwUyEGvxQvczMxqTPre6k (https://coinplorer.com/CGB/Addresses/5hDq6CmKzE6vGVwUyEGvxQvczMxqTPre6k). The private key associated with this address consists of 52 characters. I have broken this private key up into 8 sections; 4 consisting of 6 characters and 4 consisting of 7 characters (4*6) + (4*7) = 52 characters total. I will be posting these 8 segments of the private key via the afore mentioned social media outlets (2 segments per outlet). These 8 segments will need to be found and then assembled in the correct order. The first one to do this and redeem the funds wins. Make sure you follow this thread, subscribe to the CGB Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptogenicBullion/), follow the BULL on Twitter (https://twitter.com/CryptogenicBull) and like us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/CryptogenicBullion) so you can race the others in the community to retrieve and assemble this private key first!

To kick things off, here is 1 of the 8 segments to the private key: RaZ4bnj

Good luck!

Great work Paul! This will be a fun month! :)

A fragmented private key, cool! I think someone might make a program to find the right order ;) It would be earned!

Did you know CGB private keys begin with 'M'?

Mark Zuckerberg is calling...

...and wants to buy some CGB  ;D

3) Reddit :)

congratulations, that was really fast :D

Well done thokon00!!! That certainly was fast! Congrats!

I will be announcing the 3rd contest soon, stay tuned!


elambert, USA

Congrats man well done!

Just in case you wondered, there were 5040 possible combinations.  ;D

I patched the wallet to find the right one.

I wrote a Java key assembler - but my wallet PC let me down - took a fair few minutes to import the assembled private key by which time the coins had already gone  :'(

yes, it took quiet a while to import the new private key. Maybe CGB should switch to leveldb?  ???

I created a new rpc-command which assembled the key from the fragments, inserted the new key into the wallet and finally created a new transaction that transferred 100CGB (subracted network fees) to a new of-wallet address.

All in all, it was great fun!!

Thank to the CGB team for that great idea and the bounty  :)

Haha cool! Great work! I suspected someone would be able to zip it together with some code! Awesome!

We hope to be able to attract the talent required to put CGB back on the cutting edge client-wise. I feel that our best shot at doing so is simply to bring CGB to the front of the world stage as we develop the next movement to really push all cryptos, not only CGB, into real world use, through our ongoing development with the CryptoTown project. We have a lot of momentum built, it will be leveraged to this effect. Once the real community excitement arrives, we should be able to better attract such talent.

Contest #4!
This contest is aimed at spreading word of one of the major projects that CGB is currently partnered with, CryptoTown! This is an enormous project aimed at bridging the gap between cryptos and real world local users and merchants and is not nation, coin or person specific. This is for all coin communities! The CGB team has a series of numbers selected and will give away 10 CGB to the corresponding individual from each group of 10 to carry out the below assignment.

1. Favorite and retweet the 'Contest # 4 tweet'
2. Subscribes to this (http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoTown/comments/28m9vc/the_official_cryptotown_guide/) Reddit
3. Reply to the Reddit post with a verbal vote of support, your CGB address and sign with your user name and nation (ex: elambert, USA)

Lets get started!

I love seeing the country people are from, its such a cool idea  ;D

Development Workshop - CryptoTown On The Ground

CGB backs CryptoTown

The CGB Core Team and community believes that the CryptoTown On The Ground project is an amazing opportunity to take the cryptosphere to the next major phase beyond mining and speculation. At this time, there is little excuse left for why cryptocurrencies are not exploding into the mainstream of financial services. In order for CGB to thrive, we need an ecosystem, not just a coin. This is why CGB backs CryptoTown. For those browsing this thread looking for prizes, you just found one way to work for it! There is a reward detailed at the bottom of this post.


Please also see the Reddit post (http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoTown/comments/28qgtu/development_workshop_cryptotown_on_the_ground/) for further discussion.

This project is an open collaboration between all who wish to participate. In this spirit, we will maintain official development workshops to help capture lessons learned from experiences "on the ground."

This (http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoTown/comments/28qgtu/development_workshop_cryptotown_on_the_ground/) is a persistent post, it will be linked on the SideBar of the /r/CryptoTown (http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoTown) subReddit.

Anyone who wants to contribute an idea simply comments on the Reddit post (http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoTown/comments/28qgtu/development_workshop_cryptotown_on_the_ground/).

The main product of this discussion is The Official CryptoTown Guide (http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoTown/comments/28m9vc/the_official_cryptotown_guide/).

The project itself may also be discussed or developed here (Reddit post (http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoTown/comments/28qgtu/development_workshop_cryptotown_on_the_ground/)).

Bonus: I will be giving away a total of 100 CGB by the end of the month in tips at the development workshop to participants with the most insightful and constructive contributions to the project.

I'm here, guys. Just absolutely strapped to get the Directory in hand. It's been freezing cold; the Net has been playing up; but the value of a nation-based cryptomall is becoming clearer. I have at this point spoken to more Bitcoin businesses than anyone in Australia, I guess.

Hey I retweeted you with this quote here: Twitter link (https://twitter.com/CryptoTown/status/480845249850638336)


It hit exactly the 140 character limit that's why I had to paraphrase. Let me know if this should be changed and reupped, and great work (http://cryptomall.com.au/)!

Guys and gals, contest # 4 continues! All that have carried out the above tasks so far have been awarded prizes at r/CryptoTown! Please favorite and retweet this (https://twitter.com/CryptogenicBull/status/479933224311746560)! Lets bring as much attention as possible to the CryptoTown project, it is a game changer!

1 day!  ;D
