Bitcoin Forum

2015 is here, and we want to know how much YOU know about Bitcoin. Today, the 3rd of January marks the 5th birthday of Bitcoin. To celebrate, we are doing a huge giveaway to give thanks to the Bitcoin community, and to give an opportunity for some fun. Please read this thread carefully. Here are some things to know when participating:

• The contest starts at the time of this posting (approximately 6 AM GMT, the 3rd of January, 2015).
• The contest is scheduled to end on the 31st of January, 4 weeks from now.
• The contest consists of a "Q&A" style treasure-hunt. Each correct answer moves you onto the next level.
• The winners will be decided by the users that are at the top of the leaderboard at 12:00 GMT January 31st, 2015.
• Any cheating results in immediate disqualification, this includes sharing answers.
• The maximum number of levels to be included are 150. If the maximum level is reached legitimately before the end of the contest, the leaderboard will freeze and the winners will be paid. Levels are given 15 at a time.
• Your username on Bitcoin Yoga MUST be your exact Bitcointalk username. Prizes are claimed via bitcointalk.

More rules can be found here: http://www.bitcoinyo.ga/rules.php


Can't get by a question? Answers are available for 0.005 BTC each. To prevent users from getting to the top solely by buying answers, after 10 questions are bought, the price jumps to 0.008 BTC per answer. No more than 20 questions may be bought from a single user. PM me to buy an answer.

Unofficial prize ordering (approximate amounts, to be confirmed):

1st: 1 BTC
2nd: 0.75 BTC
3rd: 0.5 BTC
4th: 0.25 BTC
5th: 0.15 BTC
6th to 12th: 0.1 BTC

Some extra tips:

Be careful when giving out your trust, you can easily be used to get some quick easy answers.
Answers are designed to make you think outside the box.
If you're stuck on an answer, try another approach.

can you explain rules 1 & 2 ?

so we got to answer with lowercase,no spaces,and some grammar mistakes?

just tried it...
so difficult to answer...
I think the winner will only someone who buy the answer.

These quizzes have existed for a long time and are profitable ventures this is not a giveaway at all. Part of me even doubts the OP has 3BTC right now but it should certainly be escrowed.

i get to level 2~ !!!
really is a damn answer~~

Its so interesting giveaway, I will try it soon :D


Yes that's right.

can you give us some hints?

same question??

Are the questions somehow bitcoin related or general?  :)

very difficult question  ???
whether there is some clue ?

This all relates to bitcoin?

I see you rank 1 in the Leaderboard and
I think now you can sell your answer here
Great bro!

I didnt even pass level 1, lol.. I guess I need to pay to get the answers :)

Can anyone who passed at least 1st stage confirm? Would narrow down the guesses  :P

yes they are bitcoin related.. as far as im on, i cant be sure for other levels. im currently on level 4. -unibtc

Smells like the "Puzzle.me" scam :)
There is no way anyone will win this.
1) OP will give the answers to his/her friends who will suddenly "win" the quiz.
2) Selling answers - same as puzzle.me scam
3) No proof of funds.

If you are hoping to win anything from here you are a fool. This forum has already been tricked by the same scam once before, if you fall for it once more it is your own stupidity.

Yeah i agree... Op should at least escrow the funds first. That way more people would join in.  :)

Not taking sides tho, but there is no risk at all, for me its just a good way to waste my time, im at level 4 and did not bought any answers from OP. But then again, its also true that to gain more trust, you need to escrow the prizes.

There is a risk for people who buy the answers.  :-\
Therefore, OP should escrow to ensure he doesn't run away with the funds from people buying answers.  :)

Yes that's true, that's why im not gonna buy the answers lol unless OP escrowed the prizes. but for mean time, its a good time waster lol. Questions are interesting ( tho i don't see it as a question but merely a clue) Question on Level 4 made me dug up some interesting articles that i totally forgot to find the answer for it lol

I'm in too, First 3 questions was too easy ;D

Fourth is kinda hard.. its a popular clue, but can't seem to find the answer ???

answer is without spaces or not?? and 1st three questions have gramatical or spelling mistake or not??
all those who have answered please tell

Well, that depends on who you ask  :P

Let me give it a try,looks hard to win though.
Just signed up.

it sounds great, nice amount to win,
let us get a try to win some amount.

OP could you show me the funds for the giveaway ?

Wow this is hard, really hard.

Anyone want to "partner up"?

What is school name for, lol :D

Please escrow the funds. Or no one will be buying the answers.

Totally easy questions. Stuck on 9th.  ;D

wow how you do that ? i'm stuck on 4th

passed.
on 10th question answer is shown below the question. It is a bug. I got the answer anyway. It is kind of like identity verification. Not sure that is intentional. ? No problem with other questions.

All it needs is some luck and common knowledge.

Every questions only use 2 words
and the answer is very difficult to answer
i'm stuck on 4th  >:(

Any PMs I receive will be reported to OP.

Let me concentrate here. Q11 is really confusing...

Fucking level 4, and you're on 11 LOL. I might just have to be forced to buy it to get a head-start...

oke i hope you can find the answer :D

PM sent brother... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lol, was that intentional?  ;D

there is a kepo07 rapidly advancing...

and congrats to thos who solved 4. told ya, you don't need any help. You can do it. :D

whether to buy? do not understand the title of the celebration  :-X

I hope you realize theres a highly probable chance that the OP won't pay out anyone which is sad to say but probably true.

OP please escrow the funds, everyone thinks 99% you're not legit, hell this is your first post on the forum...

To everyone else PLEASE do not send the OP any money until he proves he has the 3 BTC he promises to giveaway (through an escrow holding said coins first).

Good luck guys but don't expect anything besides a nice challenge and bragging rights if you make the top of the leaderboard.

Completed 15 questions. :D

Didn't know all these knowledge would be useful ;)

Got no more questions (for now)

Can someone explain what this means exactly?

Is there 135 more questions that will come up later?

hahah it very hard to know the answer :D

is the answer always about bitcoin ?

I reached level 4 and I started to read the rules (Kinda backwards), and I realized my username had to be the same as my bitcointalk. So just wanted to let you know.

Yes, this is apparently a forum centered game.

Extract :

Stuck on level 4 too

The website is down or just me?

I can't open it either, tried different browser but it still didn't work out

Site is up for me, possibly a problem with my host while I was fast asleep.

Marcoser123321, yes that is fine but that is the last chance for anyone.

Man what the hell is big casino im stuck on level one. google just keeps giving me the song big casino. I still dont know is the answer have to always do with bitcoin like a bitcoin casino or something:(

What does it mean that a hint is hidden not only in line 3( whats that) but in code too(Javascript?)

Use your brain, that is the whole point. I won't give leads out for free, but honestly the question says it all.

Well i past it but the question doesnt say it all its not even a question!

Let me check it out. Been too busy lately. :D

Well, you got to see the 16th question. I am stuck there.

The next 15 set of questions seem to be up. :D
Not able to solve the first one yet.. :(

So far you done with 16 question that's good bro

maybe the next question will hard ???

Quiz is more challenging that I thought....

im really confused on what is that big casino? i dont know if its related to BTC or not  :D

EDIT: got it now haha

ohh damn ,, i didnt read the rule
my name different here and there :(
 

Maybe you must make a new account there with using different IP

We need to pay for the hint to a newbie with 3 post that even not escrow the prize money?

I joined just now. Even if there is no promise for price, its good to know more about Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency. ;D


I PM'ed him about this some days ago but didn't get any reply!

   ~~MZ~~

i am still stuck on 1st question
what the hell is this big casino  >:(

Sharing answers allowed? Just search on google, don't forget to add BTC when searching. ;)

   ~~MZ~~

This seems interesting enough will observe a while
Anyways no escrow and someone who answered all the questions I'm amused and 15 levels not bad
PD

Highest level in leaderboard is 17.

@OP : Can you sign a message with Bicoin address containing atleast 1 BTC? So, atleast user in top can get paid. :)

   ~~MZ~~

stuck on chowder -_-

anyone know it ?

Oh my ghost..
Stuck on 11th level
ugh,.....

I doubt OP have 3+BTC as he said before. He remain silent there. No reply when pm

stuck on first atm  >:(
is it the name of bitcoin atm manufacturer or the location?

edit - solved

wait so let me get this right, if im stuck on the clues, I can buy more clues by sending btc?

You don't buy clues, you buy the full answer and can move onto the next one.

so how many answers are there in total?

rules : 5. Stuck on a question? You can buy the answer on the forum for 0.005 each.
lol
i dont think can do it :D ,, would be very nice if result with own efforts :P

buy the answer?will never do it except OP show us the funds and escrow it.

OP never escrowed or give the prove own that btc so how?

This depends on how far people are getting through them. If they are getting stuck often, there are less questions. If getting through easy, vice versa.

Beware of the likely-scam website. Don't buy anything. He is watching the thread but not replying about money, escrow and all. You can play to increase your knowledge and skill. ;)

   ~~MZ~~

If the quiz loses interest it will be stopped and nobody will be paid.

Any hints for #4? I''ve been stuck there for a while   :P

Yes you can donate btc to the OP. Are you other OP account

stuck at #5  :-X
what a question , but at least i get more knowledge by googling the clue  ;D

How can you judge me like that.
please provide evidence before judge someone else.
