Title: My first contest : win a hardware wallet, a steelwallet and satoshis !
Post by: Becassine on April 11, 2023, 01:47:36 PM
Hello,

After so many years on this forum trying to understand sometimes complicated threads, but explained with so much kindness, I'm super happy to be able to propose a contest : I'm lucky to have a quality sponsor with the swiss company Shiftcrypto which offers two prizes : a bitbox02 (1st prize) and a Steelwallet (2nd prize). Since I'm shamelessly copying some of the rules of the pie contest (with the kind permission of RickDeckard), I'll add satoshis according to (almost) the same rules.

There will be 3 spots for the winners. In addition to the great prizes reserved for the top two thanks to our sponsor, a prize pool of satoshis will reward the top 3. The way the prizes will be distributed is pretty simple - first place will win 50% of the available prize pool, second place will win 30% and third place will win 20%. If I am the only one contributing, the satoshis will go to 3rd place.
Everyone is free to contribute to the pot, and if you choose to do so, I kindly ask you to post the amount here in the thread and I will update the table below. At the end of the contest, I'll do the math (with help because I suck at math) and indicate how much should be sent to whom and by which user.

Once again, Jayce (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142066) volunteered to help create the signatures and even refused to let me replace the 3rd prize with a contribution for his work...
He had already done some great signatures for the pie contest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5439781.0), so of course I wanted to ask him... (or her ?)

And the code for the beautiful signature made by Jayce :

Full Members (and more) who have acquired a minimum of 10 merits in the last 3 months for their brilliant participation in the forum.

Signature of the contest:

So this is jayce who so kindly volunteered to make a signature. Feel free to share the contest in the locals.

Rules:

Shiftcrypto gave me carte blanche to come up with the rules for the contest, which are as follows:

The goal of the game is to give the bitcoin rate in Swiss francs on Bitcoin Pizza Day on May 22.

The bitcoin rate on that day will be the one from Coinmarketcap: since there is a low and a high rate, the participant who gets closest to the high rate will be the winner and the highest decimal place will win. In the event of a tie, the first participant to post its estimate will win.
You have until May 6 (Paris time) to vote, until then you can edit your posts, after that it will not be possible anymore.

Details about rules :

Vote

You can vote until May 6th, Paris time, 23:59:59. Paris time : https://time.is/fr/Paris

Shipping

Shiftcrypto takes care of the worldwide shipping costs (isn't that great?). I think the winners will receive a password from me (I haven't thought of it yet, a sentence in French?) and the contact information of Shiftcrypto. They will then give their delivery address directly to Shiftcrypto. (Or we will find another solution.)

Currency

The price of bitcoin on Bitcoin Pizza day will be given in Swiss Francs. If all the Fiat currencies disappear by then, well, we'll see. Maybe we'll draw straws.

Multi Accounts

Be nice and fair play, play with only one account.

Errors

I count on the participants to help me to choose the winners because nobody is safe from making a mistake. (To divide the prices in satoshis too)

Jayce

Finally I cracked, I also made a pot for Jayce. It's normal, right?

If my fierce gastronomic competitor wins first prize, he should come bring me a pie

Hey Becassine, thank you for this nice contest! And the prizes are, indeed, amazing  ::)

I feel more than honored to be the first participant and my initial prediction is a price of 41000 Swiss francs! (Yes, I feel bullish :))

I congratulate you for organizing your first contest on the forum and I simply have no words for the prizes you obtained for winners! Chapeau for that!

Edit: my updated prediction is 30000 CHF.

Thank you Gazeta, what a pleasure to see you here, my fierce gastronomic competitor  ;D

You can't imagine the time I spent writing the initial post  :P

PS : You can change your estimate until May 7, maybe bitcoin will explode the forecast?

Thank you Gazeta, what a pleasure to see you here, my fierce gastronomic competitor  ;D

Awwww, I'll take that as a compliment, of course  ::) (And now I'm blushing too!)

You can't imagine the time I spent writing the initial post  :P

Actually I do imagine! I noticed that it is a very nice organized topic and I understood from first sight that you made some effort for writing it. I, myself, spend also a lot of time when I am writing my topics (and my posts as well), paying a lot of attention to proofreading, punctuation, reading and re-reading (at least) 2 times prior submitting the post -- so yes, I really understand your efforts! And I congratulate you for the way you wrote the topic.

PS : You can change your estimate until May 7, maybe bitcoin will explode the forecast?

Thank you, I noticed that rule! We all hope that we'll assist to a booming price of BTC, especially considering that we are getting closer and closer to another halving (and signs are already here). And, of course, I will take advantage of the rule on May 7th.

I actually have a question here: what does the rule precisely mean?

You have until May 7 (Paris time) to vote, until then you can edit your posts, after that it will not be possible anymore.

Does it mean that voting and editing prediction is allowed until May 7th, Paris time, 23:59:59? Or does it actually mean "until May 7", as in the sense of before May 7, which would imply, in fact, May 6th, Paris time, 23:59:59?

And one more question, this time about shipping of prizes: what method will you use? Will it be free worldwide? Will the winners have to pay for it? Will you use another forum member to do the shipping (for example, in Collectibles board, many contest organizers prefer to give their prizes to MJ for shipping them -- at least, those outside US). Maybe this information would be also considered useful by participants.

P.S.: I may (or may not) come back with a nice surprise.

P.S.2:I advertised your contest (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5361051.msg62075675#msg62075675) in Romanian local board.

Your fierce gastronomic competitor,
Gazeta.

(P.S.3: obviously, if we'd ever have a battle, in real life, inside a kitchen (any kitchen), on anything, I would certainly lose in front of you  :D)

Nice idea Becassine, and great job organizing such nice prizes!

I predict the high on 2023/5/22 will be 1 BTC = 34360 CHF. (I asked my Norwegian Blue (https://youtu.be/vnciwwsvNcc). I think I heard a low squawk when I whispered: "34360?", so that's what I'm going with.)

I'll contribute 2 mBTC to the prize pool. Good luck everyone! :)

Ouahhhh great thank you ! I change the rules again (for the last time !), if you agree, we could part your generous donation in 2 : a part for the third price and a part for Jayce.

I'm really sorry but you can't participate, players must have a certain rank in order to avoid people registering at the last moment and leaving just as quickly and bringing nothing to the forum. I hope I can organize other contests so you can participate next time. I give you a merit to encourage you to continue to participate in the forum  ;)

Hey there Becassine!
This is very nice initiative with running this giveaway for BotBox02 hardware wallet and Steel wallet.
Since you are in contact with BitBox team maybe you can invite them to join Bitcointalk forum and create official account here.
We already have Passport HW doing that, and before that Trezor, Keystone and few other hardware wallets joined bitcointalk forum.

You are right. I couldn't find a Bitbox account on this forum. I will send the staff an invitation. Maybe the staff is just watching ?

Thank you
It's okay not to be able to compete and the reason is understandable, however I leave my contribution.
Maybe make me a little more visible.
I wish everyone luck, and the winner could share some price prediction tips.
We could even talk about the new maximo (ath) ahahahah (I already calculated it, another thing is that it is true)
A hug!

No need to split it up; I've noticed that jayce always does a really great job and is very generous with his time, so I'm happy to contribute an extra 1 mBTC to the "jayce appreciation" side pot. ;)

Thank you for updating the rules, Becassine, for explaining precisely until when voting / editing votes can be done and also for informing us about the free shipping! Now everything is clear.
I am also very glad knowing that jayce will get a slice of a pie some money for his contribution :)

However, regarding that,

If my fierce gastronomic competitor wins first prize, he should come bring me a pie

I think you made a slight error: you wrote the above rule with strikethrough font instead of bold :) It was supposed to look like this:

If my fierce gastronomic competitor wins first prize, he should come bring me a pie

Hello,

Even though this is a serious contest with very serious prizes, you understand that humor is serious too.

I must say that Jayce insisted once again that he don't want to be paid for his beautiful work: I had to reassure him that Bitcoin is not a currency according to Madame Lagarde. It's just "funny business". And that's what we want: fun.  :)

English is not my mother tongue, so excuse me if I make mistakes.

Thanks GazetaBitcoin. Though I really don't mind to get a slice of pie instead, from each of 37 participants in the previous contest. That's something I absolutely can't reject https://i.imgur.com/JapEzYi.png https://i.imgur.com/L73COsF.png

We will see if we can count on the French community as well. It's true that at the moment they are very busy: there is a think tank trying to turn a minitel into a cold wallet. The debate is raging and the tricks are numerous. But the minitel is still quite impractical for transportation.  :P

(sorry for not having btc skills, I like to make stupid jokes)


PS : You can see how you can play with a minitel : https://www.instructables.com/Old-School-Minitel-Laptop/ or https://chapelierfou.org/blog/a-high-tech-minitel.html

Hello,

Of course there is still time for predictions (that are editable till 6 may), but since I've never done excel charts or graphs, I'm starting to practice because I want to be a little self-sufficient. Here is my first chart. I haven't managed to put Bitcoin under his column yet but maybe it will come?

Thank you for organizing this! I'll participate in a few days, for sure. (yeah, I have a weird relationship with deadlines)

The signature is amazing! I'll put it in a few days as well.

It's true that at the moment they are very busy: there is a think tank trying to turn a minitel into a cold wallet. The debate is raging and the tricks are numerous. But the minitel is still quite impractical for transportation.
Joke aside, you got me wondering if it's actually doable. I'm too young to be familiar with these devices, but the way I understand it is that it only has the minimum electronics to receive and send text from/to the phone line, and no actual processing power. Idk, there might be some hackers here who know more about it.

The signature is amazing! I'll put it in a few days as well.



You'd better, young Padawan, or I'll be forced to give you a red trust (if I can)  ;D

It's true that at the moment they are very busy: there is a think tank trying to turn a minitel into a cold wallet. The debate is raging and the tricks are numerous. But the minitel is still quite impractical for transportation.

Yeah I'd be super curious to know more about that too haha!
I know my dad still has a couple of minitels lying around his house, I'd love to go get them and make some cold wallets out of them. Could be really funny!

I'm not sure if it's possible unfortunately, even if some guys managed to run Doom on it (on the other hand Doom is not a reference, I think it must run on a Casio calculator we had at school)  ;D

I'll ask a colleague who is a fan of oldschool electronics, I'm afraid of the disappointment that awaits us  :( ;D

Good job, Porf, with that thorough translation :) It seems that Becassine still did not change the strikethrough font of that rule with a bold font, thus inside the translation the rule appears also with strikethrough. But just for the record, maybe until the end of the contest the update will be made =)))

Can I participate in your competition for this hardware wallet, but if I by some miracle I win this device I can choose someone else who can receive it as a gift from me?

First of all, a big thank you for the raffle both to OP and the sponsors. I hope I'll see more of there around here.

Now, since I fear I may forget about this if I leave it for too late, I'll do that now.
I have big dreams for May, hence my prediction is: 38171 CHF.

It's more realistic prediction based on possible upcoming news regarding Bitcoin.
I could always say 1 million chf or something like that if I want to be 100% wrong, so this way I still have slight chance  to actually win something  ;)

The 1st wins 0.00115 BTC, the 2nd 0.00069 BTC and the 3rd 0.00046 BTC.

Does everyone agree, I haven't forgotten anything?

I will pay the 3rd and PowerGlove, our generous donor will take care of the first two.

For the shipping of the items, please tell me how you want to do it.

According to my calculations here is the list of winners
Are you kidding me... I actually won something and that is first prize?! Better double check that again sir Becassine.
Who is pessimist now?  ;)

The 1st wins 0.00115 sats, the 2nd 0.00069 sats and the 3rd 0.00046 sats.

Does everyone agree, I haven't forgotten anything?
Wait a minute, is that sats or bitcoin value?
Can you please add current CHF or USD value for clarification?
1 BTC = 100,000,000 sat
1 sat = 0.00024279 CHF

For the shipping of the items, please tell me how you want to do it.
I will send you shipping details once I found someone who actually want's to use hardware wallet.
This is perfect time for someone to replace ledger wallet for BitBox02, I think this is better device and it's open source.

I want to say thank you Becassine for doing this contest.

Please I suck at math... I took the prizes awarded by myself and PowerGlove (in addition to the Shiftcrypto prizes) and did 50% for 1st, 30% for 2nd and 20% for 3rd.

Maybe I made a mistake in my calculations?

For shipping, it is possible to get the contact of Shiftcrypto directly.

You skipped the match class at school?  :D

I don't know, because I didn't check anything you did, only thing that was strange to me is UNITS you used, that is SATS.
I hope you understand how small is that, it's impossible to send that low amounts so it was funny to me.

0.00115 sats = 0 CHF
0.00069 sats = 0 CHF
0.00046 sats = 0 CHF

Here are most used bitcoin units and convereter:

I think this should be written BTC units instead of sats units.

Cool.
Please give me some time to organize something and I will contact you.

Congrats to the winners! Looks like my own prediction was way too bullish. :D

@dkbit98, @Haunebu and @jayce: Please post your BTC address in this thread and I'll double-check Becassine's numbers and then send everyone their sats. ;)

(You can PM me the address, if you prefer, but I'm going to post the transaction here after I've sent it, so there's not much privacy to be gained that way.)

The 1st wins 0.00115 BTC, the 2nd 0.00069 BTC and the 3rd 0.00046 BTC.

Does everyone agree, I haven't forgotten anything?

I will pay the 3rd and PowerGlove, our generous donor will take care of the first two.

For the shipping of the items, please tell me how you want to do it.

Not a big deal and naybe I made my calculations wrong ( sorry in advance if it's the case). As far as I can see, assuming correct BTC price was 24275.28, my prediction

hopenotlate 23,232,32 CHF

was lower respect to target price by 1042.96 CHF meanwhile Ajiz138's one (25359) was higher by 1083, so it seems to me I was closer than him.

But maybe am missing something.

Looking forward to supporting future contests and if anyone has questions about the BitBox02 just let me know :)
Welcome to Bitcointalk forum and thank you for sponsoring this giveaway!
My suggestion is for BitBox team to create official dedicated topic in Hardware Wallet section, fo answering all the questions and posting updates.
This is what other hardware wallet manufacturers are doing, like Passport, Coldcard, Satochip, with few others (Keystone, Trezor in past.=
Here is link for Hardware Wallet section:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=261.0

Please post your BTC address in this thread and I'll double-check Becassine's numbers and then send everyone their sats. ;)
Thank you.
Here is my public BTC address:

Woke up to this neat surprise. Feels great to be one of the winners in this entertaining contest. If possible, I would like the money equivalent of the Steelwallet since I already own a Ledger Nano S. Thank you team!

First of all I would like to congratulate the winners and thank to Becassine for this very nice contest! It was really great and the prizes were amazing!



It must be fair for everyone. I'm sorry for the change of the deadline, I was surprised with the proposition od Gazeta and I tought we had time till 22 of may, maybe I should have listen to Halab  :P (never change the rules ...).

Second of all, I would also like to apologize for changing my prediction after the initial deadline and for placing Becassine in a delicate situation. I could not say this before the topic was unlocked and I barely waited to have the chance to say these words.

I was certain, in the moment when I updated my prediction, that it was the last day of the initial deadline. I was not aware that the deadline was already passed. I never broke any rules of any contest and it's not part of my behavior to do something like this.

I appreciate that Becassine allowed me to change my prediction, but I only realized only after her next posts that I posted the new prediction after the initial deadline. And I felt very bad about that. I also thank to the others which accepted to add one more day for updating predictions, if anybody else wanted (after all, it was a good move for dkbit98  :D). However, I felt bad about that and my conscience was not relieved until I made this post. So I apologize once more.

Halab was right -- rules should never be changed. And, if I were in Becassine's place, then I would have never agreed to change the rules. However, she was very nice and flexible and the other participants shared the same feeling so I thank you all.

My allocation of the prize pool has been sent (c643e700a0366a2955702321bdf36d1f76de699b8771f50993197e95e38ff4a9 (https://mempool.space/tx/c643e700a0366a2955702321bdf36d1f76de699b8771f50993197e95e38ff4a9)).

With the way Becassine divided up the responsibility (i.e. me taking care of 1st and 2nd, and her taking care of 3rd) I still had 0.16 mBTC to spend (compared to what I pledged) so I put the excess in dkbit98's prize. ;)

Congrats again to the winners, thanks to jayce for contributing the cool signature, and well done to Becassine for organizing her first contest so well! :)

Congrats to the winners, it's an amazing contest and Becassine does a great job.

@hopenotlate don't worry, if you are the closest then Becassine will choose you not me, because the 3rd prize will be made by Becassine there is still time for you to win 3rd place. ;)

I'm so sorry. I was happy to have organized this contest and I screwed up. I've been trying to figure out how to be fair for a week. I want to take responsibility for my mistakes but I don't know how. I want to compensate the winners but I don't know what's fair. Please tell me how I can solve this problem because I'm lost.

Don't worry Becassine, you did great with this contest and I think the whole community with agree with me about that.

I can propose you the following thing : you send the 3rd prize of 0.00046 BTC to hopenotlate . I will send a compensation prize to ajiz138 if he agree to provide a wallet address. I was going to organize another BTC Giveaway anyway, but I agree to send it to him ; so there's no false joy and nobody feels cheated. So what do you think?

Relax man, everything it's ok.

I just wanted to point out I came third out of pride and to tell straight in his face to ajiz138 ( joking bud)  he is a loser to me ;D ;D
 
No need to send me anything , I was hoping for the hardware wallet but the fun was worth it.

PEACE AND HODL

I'll be doing the transaction within the week, I'm just waiting for confirmation that Becassine agrees and to know what she wants to do on her side.

Becassine, are you ok to proceed as mentioned in my previous message, is that all good with you?

I want to give a big shout out to Becassine, they sent me 0.0007 BTC : way more than the third prize I had won.

I told them it was not necessary sending anything and that everything was ok , mistakes can happens and no one was hurted but they insisted in apologizing and being willing to send.

They have shown how much they care about this forum and about doing the right thing.

My sole aim is to keep everyone happy, just like at l'école des fans (old Frenchies will understand, in that old-fashioned contest, everyone was a winner).

I think everyone is now satisfied  :D

Dear gamers, Shiftcrypto is offering a new giveaway: a beautiful bitbox. All you have to do is carefully fill in a survey and then I'll think about how to proceed with the draw. If you have any ideas for the draw, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks

Very cool to know that a second contest is gonna happen  :D

Will we have to try to guess the Bitcoin's rate or will you just do a list of participants and select the winner via a hash of a BTC block ?

Bitbox must be falling for your charm, and they are getting very generous to us, thanks to you ;)

I would suggest not complicating things a lot with different rules, just make sure that all members are active members of bitcointalk forum.
In my opinion it's better to avoid Bitcoin price prediction this time, but make a random giveaway draw based on order how they submitted the survey.

It's perfect because I love Bitbox too (too bad I don't have much to let it protect  :P)

I try to reach BTCwine but didn't have any answer ... nada, nothing, rien du tout. (I mean for a BTC wine botlles contest)

Like for my first contest, my wonderful sponsor Shiftcrypto let me make the rules, except for the survey which you must please fill carefully and conscientiously because our sponsor is expecting important answers. i trust you  ;)

I don't have access to this survey and there is no need for an e-mail.
