Title: Logo Battle Royal Round 2 (aka "I want to give away even more Bitcoins")
Post by: DeathAndTaxes on January 30, 2012, 05:23:31 PM
So since I got so much great feedback I decided to go for a round 2.

The question is simple "Which one is better?".  It is very subjective but that's what I want; your totally subjective unsupported first reaction.   There is no wrong answer.  

Logo "A"

Logo "B"

For wasting your valuable time (all 30 seconds or so) I will be giving away a genuine late vintage Bitcoin to a random person who replies to this thread.  That is like an hourly wage of 120 Bitcoins.  WOW.  

Yes you must reply.  I can't see who votes (stupid forum software limitation).  So no reply = no Bitcoin.

FAQ (Frequently Anticipated Questions)
What is the logo for?
BZZZT.  You lose.  First subjective reaction.  Stop thinking too hard.

Can I cheat and reply but not vote to get the coin?
Yup.  If you want to rob me of your free opinion you can and I won't try and stop you.

So if I spam this thread with a lot of replies I increase my chance of winning?
Nope.  Only the first response you make counts towards the drawing.

What if I don't have a good comment?
You don't need to.  "I voted, you better pay me!" is fine.

I am a noob how can I participate?
Sorry keeping up with the noob thread last time as a pain in the arse.  Good news is to be a non-noob (yes that is the unofficial name for Junior members) you just need 5 posts and 5 hours logged in.  So spam the hell out of the noob board and hit that refresh button (login timer stops after 10 min or so).  Come on man this is a whole Bitcoin, what are you waiting for?

Are you aware your water chip is going to malfunction because the water is flowing off the edge (aka logo B is broken)?
Yes.  I like malfunctioning imaginary water chips.

Rules for drawing (not important until you don't win).
1) I generated a random number between 0 & 1 (no not an integer silly).
2) I put it in a secret message and SHA-256 hashed the message (this provides proof I didn't game the drawing I mean we are talking about a WHOLE Bitcoin).
3) The hash is: AEF751403C2BE89C84DF75C0A1584471DC98EB6512805DA8EA26E82BAADE3D4A
4) When voting is closed the winning post # = ROUNDDOWN ( (total # of votes from the poll) * (secret number) )
5) I can't win and only the first post by a person counts.  If the winning post is invalid I go to the next post.
6) If by some bizarre circumstances I get to the last post (or the winning post > total # of posts) the counting loops around to first post.
7) Yes I actually spent time thinking of these rules.

Can someone quote the hash in first post (don't need the whole post just the hash).  That ensure I can't change it.

Quoted for truth.

Also, I believe the first logo looks much better. The entire concept is bizarre alone, but if you're going to go for it, I wouldn't choose the design that plays with your depth perception. Simplicity is crucial in a logo that will be reused over and over.

I vote A. However, if it is for an offset printing sort of look, B with no edge flaw would make more sense.

I vote B.  The light blue in A looks weird to me.

I vote A and you sir, go to great lengths to prove yourself a fair giver of free money.

Ok so voting is closed.  Less interest this time maybe everyone said what they needed to say last time.

I was leaning towards B.  I thought colorizing A would make it superior but I still keep going back to B.  Given it was popular in both polls too ... Tangible Cryptography LLC has a new logo.

So to the winnings:

Secret phrase:
Quote
The secret number is: 0.1235561   (This is some randomness to make brute force impossible 4934u13ioknsklud890urq89fhejkdash)

You can verify the hash from OP here:
http://hash.online-convert.com/sha256-generator

(0.1235561)*(13 votes) = 1.6 rounds down to 1.

Rattus wins.  Drop me a PM or post a payment address here for your 1 BTC.

I like 2 as well.  I think it's a combo of rich color and the "down" emboss.

I vote for logo A, B looks more of a dining table for 6.

Which way you vote didn't affect your chance of winning.  It was simply: (winner) = ("secret random number") * (the total # of votes).  You can verify the secret # wasn't changed after the fact because hash of it was provided.
