1st half winner = explorer ; Patriots: 12 Eagles: 22
2nd half winner = explorer ; Patriots: 33 Eagles: 41

Hey-ya guys, after having a pretty good turn out in this years first Monero fantasy football league and last years "Monero Madness"; I just wanted to post this up here and see how much interest I could get into trying to get a Super Bowl Pool going between some fellow friends in (or who would like to join) the Monero community. There will be more information to come, but generally the idea is this:

Here's how to play:

There are 100 "squares" and people can buy up as many squares as they want. What each square should be worth is still to be determined and I will be up for any recommendations. The X-axis, in green, will be designated to the Eagles and the Y-axis, in blue, will be designated to the Patriots. When you declare you want to purchase some squares, make sure you declare what square(s) you want in coordinate form (X, Y).

After all 100 squares are all bought up, we will calculate who gets what square based off block hashes after the deadline, February 4th @ 8 AM EST.

Official Countdown Timer

After we calculate squares for all the participants across the X and Y axis by using the hashes of blocks, you will be rooting for each team's last digit of their score to match up to your square.

For instance:

Say you bought 1 square and and your square lines up with a 4 and a 7. If, by chance, it was your lucky day and the score ends up being

Eagles: 24
Patriots: 7

You would win.

How we conclude who gets what square

On the thread I had on /r/Monero trying to get people to play, someone came up with a really good idea in order to randomly generate square spots. I'm still open to doing something else or doing things like I initially proposed if it seems better, but I suggest everyone to read this reply I got in terms of assigning people squares.

(roughly quoted here)

Quote

Each block has a hash value that is (ostensibly) different, correct?

Its a hex value, so you would just take the last 4 of the block hash value.

So you have a list from 1-100 that looks like

   Steve H - 1
   Steve H - 2
   Ryan R - 1
   Ryan R - 2
   Ryan R - 3
   Jenny O - 1

and so on until it fills up the 100 slots. Those are listed in the order in which they reserve a spot, or make a payment and submit proof of payment.

Then, You take the hash value of the block from a starting point (any starting point) and pick off the last four.

So lets say you started with Block Number 1494281

You have the following hashes:
Block    Hash    Last 4
1494281    fc34be5df26d2e16b48a36a08610d954ad1a6dc47d0a5f7f6eec26ea52375d6a    5d6a
1494282    8c828f32d546be4a2e6338c872e7da06bf570a849eb49c240a030b464b7b120a    120a
1494283    11741a4c52d6d47cb8ead385a98666973feb3c14e6ea9db61180eae9baebe75b    e75b
1494284    15fa9ef91d900bc63269be01b92bbd3cc35c357dcc9847ce85ba66bd176fa83c    a83c
1494285    50cc89198976f7c9a909926fbfb99959368fe7e66dc45e9d0bccbd5bc88163e2    63e2
1494286    fb669cadc01ddfad8e2dda62572930f42b997982d351c55ffc67da5e4b811f06    1f06

Those get assigned to the list of square owners.
Square Owner    Last 4
Steve H - 1    5d6a
Steve H - 2    120a
Ryan R - 1    e75b
Ryan R - 2    a83c
Ryan R - 3    63e2
Jenny O - 1    1f06

Sort those in ascending (or descending) and you would get this:
Square Owner    Last 4    Rank
Steve H - 1    5d6a    3
Steve H - 2    120a    1
Ryan R - 1    e75b    6
Ryan R - 2    a83c    5
Ryan R - 3    63e2    4
Jenny O - 1    1f06    2

Rank is equal to squares on your grid, so your layout would look like
Square Owner    Last 4    Rank (Square #)
Steve H - 2    120a    1
Jenny O - 1    1f06    2
Steve H - 1    5d6a    3
Ryan R - 3    63e2    4
Ryan R - 2    a83c    5
Ryan R - 1    e75b    6

How to enter:

We will have to find someone to escrow... I'm all up for using Jwinterm again, but if someone else has a better idea let everyone know here in this thread.

You can verify that you have paid by using https://xmrchain.net/

For example (using the link above), here is mine:

1. Enter in the Transaction Hash:

Code:

d7d8d4e4359a8782ebfd721d00e179a5926f2d1544dd8117c329e6cc1efd6477

... then click 'Search'.

- You can see that something was in fact sent there, but you can't see where too or how much (thanks Monero!). So in order to verify I didn't short change the wallet, scroll down to 'Decode outputs'.

2. Enter in the Private View Key:

Code:
