Equus 0.06 btc paid (on 2013 10 29), added now. I'll keep a better eye on the blockchain from now on.

Nice choices, makes it more interesting, good luck!

I think that you guys are all agreed that this was the winning entry, I haven't had a chance to check the numbers so I will just pay the full balance in https://blockchain.info/address/1ThousandAF3VeVnQtteX6htvjZoREs35 as planned, which is 5.41 BTC which even with the dip is $4,600 worth. If there are any discrepancies with the amount in the address then please to let me know & I'll rectify it.

Equus, if you're feeling charitable & generous with your new found coins, then any donation however small to my charity fund is always most appreciated, more details here:

Hi Otoh,

I think I have already said over and over again how shocked I was to see this contest end in November.  I thought my Christmas 2013 guess was wildly optimistic.   It is impossible to overestimate what can happen to the price of bitcoin.

Thank you once more for running this contest.

For those who are interested, I expect that most of this money will eventually be used to pay off my very modest student loan and to pay for my daughter's future tuition.  If I find a more photogenic use, I will try to post it here.

Please believe me when I say that I am way more excited about this than I seem in print.  I am not very good a putting emotions into text form.      



Book keeping:

Please send the prize to:  1CKwgmuApW8nSt4FQzrfduvxbc6k7S1uzj

I have agreed to pass 0.5 bitcoins along to dipsy, although that number seems higher today for some reason than it did when I made the promise.  Dipsy, if the address you gave me is no longer valid please let me know asap.

I expect to make a small contribution to Hannah's fund, but I need to discuss it with my family first.  Perhaps you could send me a PM with a thumbnail sketch of what the fund is for.  I am reading between the lines on the site, but it isn't very clear to me.  It looks like any contribution I could make would be pretty small compared to the fund's litecoin holdings.

Prize sent! https://blockchain.info/tx/78f4158e065cb5450762f8533a6dfcbb2c611f7ec74f5f32eccf8fe88d30d51c

Again my apologies for the delay, the Hannah fund I set up to hopefully pay the college fees of a good friend's kid, she lost her dad in a tragic accident a couple of years ago & there wasn't really any/much compensation or insurance. I ended up being the main contributor to it and as I was an early backer of Litecoin especially it has done quite well so far, but every donation to it is both important & very good karma imo, also much appreciated as well of course.

[Equus]

Received and sorted.  Thanks again.
