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.

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 Dipsy, if the address you gave me is no longer valid please let me know asap.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.
