Once again, I want to thank both of you for the opportunity. I learnt something new during the contest. Thanks a lot.

For any creative idea, you will find me always in your side with some donations if necessary. Feel free if you even need to discuss anything in PM about anything. I am very welcoming and friendly next door neighbor :-D

Much appreciated. =)
I'm always open to new ideas like micgoossens did in his recent discussion about his giveaway standards. 

Regarding Phil_S: if he doesn't respond here this weekend I'll just shoot him a PM.

I'm doing a new giveaway but it's only a simple one: 1miau 2nd anniversary giveaway [2 mBTC]

Rules (Please read! If you are caught not reading the rules, I reserve the right to reject you):

• Each user can submit 1 number between 0 and 99. Watch out, which numbers are already taken.
• No random spots!
• You are not allowed to edit your post later. Once on the list, your number is set, so choose carefully!
• To prevent cheating, your account needs to have at least 10 earned Merit, airdropped Merit doesn’t count.
• Don’t have valid negative trust from DT on your account (negative trust: more negative feedback than positive feedback).
• One account per person, please be honest. If someone uses multiple accounts to abuse my giveaway and I catch you, you and your alts will get negative trust.
• We will roll when every spot is taken and I announce it.

Reward:

2 mBTC


How to choose a winner:

Relevant are the last two numbers of the Bitcoin block hash, which will be announced before we roll, for example:

I’ve announced to roll with block 603028 (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/block/603028)

Result:

https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/block/00000000000000000007872abcd785f515daecfb9c1206b7ea9e87fa51b0afec

Winner: 10

24 spots left, be fast!

Sorry for this slight "Frankenstein" revival but I've got to say that this was an incredible idea for a contest. I'm not even talking about the prize money, I'm more talking about the idea - one really needs to understand how mining works in order to give an assertive / sustained guess - and the whole community reaction that was driven to it and how helpful the posts ended up being (particularly the ones that explained why they thought that X block will be mined.). It was also really awesome seeing the last threads where users were carefully watching blocks being mined and their guesses being somewhat ... surpassed.

Congratulations on this one 1miau! Do you plan on doing some more of these "giveaways" in the future? I've been thinking in other topics that could be covered but so far I haven't come up with anything as insightful as yours. What do you think of "increasing" the scale of another contest such this one but this time also include local boards?

Hi!

Sorry for my late reply, I didn't follow my topic here, so your very nice reply went unnoticed. 

I'm currently planning a new one, but posted on our local (German) board. That's why I came back to this topic and saw your reply.
I can also launch a new giveaway here, again in Beginners and Help as it's very useful and we have some Newbies here.
For new ideas, please let me know if there should be changes, how long our giveaway should be running (right now, still plenty time is left).

So yes, I'm open for a new round.
