Coolest active vanity address contest. Winner gets .00055btc/ 20usd

[Jumperman4]

Subject is straight forward, person with the coolest activevanity address earns .00055btc to that address


Considering there was great confusion or suggestions to make this a better competition.

The winner will be chosen by the 15th of January. 3pm pst.

1. Must be a vanity address
2. Must be actively used , or currently holding btc since december 1st minimum.
3.  Must be your vanity address
4. 1 address can be submitted. If you submit more then 1 address you auto magically cannot win. Exceptions are made for anyone who's already submitted.

You must pay me .01 btc for the .00055btc.....thats a joke lol.

due to lack of engagement no one has won the bounty.

You will get better response with seriousness if you escrow the prize money and move it to the service section. I will recommend DarkStar_ or OgNasty as an escrow. They may consider no fee too. So, you will only lose the tx fees to send the prize money to the escrow.

Watching this topic. If you are able to get a good crowd then you may earn some merit too for this idea. Good luck.

I also recommend escrow.
And I recommend proper rules for this contest.

I mean for example, can I come and say that 1BestcHaNGExXQ5ZHoY1iTtNEoey8BF1kk is pretty cool and also active, although I am not the owner of that address?
Or can I come with a list of vanity addresses, mine and others'? How big that list can be?
Also I see no deadline for the entries.

All in all, I am not convinced that OP really wanted a proper contest. If he really wants that, he has to put more effort into the topic and into organizing it.

Try to have some rules to be followed like who will be the one to join because if most or all will join especially newbies (not that condemning them) maybe we could observe multiple accounts that may come in just for this 20 usd (not that surprising). Try to limit it I guess like merit received in the past 120 days or higher accounts that was active in the past 7 days, something like that, lastly, put it in an escrow better use lightning network so fee isn't that much. Likely this will be moved to Games and Rounds, just my two cents.

Guys this is giveaway for 20$ for cool vanity address... not proposition of a risky deal. What you have to lose? If you are already using cool vanity address post it here and maybe you will win. In the worst case scenario OP will leave without picking winner. I don't think that escrow for 20$ is something necessary in here. Its made for fun - at least that's how i see it.

OP said the payment would be to that address, so you can introduce other people's addresses if you find them cool and want THEM to win.

although the bigger issue here is that "coolest" is subjective so basically it is OP's opinion to choose one and pay it the reward.

Not sure if the coolest, but the story behind is interesting

Oh ... you are right.

Hall of fame for rare address:

Topic in which LoyceV and DarkStar_ are creating vanity addresses for free. If anyone wants to find cool address or have an idea for one.

Yep, I knew that and although I wrote "a list of vanity addresses, mine and others'" you're right: this may indeed need to be emphasized more. The owner of the vanity address will actually win that money.

for 20$

I think that the first faucets were giving out entire bitcoins at start. I mean, give it time and don't underestimate the current USD value, since we talk about Bitcoin here 
Now on-topic: indeed, 20$ should not need escrow. On the other hand, OP needs a way to show commitment, since he's rather new and not known... and it's not the only missing bit from a proper contest.

My coolest one is still 1NewbornSeatQVC9vegVHnxVseNAhhxewb (Balance: )

It's perfect for baby car seat manufacturer or Spanish automobile manufacturer and would take 27,000 years for 50% chance to find another one on my laptop.
I have no use for the address (other than showing off), and it's going to be a lot of work to dig up the private key again but I should still have it.

OP said the payment would be to that address, so you can introduce other people's addresses if you find them cool and want THEM to win.

Make sure there's an outgoing transaction or signed message, so it's not the 1CooLestBurnVanityAddressxy2ErRoS.

Since this is a giveaway, you should probably move (bottom-left) it to Games and rounds.

Not sure I'm comfortable giving away the bitcoin based of a comment. I'd rather see a legit active address that has a cool vanity and I will reward them.
