How much Bitcoin will we win?
That is a great question buddy Cheesy It has been left for the Winner to reveal!

What I can say is that the Grand Prize is much more than the entry fee!  Cool There are also bonus rounds with chances for contestants to win other items, some rare! Shocked

Although, in this contest there are 3 wishes, which contestants can use to help solve the puzzle. Not that it would help solve the puzzle, but contestants could use one wish and vote to reveal the public address of the canvases, which would reveal the Grand Prize total  Cheesy The upside of doing this, besides learning the Grand Prize total, is that maybe some extra BTCits get added to the Grand Prize by anonymous onlookers?  Grin

Hey, it's a first of it's kind concept and contest, so don't think I'm not going to make it special! Cheesy

Currently there is a welcome raffle which is free for all contestants, almost full right here:

Few entry spots remain! Thanks again for your interest!  Cheesy

not gonna lie, i've been trying to figure mine out and am pretty stumped. Maybe it is easier than I am making it, or maybe it is harder, I have kinda given up as I have no idea what to do with what I have figured out thus far. Huh

Hey buddy  Cheesy this put a smile on my face. I wondered if you'd be working on trying to solve it before the CLUE is revealed and the contest officially starts  Grin

We've still got some canvases en-route and a few remaining entry spots available.

In the near future I will announce the date we will reveal the CLUE and officially kick the contest off!

Thanks again man, happy to have you in the contest! Cheesy

Hey buddy  Cheesy very happy to hear that Grin thanks once again and happy to have you in the contest!

I guarantee there will be some surprises and fun ahead when we kick this thing off. It's all about having fun with a new concept!



I'm actually surprised we don't have more OG member entries? Where's the guy who won my BIP38 contest? Cool

Huh. I guess I misunderstood. I was under the impression that it could be solved with one canvas print alone and no clues, other pics, or other canvases. I thought it started when I purchased mine? I will continue to try to solve it, but historically I'm not great at this type of thing, just glad to have the canvas anyway.

Hey Geo  Cheesy you are correct buddy, you only need (1) Entry / Limited Edition Canvas to win, however, I will reveal one CLUE to help solve the puzzle when we kick the contest off. More info is available in the official contest thread also (link in OP) Cheesy

Cool idea.  Always nice to see something new and well thought out.  Good luck to everyone with the contest!  I'll definitely have to check back and see how it plays out once a winner is announced.  Hopefully this goes well and inspires others to do cool things like this as well.  Smiley

Hey OG Cheesy Thank you for the kind words, Sir! I greatly appreciate the compliment!

I really am proud of the concept and would love to see other makers enter this new genre of loaded crypto collectibles with their own unique releases. I definitely have plans to try some cool stuff I've thought about making with the concept! Grin

The contest is definitely well thought out and planned Cheesy, what I'm lacking is marketing skills i guess! Huh

I thought for sure a 21 piece limited edition "first of its kind loaded canvas" would be an easy sell out, turns out the "CONTEST" part may be the best deterrent for making that not happen LOL, as I suspect with everything we all have going on IRL some people feel they don't have the time. Maybe I'm wrong? Would appreciate any insight guys!

In any case, I am eternally grateful for all the support I've received on this project, I honestly can't thank you all enough everyone! Cheesy

We have a few entry spots still available! Thanks again! Cheesy

Hey guys if you're only in it for one of the 1 of 21 limited edition pieces, the good news is I can't "make" you try to solve the puzzle!  Grin


This is last call to get in on the Casascius KEEP CALM and HODL prototype welcome raffle for contestants only.

I'll be rolling that bad boy tomorrow, so if you want in on this contest and a chance to win the prototype CAS canvas, let me know!  Thanks! Cheesy
