It's been a really thought provoking and educational event for me, so thanks to @Halab and all the collaborators for an excellent contest.

Radiant dropped the ball in the 2nd part of the year, their yield curve turned actually negative (for max looping), they need to sort out their reward incentives, so they missed out on the bullish euphoria so far...

Ronin is a robust choice, gaming will be huge in web 3, and Solana made a great comeback after SBF got sentenced and depositors got a little consolation from due justice...

Just an honest suggestion for next year, I think it would make great sense if Halab secures all the funds in advance from the voluntary sponsors in the beginning, to avoid any unnecessary drama regarding the reward structure down the line.

All the Best

I can't believe it's been nearly a year since contest started, how time flies.

If Radiant dropped the ball, Safemoon became AFU with the team getting arrested over fraud. Guess I can kiss goodbye clinching the top 3, let alone top 10

It looks like they're blocking my scraper when I'm half way through. I don't have time to fix it right now.

Update: as a quick test, I've increased the delay between scraping from 6 to 16 seconds. That means the scraping time is going to vary a lot per altcoin. I'll see if this works tomorrow. I don't get it though: what's the point of an api if you don't even allow someone to scrape data with a whopping 6 seconds delay between downloads?

Update: The last update worked again (it just takes more than 40 minutes now). I've wiped 4 days with incomplete data, so the graph should be okay again tomorrow (with a 4 day hole, that is).

[Halab]

Thanks, it's working again. Even if it's not as precise, it gives an idea of the ranking. Even if it's very close for the podium and it could be decided by the photo finish.

1. xSkylarx: $5113.76

3. Vispilio: $3725.51
4. Yabes: $3720.69
5. slackovic: $3535.29

[LoyceV]

All right, then my script will run at Paris time midnight + 15 minutes just to be safe.

Can you make this +50 minutes, to account for the increased delay between scraping Coingecko?

Sure, just changed it to Paris time 00:50 now! Any other changes required or that's it?

[LoyceV]

That's it, thanks
Until the 2024 edition of course

The altcoin of 2023 is therefore Solana. Those who put this altcoin in their predictions get a $100 bonus : xSkylarx, Yabes, jokers10, Halab, slackovic
This year's big loser is SafeMoon. UserU is therefore penalized by $100.

Well done to xSkylarx, jokers10 and Yabes. I will contact you right away to ask for a BTC address.
Thank you all for your participation. And thanks to LoyceV and n0nce for their technical help despite Coingecko's little quirks.

I'm leaving 2-3 days before sending out the rewards so that everyone can check that everything is OK. Icopress and GrosWesh I will send you the addresses of the 3 winners ASAP so that you can send your share of the rewards.

[GrosWesh]

Icopress and GrosWesh I will send you the addresses of the 3 winners ASAP so that you can send your share of the rewards.

Ok let's do that, Halab ! Congratulations to the winners and happy new year to everyone reading ! Have fun in 2024  

Edit : i have to calcute the reward based on what i wrote last year now  Or maybe is it your job doing this, Halab ? Tell me

"I also wish to contribute to this contest by adding a side prize: I will send to the winner the sum in usdt equivalent on December 31, 2023 to: 100 $Cspr + 10 $Azero + 100$Cheqd + 50000 $Gigagswap: this represents today only a little less than 20 dollars but who knows what it will be worth in a year?"

Your money, your calculations .
But I'm calculating (taking the closing price at 31/12/2023) :

CHEQ : 100 * 0.063954 = 6.39
AZERO : 10 * 1.56 = 15.60
GIGA : 50 000 * 0.00001301 = 0.65
CSPR : 100 * 0,050162 = 5.01
Total : 27.65$

[GrosWesh]

Haha thank you !

Well i'd have expected much more  !

I'd prefer to send this little reward on eth (in eth, usdc or whatever) if winner does not mind.

[UserU]

Grats xSkylarx! I had hopes when I inched past the first half until one of the projects went tits up

Good luck to the 2024 participants!

[LoyceV]

Congrats to the winners! I stuck to my tradition of staying as close to $1000 as possible

Sure, just changed it to Paris time 00:50 now! Any other changes required or that's it?

I'll change this whole thing to 4 hours later, and only update on Sundays from now on. I'll keep it running for a few years, unless it stops working (again). I'm curious to look back at the results years from now.

Alright, so I'll set Paris time 04:15 for the 2023 scripts and keep them running if you think that's useful. Or I stop the chart so it only contains one full year and continue updating the participant portfolio list? Let me know what you think.

I'd say keep updates coming But make it 04:50, and Sundays only. Anyone who wants a copy of the current graph, has 4 days left to download it
