I think this is not a giveaway (a thing that is given free without doing some task), it's actually a contest because you have to answer the questions correctly and by playing the game to get some coins. If not, you get nothing. Contest like this is not prohibited on the forum.

Giveaways are not against the rules. Only promoting posts that contribute nothing (like just posting your address). If I asked people to post their wallet addresses to receive free coins, that would be against the rules. You may have as many giveaways as you want, as long as you don't clutter up the forum with useless posts. More importantly, if you get 0 answers correct you get nothing (except consolation prize for playing). lots of submissions already and boy do you guys suck! Keep em coming!!I'll try to get someone to start compiling a payout excel doc so we can start sending out some funds over the weekend.

Why you do not format available for Taxpayers? Very difficult to participate without knowing English!

If you would like to provide a translation for your language, please do and I will have it added to the main thread. Theres probably not much point in translating to languages other than Russian/Chinese/German/Italian though as there really aren't that many BTCtalk users of other languages.

Just to say that this quiz is a great initiative, I enjoyed researching the history of crypto from the questions Worth the time spent, even before any PMP I might get (hopefully close to 10 though:P)
