Welcome to the first edition of the Bitcointalk Pie Baking Contest!
Voting phase has started! Cast your vote here. In order to truly celebrate the upcoming Pie Day on 3/14, a small group of users
discussed that it would be fun to use the event to launch a contest within our community related with baking and posting delightful pies but with a small twist - Instead of the main star of the event being the famous Pie number, we would replace it with no other than Bitcoin itself.
Prize:There will be 3 places for winners - 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and the prize will be paid in
BTC. The way that the prize will be handed out is fairly simple -
1st place will earn 60 % of the available pot, 2nd place wins 30 % and 3rd place wins 10 %. Additionally, icopress has brought awesome news from
Betnomi - They will contribute with 1 custom wallet (Ledger Nano X) to the 1st place and thus officially sponsoring our event!
Everyone is free to contribute to the prize pool and, if you do choose to do that, I kindly ask you to post here in the thread the amount and I'll update the table below. At the end of the contest I'll make the math and post which amount should be sent to whom and by which user. Currently the prize pool holds the following funds:
Prize Pool:| ╔ | ══════════ | ╦ | ══════════ | ╗ |
| ║ | Username | ║ | Amount (BTC) | ║ |
| ╠ | ══════════ | ╬ | ══════════ | ╣ |
| ║ | RickDeckard | ║ | 0.0065 | ║ |
| ╠ | ══════════ | ╬ | ══════════ | ╣ |
| ║ | Daltonik | ║ | 0.003 | ║ |
| ║ | Total | ║ | 0.0145 | ║ |
| ╚ | ══════════ | ╩ | ══════════ | ╝ |
Sponsor goodie:Contest rules:- Pie must be made by yourself and the theme should be Bitcoin related (you could even include a homage to bitcointalk

Special thanks:[1]I don't have words for what @jayce did. I initially approached him to ask for a quote regarding making a signature related with this contest but not only did he promptly said he refused to take any payment but he also ended up making an outstanding signature in a short amount of time! I really can't thank him enough and I urge you to reach out for his services[2] and, if you're still in doubt, do check out his awesome work while you're on there. Once again, thank you so much jayce!
