There are still a few days left, and I think they allow both crypto and fiat donations for the mic, so perhaps someone with fiat would be the winner...

The auction is over. And its winner was the Ukrainian cryptocurrency exchange WhiteBit.com, which, together with its community, transferred 900 thousand dollars in cryptocurrency and, accordingly, received a crystal statuette of Eurovision 2022...

The manufacturer of the Eurovision 2022 trophy, Kosta Boda company, having learned that Kalush Orchestra sold its trophy at a charitable auction, decided to make another one and hand it to the winner of the song contest. Already, some are suggesting that the new trophy may also be sold at a charity auction.

According to the organizers of the auction, the money raised will be used to purchase a complex of PD-2 unmanned aerial vehicles for the armed forces of Ukraine.

...The bio of Kalush has a link to addresses for taking part in this thing.

It's too early to summarize the results of the auction, but I looked at the address for collecting donations and saw there only one payment in the amount of 0.0084 Ether. Given the fact that the charity auction will be held on May 28 at 19:00, most of those who wish will not be informed about this auction in time.

There are still a few days left, and I think they allow both crypto and fiat donations for the mic, so perhaps someone with fiat would be the winner. There are two transactions so far, both quite small. I think it was their big mistake to make crypto donations in Ethereum, and not in Bitcoin. While Ethereum is #2, it is much less popular in Ukraine and probably in other countries as well. Just to give an example of the difference, a Ukrainian foundation that helps the army got 477 BTC of donations (currently almost 14 million dollars), but only 753 ETH (less than 1.4 million dollars).
Edit: I think they've changed the description from yesterday, actually, and now the mic is not for crypto donations, but for an NFT auction? Confusing and weird to make changes along the contest...

Hey, I just wanted to share something I saw today. As you probably know, Ukraine won the Eurovision this year. And you probably also know that Ukraine is quite crypto-friendly and has been increasingly so during the war. Today I saw this Instagram post by the winner of Eurovision Kalush that they're doing a charity auction to help the army. They're selling the pink hat to a random person who donated at least 5 EUR (so, it's a typical fiat thing) BUT the auction for the Eurovision mic is both in cryptos and in fiat, and whoever donates the most gets the mic. I don't know if any of you are interested to take part, but I thought it's an interesting contest to share, as it is yet another example of usage of cryptos, and a Eurovision mic is also an attractive prize. Unfortunately, I think that crypto donations are in ETH only, no BTC, which is why I'm putting it in the Altcoin section.
