To celebrate Brie Host's launch and promote our service, we will be doing a bit of a promotional Giveaway, or is it a Contest? Either way, it's FREE and provably fair!
This promotion has been modified, anyone in the world can apply easily and is eligible, so long as participating in such a promotion is legal in your locality. Since the Block Erupter's main use is now a coffee warmer, I have changed the top prize to a month of KVM 2048. If you win first prize and really want the Erupter, I will honor the original prize (One Block Erupter and one month of KVM 2048 or KVM-EZ 2048).
Prizes:
1 - First Prize is a a free month of KVM 2048 or KVM-EZ 2048 hosting courtesy of Brie Host
2 - Second Prize is a free month of KVM 1024 or KVM-EZ 1024 hosting courtesy of Brie Host
3 - Third Prize is a free month of KVM 512 or KVM-EZ 512 hosting courtesy of Brie Host
Term of Promotion: Starting October 1st and ending October 15th at 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time. Winners will be announced within 3 days of promotion end.
To enter, simply visit The Giveaway Form and send a message using your name and email, you can write whatever you'd like in the body of the message. Those who sign up for an account will also be entered. No purchase required!
The winners will be determined using a provably fair method which will be outlined here. For each participant, we will take the first name, last name and A SECRET (MD5 Hash of the official secret, which will be used to determine a winner: dd07368455329a2dd42439476a282491).
These fields will be put into a string, consisting of the First Name, Last Name, then the SHARED SECRET. e.g. "Satoshi Nakamoto Bitcoin is Great" ('Bitcoin is Great' being the SECRET here) and hashed using MD5. For our dear friend Satoshi, the MD5 hash would be: e9d93c2b2fc7129c0c45f3aefc6f8ee4.
The prizes will be given in order of who has the lowest MD5 hash. To win first prize, our friend Satoshi would need to get the lowest number. For the purposes of this sweepstake / contest, we will consider 0 to be the lowest and z to be the highest, a being larger than 9. We will ignore capitalization in our determination of the lowest number.
Let's say Guy Fawkes is also playing. "Guy Fawkes Bitcoin is Great" yields an MD5 hash of: 2245cf9219887d090f3d36d24ef610f4
If Satoshi and Guy were the only two playing, it would be Mr. Fawkes who would win the first prize. Luckily Satoshi is a good sport!
