Too late, the contest is over, 447351 was the winning number and the prize was already paid out.

Fight fight!

Hehe, well most of you figured out this was more of a "who will be online at the right time and get lucky" kind of contest.  Poorly thought out on my part really, my apologies.  Another issue here is that technically we will never know the winner!   There is still a chance of a long chain reorganization to another branch in which the winning block is a different one.  OK, so the chances of that grow exponentially smaller with every passing block but hey - we're here now, might as well learn what we can from this.  

So because we will never know, I'm not going to send the prize.  

Just kidding!  I sent the prize to Vertlim.  447351 appears to be the magic first wood block with a timestamp later than the corresponding btc block's timestamp.  In case you were wondering the prime factorization of this is 3*41*3637.  Anybody else wants to ask for a consolation prize, complain, or compliment me on my beard - stop by and say hi on freenode IRC at #woodcoin.  

Thanks for playing!

thanks for the contest*

I think there was 447345 here. I posted to reserve 447340 to 447344 (I used 477340 to 477344 in my post instead of 447340 to 447344. You can see in quoted post.) after that post. The user has edited this I think. My post was also quoted by the other user who wished to me select one guess. Then I changed to guess only 447344. LOL  Grin

You are right, i also saw 447345 from that guy, he is not the winner and if moderators can check the logs they will find that guy edited his post.

A quick check and it looks like Vertlim the noob has it with 447351.

However BrailleReadee guessing 447350 hours beforehand deserves a prize as well.  

Sadly this all goes to heck at this point as I can't tell if posts were post-facto edited.  

Please get me your addresses, winners, and the floor is open for protests in the meantime.  

The user BRailleReadee edited it after the block timestamp. He is not the winner. There is no purpose of the contest if he is declared winner in this contest. If you would have been online at that time, you would have noticed it clearly. "Hoursbeforehand" that BrailleReadee entered only 447345. It was there until LOG reaches 447350. So, decide yourself.

I can confirm that clearly. You can read my other posts above.

I edited it before. I made a mistake in typing so I changed it and went offline. You're the one who tried to reserve 4 numbers, just go away.

I didn't see 447350 before my post when I entered. I didn't edit my post. You can check with the logs if you can. I am sure.

I don't know about the other guy but I did some estimations on the previous guesses and then edited my post to quite his.
