24 hours passed, OP seems to not have a good intention to use an escrow service. no guarantee that the winners will get their prizes so I'am out. Good luck for those who will be staying at this contest !
The title says 4.5 BTC and the OP says 2 BTC....
He / She needs to fix this.
What do you don't understand max what you can get from this ref contest is 2 BTC because there can only win 3 person.
First place will get 2 BTC
Second place will get 1.5 BTC
Third place will get 1 BTC
2 BTC + 1.5 BTC + 1 BTC = 4.5 BTC
I won't enter this ref contest until the BTC is in escrow.
You have been very helpful. :/
Just FYI, the first prize was 4.5btc. But it is now 2Btc.
No,the first prize was always 2 BTC.You have probably misread something.
