Accepting ideas for the January giveaway.

Xbox One X?
Nintendo Switch?
PS4 again?

Something else?

Practically the suggestions should be under $400 USD please (honestly, dev fees do not pay that much, lol).

Thank you,

Folk,

Following the same logic used for the 1 ZEC contest the beginning of this month, the winner of the PS4/Spiderman bundle has been selected and contacted.

There were a total of 7,013 entries, 6 of which were from forum users on the giveaway thread, the rest were from firmware users.

I'll make the breakdown of entries per day available if requested, but I figured 24 lines of data would not really be helpful.

For each user who posted in the giveaway thread, 1 entry was added.
For each system that was running firmware, paid or free, 1 entry was added per day.

This file was randomly shuffled.

To select a real random number, I requested a number between 1 and 10000 from my wife and 2 users on the equihash discord service.

The numbers selected were: 25, 8731, and 1369.

These were totaled and divided by 2, dropping any decimal to determine the winning entry in the data file (25+8731+1369)/2 = 5062.5 or 5062 after dropping the decimal.

This resulted in a winning support ID of c0492572-fbf5-11e8-8c83-XXXXXXXX (last part has been obscured).

The winner happens to be a user on the Equihash discord chat (see my signature for a link to the discord) by the name of MinerX.312 - congrats!

I will begin another contest at the beginning of the year and I thank everyone for the participation.

Thank you Jason for your hard work on this firmware! The per board hash frequency setting is just what the doctor ordered for a couple of my z9 minis! Now for the story.... I was a disbeliever back in the hay day when bitcoin was young, never got into it then (regrets). Years later I have a successful job and can afford an expensive hobby. Plus how else can I support my wife's shopping sprees! Lol. Thanks again for the great firmware!

ha ha.. thank you for the response and good luck!

Edit.: My bad I think i didnt really read full option B Smiley . I started mining at july 2017 and got bunch of mixed cards as gtx 10xx series - basically 1063,1070,1070ti,1080,1080ti. I bought some of them few months ago when btc was still arround 6k ^^ but got them somewhat cheap. (Will post further later)

First of all, thank you efudd for the effort and for the possibility to your firmware also for the mini's.

I started with mining out of curiosity and of course the combination of hardware to make money, no one can deny it, was a great incentive to all that.
I started like the majority of all us with GPU mining and than had to switch to ASICs to stay competitive or at least not making minus despite the ROI of the ASICs.
Maybe the playstation is a stonger miner as the ASICs...lets see Cheesy

Awesome Uche32, thank you for sharing and good luck!

First!  I hope I win (:   (reserved for me cause I'm going to win  Grin )

Grkboy439 - just to be clear, this is for anyone who is using the Z9 or Z9Mini firmware and not just folk who respond to the thread -- but that may be you and if so, good luck and thank you for using the firmware!

Jason

Grkboy439 - I changed my mind and updated the rules. Anyone who posts in this thread beginning 12/01/18 will be entered into the drawing as well. A single entry maximum per person with this method as the primary method for entries are users of the firmware.

Thanks!

if i gonna win, please give it to charity.

That's easily doable! I've got an Xbox One X that I've pulled together donations from others for just to do that.

Thank you,
