Sorry for this slight "Frankenstein" revival but I've got to say that this was an incredible idea for a contest. I'm not even talking about the prize money, I'm more talking about the idea - one really needs to understand how mining works in order to give an assertive / sustained guess - and the whole community reaction that was driven to it and how helpful the posts ended up being (particularly the ones that explained why they thought that X block will be mined.). It was also really awesome seeing the last threads where users were carefully watching blocks being mined and their guesses being somewhat ... surpassed.
Congratulations on this one 1miau! Do you plan on doing some more of these "giveaways" in the future? I've been thinking in other topics that could be covered but so far I haven't come up with anything as insightful as yours. What do you think of "increasing" the scale of another contest such this one but this time also include local boards?

Sorry for my late reply, I didn't follow my topic here, so your very nice reply went unnoticed.
I'm currently planning a new one, but posted on our local (German) board. That's why I came back to this topic and saw your reply.
I can also launch a new giveaway here, again in Beginners and Help as it's very useful and we have some Newbies here.
For new ideas, please let me know if there should be changes, how long our giveaway should be running (right now, still plenty time is left).
So yes, I'm open for a new round.
