Seems I'm going to get rekt...
Opps !
One of the following two entries have 99% chance of winning
Code:
610,668 nelson4lov
610,699 Phil_S
First block in 2020 CET time will most likely be 610685.

Fire up the block eruptors!

Guess: 610,538 HCP
Current Blockheight: 610518
Time to go: 27.5 hrs
unless something truly terrible happens and we get 1 hour+ block times for the next 24 hrs!
Apparently, the average blocktime has been somewhat less than 10 mins over the last month... resulting in my very basic math failing. No surprises there then I guess

It's already over for you, we are @ 610,360 now.
And for me very soon, too.
If only there was some consolation prize for early guessers 😂

My bet goes to
610,720 crwth
or
610,770 GazetaBitcoin
A few more days left and I don't feel the luck in me right now. Hopefully, the computation I had is somewhat close to what it could be. Only if it's that simple. 610,720 crwth
or
610,770 GazetaBitcoin
Any more donations to add to the prize?
While the hashpower is quite high right now we won't see a big change until the next difficulty adjustment. So at least until then, miners will confirm blocks faster (according to BTC.com 4.50% right now).
I don't see significant changes when it comes to the hash power unless something happens. We will see.

Now at 610,299, guess that I'll be the first to lose 😂

Still more than 2 days to go...
Poll is closed now.
You are right about the average time. If blocks are mined at such a rate, nelson4lov has the biggest chance to win the contest.

I'm 33 blocks behind as per my calculation. Unless BTC get pumped to $8000, I don't have the chance to win anymore I guess & so do the others who predicted below 610550. You have a chance there though. By the way, the average time per block since then is ~10 minutes & 4/5 seconds which is a bit higher than the average.

even if price goes up 10% (to $8000+) it still takes time for miners with offline mining equipment to see the additional possible profit and for new hashrate to enter the mining space to lead to any kind of faster blocks. not to mention that such a small price rise could only lead to a tiny hashrate rise and such rises won't affect the time between blocks really.

.
So, estimated number of first block of 2020 is 610646
I am going to win the contest.

If BTC is pumped to 8000 dollar, we will have more miners and faster transactions. This will cause your chance to be even lower.

4770 minutes left until 2020 starts (at CET) . The current block number 610169.
Assuming every block is mined in 10 minutes, 477 blocks are going to be mined.

So basically, if we skip December 31, I win
We have a record of skipping December 30th Therefore, it's possible. 
December 22, 2019, 11:37:21 AM
Current block is 609315
We are ~13364 minutes away to the CET time of reaching 2020. According to the average block time, we will have ~1336 more blocks which will be resulted to the first block of 2020 as 610651. In that case hosseinimr93 will win the 1st prize & DdmrDdmr will get the 2nd prize

I guess you will only get if number of miners get reduced; if the price fall significantly.
