OK, looking back through the thread, I believe I know how to claim my prize now!! Please can the prize be sent to
1G6XYjh4gdDPKVtmfHYVg7jNJkQzzM9GHP
my old blockchain wallet where I sent the bitcoins from is no longer in use, and can't access it as it seems to be locked to my old IP address!

Boom! Transaction sent! https://blockchain.info/tx/ac9237722106bd17632b4105b043c9b1efd546f1154a8658fd2f627518279542

Now everybody be impressed with me that I held a WHOLE $60 for a year and didn't run off to Mexico with it Grin

Think of all the things you could've done with it!

Hmm. $60, gas is $2.50 a gallon, my Prius gets 55mpg on average, 60 ÷ 2.5 * 55 = 1,320 miles. I can drive half way from Washington DC to Mexico.

Today, I saw gas here in Sandwich, IL, at $1.95. At that price, you can now get across Texas.

Thank you once again, Rassah, for acting as escrow for this crazy endeavor.

Quote from: guiltmanager on December 12, 2014, 07:07:52 PM

wow!! thank you. all received!!

Now that BFL is back in business and no longer allowed to sell pre-ordered wares, you can invest that sixty bucks for an off-the-shelf Jalapeno, and still have BTC left over. Sadly, though, the left-over amount would be worth more than what the Jalapeno would ever produce, hence it being your call.

Thanks again, guiltmanager, for participating.

Can somebody chime in and state whether or not I was fair in determining a winner? Hopefully, as everybody can see, there was no way for me to game the results. Thanks, in advance.

Okay, lets see if we have a winner: https://blockchain.info/block-index/506356/0000000000000000144681257676a459d620aefa15c326e8666eab16880bb077

a 459 d 620 aefa 15 c 326 e 8666 eab 16880 bb 077

Nope! 8666 is larger than 19, so on to Block #33394.

https://blockchain.info/block/00000000000000000a344ffc2e69fef779cd8dc82ae50cec8e9ebb59c73baac5

a 344 ffc 2 e 69 fef 779 cd 8 dc 82 ae 50 cec 8 e 9 ebb 59 c 73 baac 5

Looks like we're going to have a winner, for 8 is in between 1 and 19 inclusive. I can't wait to see which two are in the running for the next and final round.

Looks like the two runner-ups are TheNewAnon135246 and guiltmanager.

Put in alphabetical order, we have guiltmanager (as odd) and TheNewAnon135246 (as even).

We now visit Block #333935... (right after the commercial break, where perhaps Block #333935 will be already found - hopefully)

And, we're back, ladies and gentlemen. Looks like Block #333935 has been found: https://blockchain.info/block-index/506357/0000000000000000195d07eb4c0d1ace69e778910358b049283ec507fb52b627

This is soooooooooo exciting, can't wait to see who the winner is: guiltmanager (as odd) or TheNewAnon135246 (as even).

d 07 eb 4 c 0 d 1 ace 69 e 778910358 b 049283 ec 507 fb 52 b 627

Ohhhhhhhh! It's a 0. You know what that means. We visit the very next number of which it's a 1, thus odd. Gotta love the word "ace" and the number 69 that follows, neither contrived.

Thus, the winner is guiltmanager: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/guiltmanager-171520

Looks like guiltmanager has been active lately, so time to blast him a PM.

Thanks for playing, everybody.

Still in illustration mode now that a couple more blocks have finally been found...

Block #333923 hash is 00000000000000000af8684af9b5b96f1d34328d77afe3783cc55ccd895e4157

Thus...

af 8684 af 9 b 5 b 96 f 1 d 34328 d 77 afe 3783 cc 55 ccd 895 e 4157

The fifth [element] is the number 1, thus if would apply.

Going to the lists, we have BenTuras and affan. Put in alphabetical order, we now have affan and BenTuras: affan is odd and BenTuras is even.

We look at the very next block hash which is: 0000000000000000176edd85cf5309fb2cfec99473c3e65c6e01eade00340c03

Thus...

edd 85 cf 5309 fb 2 cfec 99473 c 3 e 65 c 6 e 01 eade 00340 c 03

The first digit of the third number 2 is 2, and it is even, thus BenTuras would have been the winner in this example.

I just thought of something. If the resulting digit is a 0, then I'll go to the VERY NEXT digit that is not a 0 (in the above case that would have been a 9) to determined the odd/even portion of determining a winner.

Now, we wait for Block #333933. Good luck!

The winner will be determined by the hash function of Block #333933 and #333394, unless the desired resulting number gleaned is higher than 19 (fuck me, now I have Bruce Peterson on the brain Roll Eyes

).

The Hash for Block #333922 is 00000000000000000b2dde107d49f8b98eb9e1947cf87d3bb66af9fd2d7c82c0 as depicted here: https://blockchain.info/block-index/511618/00000000000000000b2dde107d49f8b98eb9e1947cf87d3bb66af9fd2d7c82c0

I will disregard all the letters up to the first letter, in this case the letter "b", thus: b2dde107d49f8b98eb9e1947cf87d3bb66af9fd2d7c82c0

Then, I will isolate the numbers from the letters, thus:

b 2 dde 107 d 49 f 8 b 98 eb 9 e 1947 cf 87 d 3 bb 66 af 9 fd 2 d 7 c 82 c 0

I will glean the fifth [element], in this case the number 98, as highlighted above.

98 is larger than 19, thus I head on over to the next Block/hash to see if the resulting number can be had.

Once a number between 1 and 19, inclusive, is realized, I'll head on over to both ordered lists and count down, i.e., if the number is 12, then Light and jparsley will be the two ready for the next round. I will put the resulting names in alphabetical order, in this case jparsley (first) and Light (second). jparsley will be consider odd (think number 1) and Light will be considered even (think number 2). I will then look at the very next Block's hash function and see what the very first digit of the third number is. If it's odd, Light would've won, and if it's even, then jparsley would've won, example purposes only.

Using the same hash function as above, I'll illustrate how that odd/even number will be obtained:

b 2 dde 107 d 49 f 8 b 98 eb 9 e 1947 cf 87 d 3 bb 66 af 9 fd 2 d 7 c 82 c 0

2 is the first digit of the first number 2
1 is the first digit of the second number 107
4 is the first digit of the third number 49
4 is even (thus Light would've won this round and the overall contest)

I believe that what I've devised is fair. What I can't believe is that we're still on Block #333922, thus the results may be a while in the making, but I see no problem there.

Let me know if I failed somewhere in my reasoning/fairness, for there's no way I can game the results at this point, even in essence giving entrants two chances to win.
