Topic: When will 1 BTC = $1,000 Prize Competition. - page 6. (Read 16667 times)

As per OP the nearest guess wins, if 2 ppl were to be equi-distant, then it would be split between them I guess is the fairest.

It's a charity promotional non profit competition for me, unless I happen to enter & win



& I will be entering, just letting you guys get the pick of the most likely dates first

Very clever idea, and nicely thought-out system. The more probable dates will start to get selected soon

Is it so that if the exact date is not selected, prize goes to you (or to the nearest guess)?

Yep, I'm on the guest list over there, it was actually what gave me the idea to do this, so many thanks.

This way someone with just 0.01 btc could win & attend the festivities, hopefully the final prize total will be enough to cover their travel, accommodation & expenses - not sure what the party ticket prices will be, but if a whole year's worth of dates sell out ( 2014, hint, hint   ) then that's 3.65 BTC in fees plus 1 BTC which should be plenty enough to cover it all.

nice little contest.

we are organizing this event:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3055867

interesting to see what forum members think about the timing...



edit: typo

If it hits $1000 before May 2014 then that's the luck of the draw, as we get closer to $1000 ppl will choose more & more of the available dates, like snaffle up the whole of May & June say as it's only 0.01 btc entry per date, 0.31 BTC for either of those entire months.

Your idea to pick a cut off price instead is good though, so if more ppl request this then I'll change it, what would you suggest $500?

Or perhaps both, which ever happens earliest $500 or 1st May 2014 could work best?

All money sent to the prize address is to be paid out to the winner. My 1 BTC donation to the prize plus 100% of all entry fees & any extra odd random amounts that may be received there. Edit to add & of course any donations to the prize fund, like 600watt's generous 1 BTC now added.

Perhaps you should have a date when the price hits a certain value. What if it hits 1000 before May? It would be crazy but someone will just pick the date right near the end.

What happens to extra money after the 1 BTC?

  Pot atm: 5.25 BTC

I'd like to do a similar competition to those that I've done in the past (see under Rep in my sig), this time to forecast when 1 BTC = $1,000.



I have put 1 BTC in as a prize, but due to there being many ppl with multiple accounts now on the forum there will be a small entry fee this time which will be added to the prize jackpot.

So you can now enter as many times as you like with the same forum ID, but for each date chosen you need to send 0.01 BTC to 1Thousand & add a Public Note in blockchain.info wallets with the date/s that you've chosen, plus your forum ID if you want.

Alternatively post your chosen date/s here along with your transaction ID - please don't edit your dates except for typos/clarity, my rules & common sense, i.e. if someone puts the same date as one already chosen the first person wins it & ambiguous dates will be void. If you choose a date/s that are already taken then I'll ask you to change it, or allocate the next available date/s to you.

The blockchain will be used to show the order of the entries received, rather than by the posts here & the dates chosen/allocated will be those shown in post #2 here.

Please express dates as YYYY MM DD or as 29th Feb 2017 say, entries will be closed on the 1st May 2014 when the Bitcoin price hits $500 (but this may be extended by popular demand up to say $750-ish if the majority of those playing wish). Closest guess wins obviously, dates are by GMT/UTC time.

If your chosen date/s have already been taken, then you will be allocated the next available dates.

Price to be taken as on the highest volume exchange at the time, ie atm it's Mt. Gox.

Edit to add, see jimbobway's post, also a trust or fund, ETF etc, (like WBT or BIT), even an FBI auction for that matter, if it has the highest volume on the day & the trade is public (Bloomberg terminals count), then yes that would definitely be OK.

All funds sent to the entry address will go in to the jackpot, check the current balance here, no refunds will be offered. My rules & common sense for anything overlooked or unexpected.

See post #2 for a summary of entries to date, which updates every so often, but quite often, at least daily usually atm.

Summary

Send 0.01 BTC per date chosen to:

1ThousandAF3VeVnQtteX6htvjZoREs35

Add a Public Note with your date choice/s or post here with your tx ID & date choice/s.

If your chosen date/s have already been taken, then you will be allocated the next available dates.

First come, first served. Good luck!
