The BTC Prediction contest was updated on August 27th, 2024 and was not edited again until the end of the contest. (See the last edited date).
Also, this contest has the same rule that you mentioned: If an x number of users isn't reached, it will be cancelled. You can see it at the bottom of the first post (green text).
While I understand your frustration, please be clear with your allegations. Nothing was change in the last minute and this contest was ran properly and with transparency.
Since you were the sole valid participant who followed the contest rules, you were given by the Vave team a little compensation. I hope that would be enough for you to move on.
