Bounty $.54 - Can Steemit Discover My Real Identity? - Day 1steemCreated with Sketch.

in #challenge7 years ago (edited)

Greetings Steemit community,

Welcome to a game and social experiment designed to grow Steemit awareness, promote connections with other platforms, and explore how blockchain technologies like Steemit impact our offline lives- maybe we'll even discover a critical security issue to fix or a new use case along the way, who knows?

All you have to do is discover my real, offline identity by asking a daily Yes-or-No question.

Sound impossible? Relax, you have a whole year.

Current Bounty for Correct Guess: $.54

Why Play? (Bounty)

At the end of one year or when my true name is guessed, whichever comes first, a bounty based on all earnings this account makes from posts will be transferred to the member who correctly guesses my name.

Day 0: Correct guess bounty earns 100% account value

Day 365: Correct guess bounty earns 50% account value

In other words, each day my identity is not correctly identified the bounty declines by .14% of the account value.

How to Play? (Rules)

The Steemit community has one calendar year- beginning UTC 20:00 September 26th, 2017 and ending UTC 20:00 September 26, 2018- to properly identify my offline identity.

Each day I will answer the question posted as a top level comment to the previous day's post. The highest number of votes on the comment determine which question I respond to. In addition to answering a question each post, the community is allowed 3 name guesses each post.

For full details check the first post here.

Changes Since Last Post

Per your suggestions and comments, the following changes have been made. Instead of answering only 1 question OR 1 name guess, the community is allowed 1 question and 3 name guesses each day. So the highest voted question will get an answer, and the 3 highest voted name guesses.

Users must still post these as top level (not nested) comments, and post only one guess or question per each comment- this means two comments if you want to enter a question and a name guess.

Well, so it's UTC+2 or more.

In case we assume that @guessmyname has a day-based life, then I estimate his location somewhere in the time regions UTC+2 (steemit hours ~17-23) to UTC+4 (~19-01).

Now we need to find a good question which can both confirm that estimate and still further reduce the set of possibilities.
Hmm...

If nobody asks for a valid question, is it a waste?

Yeah I think its only fair to burn the day no?

Finding the name of your SteemIt account is enough to find your real name?

Well assuming you narrow down to a region, a profession, etc there are a lot of potential ways to make informed guesses...

You're right. And this is a valid question, there are a lot of potential other ones.

Do you live in France?

Note that this is different from Are you French? or Is french your native language?

Time running out to vote for next question!
