Announcing the winner of my ‘Um, random giveway!’ post :-)
So, now’s the time to calculate who’s the winner!
The final entrants were:
1/ @apprentice
2/ @alexandraioana26
3/ @anindia
4/ @yushaina
As previously specified, the hash of the bitcoin block at height 507050, would be used to determine the winner; and, the following (very simple) calculation was to be used: ‘I will take the modulus of 4 of this, using python; then I will add to 1, to get a value in the range of 1 to 4, to match the list given above.’
The bitcoin blockchain has spoken, and therefore the result must now be in!
According to blockchain.info, the hash for this block is given by https://blockchain.info/block/000000000000000000050ab2b33615e33de65bb8da1a0fc9a4923508d22dbf92
So, when I type
print((0x000000000000000000050ab2b33615e33de65bb8da1a0fc9a4923508d22dbf92) % 4) + 1) into python, I get the following output:
‘3’
Therefore, the winner is (wait for it... 😉)
(Ok, sorry, maybe a bit OTT for the actual prize! 😁)
Anyway, the prizes are going to be as follows (I upped the amounts slightly from my last post due to today’s falling crypto prices😱):
@anindia - 200SBD
@apprentice - 35SBD
@alexandraioana26 - 35SBD
@yushaina - 35SBD
@a-alice - 15SBD
@wahyu07 - 15SBD
So, congrats!👍
I’ll make the payouts in something like 24 hours time. [This is to allow a short period in case anyone has queries with the maths. And, please note: the above results are subject to change if there’s something up with the calc.😬]
As for another giveaway: Hmmm - not so sure now (I think I would fast run out of SBD this way)!😳
So, I’m thinking maybe somesort of lotto-upvote thing instead...?😀 But, this would require quite a lot of Dev work first. (Comments/suggestion on this possible idea - very welcome.)
Awww cool, congrats to the winners! I hope you have more contests to come lol.
...‘Lol’ haha 😜
P.s, so you’re not above posting ‘cute/girl/gif/meme things’ in the hope of an upvote from my[shallow]self? 😜
It looks like I have changed while you were away hahaha. I've learned how to use memes and gifs. At least that is not me with ... she's too crazy lol.
I can’t be sure (without watching the movie again), but I’m thinking it could be the Margot Robbie character from suicide squad, hehe. If so, it would qualify for also for my favourite movie genre too (super hero movies, even better with the character being a kick-ass type girl)😀. But i’d also give big points for someone like Iron Man (love that [smug] character!). Or even better, that house of his (before it got destroyed in one of the movies)😆
I am just thinking that Harley Quinn (better with the red and black costume) might be closer to this Steemit character called @diabolika lol or maybe that is just my anti-hero fantasy...hahaha. For the past few months I kind of built that villain character. I have been unfollowed, followed and trolled but that is Steemit life haha. But hey, I'm still here lol. Nicer now.
I got it that you like Iron Man's super modern house. Oh and thanks for the hint lol. I'll try to include those anti-hero memes in my next comments.
👍
And, yeah ... however much crypto tanks, even to zero😱 —— one can at least still dream about a $100M (or more) house on the California sea cliffs😼
Trolled/unfollowed - really? I’ve yet to see anything like your dark side, then?! (but I’m sure there’ll be ample time)😜
Very minimal lol. Maybe it's just in my head... sigh, diabolic voices. 😈
Yeah as long as you don't go away again. I'll wish for your super modern house to come true. 😎
Thanks, seriously .... I need the motivation! Get off my a** and get back to doing some work for a change! X.
Iron Man, you say ...
That said, even without the upvote, you do amazing work in this community and I have great admiration for it.
Hehe.... if you say so😉
I do say so -- and I am also very very glad of the upvote lol 👍😱
Much appreciated 😁
"you do amazing work in this community and I have great admiration for it." --Yuppp. :)
do you care for small and rich people like you, but they love you and hope there will be good things ,, i just remind to remember the weak but they love you very much ,, :)
lol
@xaero1
What I missed............................~<>^>
What about if we comment our best post and you choose the one you like the most?
Interesting idea. Thing is, I want an automated system ... but it’s difficult to figure out who’s real, who’s fake, and who’s a bot😳....without very careful examination! But maybe I could pay someone to do this job, perhaps 😀
This would be amazing, I got some ideas, I can support if you need help :)
Interesting😀

There should be a site dedicated to these types of posts ..... they are wasted as replies😆. Y’know like dMania ... just can’t think what you’d call this genre🤔😂
i see dmania like unjust ,, they just take advantage and unfair to nenilai ,, those who often buy bots will surely win .. owh yeah may i make a post to you specially for you ,, i assume you are fair person and most fair in steemit ,, i write your name in my article ,,, and the title of the article (how to choose fair in steemit) ,, how do you think
@xaero1
Last year I fell into a ‘rabbit hole’ of responding to requests for upvotes. Only solution was to stop doing any at all really🙃 C’est la vie🤷♀️
Owh yahh,, you like utopian,,
I see u approve witnes to utopian-io,,
I have contribute in there😎😎😎
@xaero1
Coool! I don’t know much about it yet though... I should try to find out more. But it sounds good!😀
Check out my last post there is an idea about helping new creative steemians im one of them this my second month here in steemit i really love to help people even if my SP are weak , ( photographers designers and painters compitition will be great) everyone post his work and much upvoted work get the reward ( SBD or Upvote both are good) what do you think about this idea like this will take steemit platfrom to the top and in the same will help some creative steemians to improve themseleves here
Interesting. Similar to another comment. Need someone to do the selection though. First thing though I need to do is get some basic functionality working if i can 😀
If you need me to help i will be here because i love to help people and share love everywhere our community needs people like you mate you are kind and humble help everyone you are doing great job.

I have an idea that I've proposed the benefits of to many large stake holders in the past, I'll run it by you. If you would like to automate your voting to reward quality content without having to delegate and give away your curation rewards, you could follow the votes of some well known curators at a low percent. Alternatively if you aren't worried about the "curation rewards" that the platform offers as they are fairly small compared to the rewards granted, you could delegate to some curation services that find and support new users. The benefits of this are that we increase the quality of content and retaining quality authors on the platform, which over time grows the value of the coins you already have and makes you and everyone else money at the same time. Many prefer trying to amass tokens without building up the platform and I can't tell you which way to approach things, but you did ask for comments suggestions and that's my best idea.
Thanks for detailed comment .... for now though I think I’m going to try set up a node (if this isn’t impossible!) and then maybe an upvote-y website, ideally if I can 😀
Welcome back my friend, is there any other giveaway coming soon? I missed the last one i hope you do an other one 😥😖
Yeah, I need to persuade a friend of mine to help with a server haha ... too much work to do this by hand 😀
Heeey xaero1's friend!! ,, help him 😡😡
Well i have an idea... You make a competition on creativity .. (anything) the most creative post (photography , drawing, singing,sport,...) Winnes your upvote (not clean sbds, with this way you will save your sbds ;) )
Thanks for the constructive idea. Wonder if anyone would be will to do judging though for me! I think it would actually turn out to be quite work-intensive 😀
I agree, i can see that you re a lazy boy lol😂
Yeah, lol..... but seriously, the pro’s around here literally would not have time to reply to each one of a 1000 of replies 😉
As i said , i agree with you it will be a thousand of comments and participations,, but you can do somethings.. you leave the votes judge who has a lot of votes winn (however you need a serious help with that 😂)
Hehe... 😀
I thought this contest was excellent, it helps to maintain the dynamics of competing in Steemit and I think it's an excellent reward from your part @ xaero1 ...I hope you will do another contest ...
Cheers😀
@xaero1 you're a graet person :)
I remember that one.....yes, an old favourite😉
I really remember your service in steemit, you I helped me so much that I can be like this now, thanks for everything
but do you have time to reply my message on discord and steemit.chat :)
What an excellent initiative @xaero1, I would like to learn a little about this topic and be able to participate in your competitions, this is really what the community needs.
Congratulations for your great contribution and great idea.
Greetings Joha: *
Thanks!! I think lottery stuff would be another good (and disruptive ) use of the steem Blockchain IMO.
Greetings too 😀
