It is a good question to ask but we will do our best to contact the winning member with the email address they signed up with. If they don't answer in a set time then we will have to move the prize to the member with the next amount of highest vote.I would like to ask a question...
Since some of these threads, are from members that have not been active in over 2 years..... what happens if they win the voting process, and yet, cannot be contacted anymore?
No, anyone that has a thread in the competition must be eligible to win a prize, it would not be fair to exclude them.Personally, I think that only active members should be eligible... But I didn't make the rules so my personal opinion is moot.
30 days is a long time however, if I miss an email, by the time 30 days has gone by that email would be 11 pages back in history and lost into obscurity. How about 10 days? That's also a personal opinion, so I dunno lol
No, if you have f and that comes out in the hash from the first block mined by the bitcoin.com mining pool after the voting has closed then you win 1st prize and are then excluded from winning any other prizes.I'm guessing the winners will be chosen from four consecutive block hashes.
So if one was to win two (e.g. f was the character twice in a row), Does that user get to pick which of the two prizes?
Ok, sounds great. Good luck to all entrants! A whole month of voting should get things very messy, or very interesting. Only time will tell.No, if you have f and that comes out in the hash from the first block mined by the bitcoin.com mining pool after the voting has closed then you win 1st prize and are then excluded from winning any other prizes.I'm guessing the winners will be chosen from four consecutive block hashes.

The hash characters from the first winning users will be divided between all other members left in the running for 2nd, 3rd and 4th prizes.
Doing this as well for reference 3btc is still a big amount to win and I'm fine with giving 1btc to the oth3r competitorsI would also like to say that my deal still stands.
If I win the 4BTC prize, I will share 1 BTC with all of the other 3 winners broken down like this
2nd place 0.5btc (currently 650 usd value)
3rd place 0.35btc ( currently 450 usd value)
4th place 0.15btc ( currently 190 usd value)
I will honor this if I win the 4btc. Anyone else is welcomed to honor this as well. Thank you.
I don't see anywhere in the rules that you can't ask people to vote for you, and even if it is there I suppose they mean like asking your friends or pming users to vote for a specific thread.Is there a way to see who voted for what thread? Because how are you able to tell if multiple accounts are being made to farm votes? Are you guys able to thoroughly check this?
Also, you're not allowed to ask people you know to vote for you, right?
But that ruins the point of this whole competition, doesn't it? We don't want to know who can amass the most people to foolishly vote for them, we want to find the best thread and reward the author.I don't see anywhere in the rules that you can't ask people to vote for you, and even if it is there I suppose they mean like asking your friends or pming users to vote for a specific thread.Is there a way to see who voted for what thread?

Yes we can check the logs of who voted and will be checking for alt account votes regularly.Is there a way to see who voted for what thread? Because how are you able to tell if multiple accounts are being made to farm votes? Are you guys able to thoroughly check this?

I cant see any problems if members ask others to vote for them, if it was a rule there would be no way to police this unless we ban all outsider votes.
It does sound fair, what do others think?Yes we can check the logs of who voted and will be checking for alt account votes regularly.Is there a way to see who voted for what thread?

Simple as this -
No one with less than 20-25 posts can vote, especially new accounts that are probably made by a user's friends for voting and for voting only.
Then don't allow multiple accounts with the same IP to vote
Please link the post that you seen this rule in, i may have made a mistake.i thought in the original thread, it said only users registered before the cut-off for nominations were allowed to vote??
Yes it does say that and seems fair to keep the alt accounts that wish to sign up now just to vote away. I will update the OP now, good catchproject-development/1-000-bitcoin-prize ... -t265.html
It says there users registered before the deadline are allowed to vote.
Yes you are correct, i made a mistake, please accept my apologies.It was my own post so I nominated my own post. Which was within the rules I thought
You are right, i had a quick look and i think this has happened when i added the missing thread to the poll, damn!I just noticed that a bunch of votes disappeared, it says theres only 8 votes now, last i checked there was 21, what happened to them? Different threads have votes too when others didn't before.
