"Hear me and rejoice! We have had the privilege of being saved from the mad Indian spammers and shitposters.
You may think these spams for over a year are sufferings. No... it is salvation.
The Indian forum tip toward betterment because of your belief in bringing back the board.
Smile... for even after a blanket ban, you are still using this forum and now going to earn bitcoin."

To commemorate the 10th anniversary in a not so grand way and also to move towards the betterment of this sub-board I am hereby starting the game of speculating the bitcoin price on November 22, 2019 (exactly 10 years after satoshi's announcement of a new forum).

Contest :

Every Indian forum member is welcome to participate in this speculation game and who ever predicts the closest price of bitcoin on November 22, 2019, 06:04:28 PM UTC will win 0.002211BTC which will be paid from the escrow wallet. All you need is to post the closest price of bitcoin in coinmarketcap (to be very specific) at 22/11/2019 and type your wallet address below the predicted price.

Rules :

1. The timer would start by today immediately after posting this topic and would end exactly on November 10 2019 23:59 IST. So please post your guesses within this time frame and later on November 10 I would lock this topic. Further PMs will not be entertained.

2. Trolls are banned from participating in this game. If you are a reformed Indian troll (which could be very well evident from your posts) your prediction would never be taken into account and your post would be reported until it gets removed.

3. Even though the topic is not self-moderated it doesn't mean you can ruin this topic by posting shit. Only post the predicted price and your bitcoin address. If possible add a good note on how much you are willing to participate in future games and for encouraging developers and translators to contribute to Bitcoin Core and translating Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin.org in native Indian languages.

4. Newbies are allowed to participate, but you shouldn't have made your first post in this topic and You might have been a old guy but isn't really an active poster.

5. Bounty Hunters are not allowed to participate in the game. If you are not from India and trying to mask your nationality by suddenly chiming in this topic from nowhere your prediction would never be taken into account.

Escrow and Future Development Ideas :

The funds which are donated by the Indian forum users and micgoossens would be used for further development of the sub-forum and would also be paid for developers and translators who would be helping the bitcoin ecosystem by contributing to the Core development and for translating Bitcoin Core software and bitcoin.org in native Indian languages. The escrow for the collected funds will be held by DarkStar_ and the payment would be made from the escrow wallet.

Indian developers are quite brilliant but since bitcoin is being promoted in a wrong way of get rich quick scheme almost 90% of them aren't really aware that they could contribute to the Core development. Along with that, India is a country with rich old languages and tradition and hence Bitcoin Core and bitcoin.org present in various Indian languages would help the country to get adopted even higher than it is now. Kindly promote this topic to all the Indian developers you encounter IRL and they would get paid for their work.

Right now Bitcoin Core is available completely only in Tamil and we need to make the languages even more higher. Similarly bitcoin.org is available only in Hindi which should be increased for better connectivity among fellow Indians. Everyone would be paid for their work provided they prove that they are the one who is the owner of corresponding github and Transifex accounts here in bitcointalk to get paid.
