[Closed for new participants]
Instead of guessing the last numbers of a random block hash or the BTC-price at a defined date you need to guess Bitcoins first block in 2020, the next decade which will hopefully be a good one for BTC.
Ive chosen that special type of giveaway to encourage users doing research about Bitcoins block creation process. Predicting a block mined at a specified time can be anticipated to a certain degree when you know about the factors how block generation process is done. Important questions related to this giveaway:
- How many blocks are generated per hour?
- What does mining difficulty mean?
- Whats a mining difficulty adjustment?
- When are such adjustments done?
- How is BTC price affecting miners and therefore also mining difficulty and block generation process?
For detailed explanations how you calculated your nominated number, I might give some Merit in addition.
Of course, it requires a good portion of luck because all the factors are very volatile and until 2020 its still a long way to go.
To win this giveaway you have to predict the first block mined in 2020. The one coming closest will win the prize. Should we get a tie, the money will be divided equally. Relevant time is CET (Berlin time) after 23.59.59.
