Requiring participants to have certain number of merits was the best thing you could do and you did it. There should be a requirement, a minimum post count, a minimum activity or minimum merits. I think minimum merits is the best option and I personally cannot find a better solution.

As you said, there are some competitions in "games and round" board. Some owners don't bother themselves to make a rule. Some of them say that using multiple accounts are not allowed, but actually they do nothing to fight multiple accounts. Most of those competitions are due to promotion and advertising purposes and owners don't have any issue with multiple accounts. Because multiple accounts help their thread be more active and this is exactly what they want. But your giveaway is different from them. You are paying the reward with your own money, want to have a fair competition and have to make a rule to avoid cheaters.

Well said and not only my money since Royse777 added some BTC to the pool.

Code:

610,538 HCP
610,540 Royse777
610,542 pooya87

Right now, the outcome is possibly even higher based on my projection, if we expect 144 Blocks per day:

Latest projection: 609,200 (current block) + (10*144) = 610,640

If blocks are confirming faster from now on, we'll see more blocks mined until 2020 of course.

The trend is clearly pointing towards somewhere around 610,700, assuming that BTC won't drop:

New projection: 37,225 Minutes / 10 Blocks + 606,852 (current Block) = 610,574

Latest projection: 607,431 (current block) + (22*144) = 610,599

Current projection (every block 10 minutes): 608,000 (current block) + (18*144) = 610,592

But nobody knows what BTC price is doing. A new dump could happen at any time.
