Hi everyone, I've got some news for you.
First of all, the gap between Vispilio and xSkylarx has never been smaller. And the battle for 3rd place is still uncertain.
You can start thinking about 4 alts for 2024.
Now for the not-so-good news...
For those of you following the Reputation section, there have been a few topics about Symmetrick aka Ratimov in recent weeks (I'll let you do your own research).
As a result of all this, I received a PM from Ratimov yesterday informing me that he no longer intends to honor his role as sponsor :
Hey,
Halab, good initiative. Let me support your competition as a sponsor.
So far the prizes are:
1st : 0.0030 BTC
2nd : 0.0015 BTC
3rd : 0.0005 BTC
As a sponsor, I will add the following amounts to the prize money:
1st : 0.027 BTC
2nd : 0.0135 BTC
3rd : 0.007 BTC
In total, taking into account the prize money from
Halab+
Ratimov, the following prizes are obtained:
1st : 0.03 BTC
2nd : 0.015 BTC
3rd : 0.0075 BTC
Good luck to all!
Nevertheless, Ratimov added that Icopress owes a small debt of 0.004 to Ratimov. And this sum would be paid to me for the winners.
So instead of what was announced by Ratimov above, there will be :
1st : 0.0030 BTC
2nd : 0.0015 BTC
3rd : 0.0005 BTC
Bonus Ratimov :
1st : 0.0025 BTC
2nd : 0.0010 BTC
3rd : 0.0005 BTC
Total :
1st : 0.0055 BTC
2nd : 0.0025 BTC
3rd : 0.0010 BTC
Sorry for the disappointment, like you I'm suffering Ratimov's decision, but it's his decision.
Any post on Ratimov's case in this topic will be reported. Go and discuss this in the Reputation section in the appropriate topics.
I remind you that the purpose of this contest is fun, not money and that why this contest is entirely free. I could have claimed Ratimov's BTC when he made his promise, but I don't want to be responsible for other people's money because I'm not infallible (loss of private keys, hack, etc...). So please don't drag me into your shitstorm.
