Congrats to 027057 for winning the 1 million BiblePay (BBP) Proof of Distributed Computing (PoDC) giveaway.

There is another 1 million BBP giveaway in Feb 2020 as well!

1 Million BiblePay PODC Giveaway

Terms and conditions

  • You must be an existing PODC researcher, in the biblepay leaderboard as of January 31st, 2020
  • You must be contributing to research in World Community Grid
  • You must have more than 100 RAC (recent average credit). If you are picked but less than 100 RAC, then winner goes to next address in line.

Mechanics of picking the winner

  • At block height 173307 we will take the first 4 hex-characters of the blockhash, equaling 1-65535 (A).
  • Let B = 65535 / (count of superblock researchers in the prior superblock).
  • Let C = A / B. C equals the (ordinal of) the winner (by counting from left to right through the last GSC contract prior to 173307, which was block 173245).

All of that to say, take the decimal value of the first four hex digits of the blockhash. Get the number of addresses paid out that are not coinbase (first two transactions) or any dynamic whale stake (dws) at the end that have a decimal of 1527 (angel number).

VB6 code to determine the winner

Private Sub PODCWinner()
'bbp podc winner
Height = 173307
sblockhash = "ec57a81e053ce1e61b299d4c0168c56d7c0214f817af30b35ddf8ad675209a0f"
C = CLng("&HEC57")
'last gsc transaction before 173307:
'getrawtransaction 0841a3066395229b7c0b2aae6b06f35c57a0df6ddc602ed5919a2c155f783ede 1
SuperBlockCount = 56 'researcher count minus pow miner tx minus sanctuary tx
B = 65535 / SuperBlockCount
A = CInt(C / B)
VOUT = A + 1 'First vout *after* pow and sanctuary - (Note, if we land on a CPID with < 100 RAC, we will move to the next payable ordinal - even if we need to reset the counter from the beginning).
'(This is to discourage people from making fake cpids to get votes)
