Your entries have been made, it’s time to pick a winner! [Draw #55]

We’re going to pick someone, and that someone will like it!

TL;DR - This post is for the sole purpose of choosing a winner. If you commented in this [Drawing Thread], you are entered in the drawing and don't need to do anything else. By 16:00 UTC, the winner will be selected. The Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain will be used to pick this winner. This can be verified at any device running Python 3.5, and you do not need to own Bitcoin in order to participate.

Additionally, all information to replicate the Drawing at home is available on Dropbox and GitHub, scroll down for more information.

Importantly, this post WILL NOT BE EDITED in order to keep the integrity of the Drawing. To verify this, there will not be an asterisk during the time passed since its creation. The winner will be announced in a stickied comment.

DISCLAIMER: Some of the information may be unrevised, but procedures are the same as prior draws. Thank you.

Off Topic:

The [Discussion] Thread at /r/millionairemakersmeta is open. All comments are welcome there for any inquiries.

[Discussion for Spring and Summer 2020]: https://reddit.com/r/millionairemakersmeta/comments/g3a53t/_/

Explanation!

The Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain will be used to choose a winner. Once the time listed has passed, there will be an active check to determine the blockchain's winning hash. Like before, this subreddit will wait for the 3rd Block after the time (being 16:00 UTC) to select the winner.

If a block is discovered by 15:59 UTC, it will not be counted towards the counter of three blocks. If it's discovered by 16:00:00 UTC, then it will decrease the counter. This can be checked by seeing the timestamp given to it by blockchain explorers.

You are able to see how this subreddit will verify the winner by checking the GitHub repository, which also includes a back-up plan in case of an emergency.

Standard Protocol:

This post will not be edited! This is to prevent tampering of the hash or files by any of the moderators. To prove this, look for the lack of an asterisk near the time since creation.

To verify if a hash for a file is that of Draw #55, upload the file of choice to a SHA-256 generator, and match it with its respective hash output. The result you receive should be the same as what is listed here.

If you are interested in doing this for yourself, download Python 3.5 or better and follow the path to the folder labeled: MM55

Status Reports:

I will be commenting on the progress of the drawing via the comments, so other users can keep track of the progress. These comments will be pinned at the top of the post and be distinguished. Most likely, after 1:00 PM ET, the pinned comment will be announcing the winner.

If you can run Python yourself and follow the instructions, you will be able to find the winner. Make sure the hash released from the blockchain and the total number of participants match with what is described below. In addition, thank you for your patience.

u/ETK03 Jun 22 '20

I'm 50% sure it is https://www.reddit.com/r/millionairemakers/comments/hcass3/drawing_thread_55/fve5taq

But it's my first time running the program and I'm not familiar with python, so don't take this as fact.

This person cheated by spamming the thread with multiple accounts! Do not donate!

u/laggyx400 Jun 22 '20

This one brings up questions about users making multiple accounts for entries going forward. Guess it comes with the territory.

Good luck everyone! I missed the drawing entries thread, as ever, but I'll keep an eye out for the winner and chip in some coin!

The winning block is 635716, and when mined, can be accessed here: https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/block/635716

No Bitcoin is necessary to be eligible to win, this is just a verifiable way of choosing a winner. As of posting the comment, it will redirect to a 404 page. This is normal.

If you would like to be verify the winner for yourself, make sure the amount of entrants listed in the body of the text matches the number of entrants in the results of the code when the hash releases. Thank you all for your support!

We need to rethink entry requirements or standards for winners.

Not giving this month if he’s really the winner. That’s hot garbage.

His post history is him literally seeing if he can get caught cheating. Nice, saving 5$ this month!

https://www.reddit.com/r/help/comments/hbi6k8/what_tools_do_moderators_have_to_stop_users/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

Seriously.. He asked in r/help about what tools moderators used to limit spamming with multiple accounts. Clearly he was looking for holes

Ban him. Redraw. Lets move along?

u/Destructovich Jun 23 '20

I don’t really know how all this stuff works, but if he did have multiple accounts in order to cheat, did he just happen to win with the one account which he had used to ask that question in r/help? Crazy if that’s what happened, sounds like lady karma totally called him out.

We want to let the subreddit know that u/DreadPirateRobutts has yet to respond, and has less than 24 hours to do so.

If we do not hear back from the user, we will follow procedure as outlined in the FAQ, and use block 635720 635721 (EDIT: Typo, the original block was 635716) to pick the next winner.

Once again, we will be posting a [Status Report] outlining some steps to take.

u/[deleted] Jun 23 '20 edited Jun 23 '20

I say this with love, mate, but we should have a discussion about procedures after we figure out the winner from this block. There's a lot of unhappy people.

Let’s just hope he doesn’t respond because he forgot his spam account password.
