Alright folks!
The Finals list has been determined. Just skip to the list if you want, the next part is optional and is going to be a refresher of the boring but technical, complicated, and provably fair way the lists were determined.
The semi-finals list were ordered in a first come first serve basis, except for a few (cough
@liftapint cough
) who removed their name and then later put it back on, so they moved down the list. There should be a paper trail of everyone entering by looking at the replies of this thread if you really want to get into the weeds. I randomized the list and the first 16 are in the Finals.
If you like, you can recreate the finals list yourself using the method I used:
- Go to https://www.random.org/lists/?mode=advanced
Yes, Advanced mode. The only mode for connoisseurs of convoluted.™
- Copy and paste in the list names, one per line
- In "Part 3" at the bottom, use "Use pregenerated randomization based on persistent identifier"
- The identifiers I used were a predetermined word (which only I knew) and the number of entries for that list (which I had no way of knowing).
You can see the identifiers for each list below
- In "Part 4" click the randomize button and select the first 16 names
Tomorrow you will be able to check to see who actually won the right to purchase by checking the last digit of the hash of the Ethereum blocks:
For the 25¢ rack, block number
16520000
For the 4 barrels of $25, block number
16520100
The links above will automatically update to show the hash after the countdown ends. When the the countdown ends, click on the "click to see more" expander link at the bottom and then you can see the hash. Compare the very last digit and see who won!
Finals List - one person from each list will get to purchase the chips.
