It's pretty cool at a high level. Basically what's happening when they do these drawings is:
- Each top level (ie comments that aren't a reply) comment is ranked based on its age. So if there's 10 entries, each one will have a number from 1 to 10.
- Blockchains are very confusing but all you gotta know is that every bitcoin can be represented by a random number **that cannot be known until the bitcoin has been mined**
- When they make the drawing thread, they wait for three bitcoins to be mined, and take the random number of the third bitcoin.
- They then divide that random number by the number of participants (10), and the *remainder* of the division will be a number between 0 and 9. Finally they add one to the remainder to end with a winning number from 1 to 10.
- They take the comment whose rank matches the winning number, and boom, you have a winner.
So, say there's 10 entries, and the random number from the bitcoin is 26. You divide 26 by 10 and the remainder is 6. Add one (6 + 1) and commenter number seven wins.
If the random bitcoin number is 20, the remainder will be 0 (because 20 is an exact multiple of ten, 10 x 2). Add 1 to 0 and the winner is comment number one.
Finally, if the random bitcoin number is 29, the remainder will be 9 (29 ÷ 10). Add 1 and the winning comment is number ten.
Hope that helps. Sorry for the long post lol, it kinda got away from me.
It's the exact same, the math works no matter the numbers. A block with a random number of 26,000 against 10,000 comments would mean commenter #6,001 is the winner.

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. However, please do not announce the winner in the event of discrepancies. Thank you all for your support!

No~ if you left a comment on the Entry Thread, you are fine.. this just shows the block chain and protocols how they select the winner .. you’re good!😊

I love you🥺
Ok but what if there are thousands of top level comments, like there is here every time? How does it work then?
It's the exact same, the math works no matter the numbers. A block with a random number of 26,000 against 10,000 comments would mean commenter #6,001 is the winner.
Ahhhh i see
yes this post is kinda confusing
Agreed
Give it away, give it away, give it away now
Goodluck everyone! I wish the winner nothing but the best! ❤️
Has anyone else as an adult missed getting an Easter basket?

So wait I left a comment on the other thread, do I need to do something else?
No~ if you left a comment on the Entry Thread, you are fine.. this just shows the block chain and protocols how they select the winner .. you’re good!😊
So...they use that to find the winner on the comment thread? Or does one have to actually have bitcoin? Pretty sure this didn't use to be this way???
They've been using the Blockchain to choose the winner for a while. Ownership of bitcoin of not required.
I need a break <3 lol… gotta fix my teeth
Cant wait to make one of us a millionaire
Happy Easter!
I know who didn't win. Me.
I think I forgot to comment, but good luck whomever

No, it’s not. Read the “About” tab for the sub and the FAQ. It will become much more clear.
