Notes
- Most providers require you to pass the fraud check or meet additional terms if you are selected as the prize winner.
- IDs will be assigned based on the alphabetical order of the list above.
- If the number of voters is less than the number of prizes, some voters will receive more than one prize (refer to the algorithm).
- Each eligible voter can only receive 1 featured prize.
- Special thanks to the moderators for helping to count the votes.
- Providers can still add prizes by sending me a PM with the details or commenting in the private thread.
- We reserve the right to disqualify providers or members found to be manipulating the results.
Additional terms
- *1 - Free shipping within the US on physical items; if outside of the US, the equivalent value will be issued as RackNerd account credit. If a winner is outside the US and has a parcel forwarding service, we’ll coordinate with them.
- *2 - The winner must have their own ASN and IPv4 ranges, and must be able to certify with RPKI, IRR, and LOA.
Algorithm
To ensure the fairness of the lottery, here is the hash of the MAGIC_SEED
that will be used for selection: 0b1c7e9823bd062db710e0bf923756b6a70ae756b620ffdb66ac746bc13a2b5b
(SHA256).
const seedrandom = require('seedrandom');
// Those values are just an example
const MAGIC_SEED = 'Seed';
const ALL_USERS = ['UserA', 'UserB', 'UserC'];
const HIGH_VALUE_PRIZE_COUNT = 3;
const PRIZE_COUNT = 5;
// Find winners
const rng = seedrandom(MAGIC_SEED + '_' + ALL_USERS.length + '_' + HIGH_VALUE_PRIZE_COUNT + '_' + PRIZE_COUNT);
let allWinners = [];
let prizeLeft = HIGH_VALUE_PRIZE_COUNT + PRIZE_COUNT;
while (prizeLeft > 0) {
let winners = ALL_USERS.map((user) => ({ username: user, rand: rng() }));
winners.sort((a, b) => a.rand - b.rand);
winners = winners.slice(0, prizeLeft);
winners = winners.map((selected) => selected.username);
allWinners = allWinners.concat(winners);
prizeLeft -= winners.length;
}
// Output
console.log(allWinners);
