Hi LET members! First of all let me apologize for not posting this earlier and thanks everyone for waiting. It is time to vote for our favorite providers again!

This is a great opportunity for providers to claim prestigious "Top Provider" tag, while our members stand a chance to win prizes for their participation.

Prizes

(In alphabetical order)



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.



Algorithm

To ensure the fairness of the lottery, here is the hash of the MAGIC_SEED that will be used for selection: 0f82879560bfa32327222ec374ae281e3926e5953493127ecc665034a86460de (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);
