Who is the person behind the competition?
All the details are already mentioned on the website, but I’ll do a quick recap for you.
He/she calls themselves Pip and wants to remain anonymous. This is for safety reasons.
This part I completely understand. Who knows what syndicate or dark web types would arrange a kidnapping, hack, theft or who knows what if they knew who this person really was.
Pip says he’s been mining BTC from the early days and is at a point in life where money is not a problem.
To be able to give almost $2 million away and still say money is not a problem says a lot. Either he does not care about money or has much more BTC stored up. I think the second option is the biggest possibility.
I’ve heard stories about how easy it was back in the day to mine BTC compared to 2018. This post gives a brief history of BTC mining.
Has anyone cracked the code?
For some reason, I get different sites or information on my mobile phone compared to my laptop. When browsing on my iPhone, it says that the 310 BTC has already been cracked together with a 0.1 BTC and 0.2 BTC. There is only a 0.31 BTC left.
There is a note that more competitions could be launched in the future. Keep an eye on the site.
