The third week of the Twitter Raffle has brought some more great tweets about Idena and rewards to the randomly chosen winners — please see the list of them below. And be ready to participate again as we have more prizes to give away.

To take part in the Idena Twitter Raffle next week, follow these rules:

1. Follow @IdenaNetwork

2. Retweet this tweet with a comment

3. Tag 1 account — of someone who could be interested in learning about Idena — in your comment

4. You may make as many tweets as you want. Each retweet should be unique and have a message about Idena.

The Idena team will randomly draw 10 winners among all the qualifying tweets of the week. The results of this week will be published in the Idena Twitter account on Saturday, August 1, 2020, at 15:00 UTC. The 1st of August is the Idena validation day and you don’t want to miss it: Those winners of the fourth week of the Idena Twitter Raffle who will have their accounts validated will receive additional 100 DNA each.

Week 3 winners

This week’s task was to reply to somebody’s tweet with a comment tagging @IdenaNetwork and telling about the project or to tweet and tag Idena and someone who could be interested in learning about it. Here are the winners drawn from the list of contenders:

Congratulations to you all! Please send your Idena wallet address in a personal message to @IdenaNetwork on Twitter to receive your 100 DNA prize. And a nice reminder: Those winners of weeks 1–3 of the Idena Twitter Raffle whose accounts are validated receive additional 100 DNA each.

How we choose winners

1. We take the first Idena block mined after 12:30 UTC on the day of choosing winners.

2. We take the first 2 bytes of the block’s hash.

3. The resulting number is the first winner’s number in the list of contenders. As this number is larger than the number of the tweets that take part in the raffle, when we have counted to the end of the list, we begin to count again from top to bottom.

4. We wait for the second block after 12:30 UTC to be mined and repeat the procedure to determine the second winner. Thus, we repeat the calculation 10 times.

5. In case of collision (the same winner is selected twice) we take the first 2 bytes of the block’s hash and multiply it by 2, 3, 4 and etc. until collision is resolved.
