Wow, with your support we have had a great month-long Twitter marathon and have given away almost 6,000 DNA! There are another 2,000 waiting to be distributed today.

This week the task for the Idena Twitter Raffle was to retweet this tweet with a comment and tag an account of someone who could be interested in learning about Idena. And here are the winning tweets:

Congrats! Please remember to send your Idena wallet address in a personal message to @IdenaNetwork on Twitter to receive your 100 DNA prize. Those who have their accounts validated today will get additional 100 DNA.

How we chose 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.
