Recently I announced that I would have an on-going "contest" where people would have a chance of earning LEO for making comments on my content. It's my way of "giving something back" to the community while I am trying to increase the overall engagement. I give away 5 LEO in total, twice per week for starters, but I've already been thinking about doing something different shortly. It will continue like it has until next Wednesday 2021-04-14 though. I might do some changes after that, but I haven't decided yet.
You can read about it here:

I ignored a plagiarist from participating in this contest. So there should have been 31 people in total.
Instead of just giving each user a number, I did something entirely different to make this as fair as possible, while still being 100% random. I actually made it even more random by doing this!
The participants above have each been given a number. That number is based on the order of the comments in my articles. So, the first comment on the first post since I announced "round 2" of this is taskmaster4450le. The second one is natalia-irish and so on.
With a total of 30 people, I decided to give each participant a random number. I used random generator and entered 1 - 30 and pressed generate like shown below:
This makes things even more random, as #1 suddenly becomes #3. I did this a lot of times. (You can't imagine how often you roll the same number more than once when you generate random numbers...)
Anyhow, I did this just to get each user a truly random number. After I had been generating new numbers for each participant, the list looked like this instead:
| Username | Number | |
|---|---|---|
| taskmaster4450le | #3 | |
| natalia-irish | #7 | |
| alexvan | #27 | |
| evernoticethat | #11 | |
| acesontop | #1 | |
| josediccus | #14 | |
| dwixer | #9 | |
| bozz | #22 | |
| jfang003 | #16 | |
| numpypython | #2 | |
| tfranzini | #4 | |
| cryptokraze | #12 | |
| frankbacon | #8 | |
| lucylin | #26 | |
| nonameslefttouse | #5 | |
| cowboyphylosophy | #28 | |
| codingdefined | #13 | |
| jaxsonmurph | #20 | |
| bil.prag | #19 | |
| cryptictruth | #30 | |

RANDOM WINNERS
When I had done all of this, I started to roll the 5 random numbers.
The winning numbers this time are:
#8 - #11 - #4 - #18 - #27
In other words:
frankbacon, evernoticethat, tfranzini, bitcoinflood and alexvan.
I do this in an attempt of bringing more attention towards real & active engagement which reflects a healthy and thriving platform. The long haul goal is to take some of the awesome amount of engagement from the daily posts from @leomarkettalk and push some of that elsewhere instead. I have plans for how to grow this thing into something even better with time, so starting with my own posts are just the beginning.
This is definitely a lottery. The cost is a single comment to get a ticket. The tickets are powerful and meaningful and it will boost the overall engagement with time. The outcome is a thriving and active community that will attract more content creators.
- Engagement is key.
The third set of prizes will be sent on Wednesday
2021-04-14 and comments from this post is eligible.
