Good morning to all the Rising Star community!
We are approaching the end of the year 2024, and I would like to wish you all a very happy holiday season. May you enjoy unforgettable moments with your loved ones, surrounded by family and friends. Without more to say, today I come to bring the list of winners of the sweepstakes and talk about the latest changes to the site. Below are the requirements and prizes that apply to the sweepstakes.
Giveaway rules and prizes
To participate in the 10 million Starbits giveaway, users must have used the page to purchase an NFT. We track the total amount each user spends, and if the total exceeds 1,000,000 STARBITS, they will be eligible to participate.
In addition, in recognition of the users who have used the platform the most, I have decided that the members of the Top 5 will have triple the chances of winning by adding their name three times to the draw.
Winners will be announced after December 24, giving new users a chance to win.
- First Winner: 5,000,000 STARBITS
- Second Winner: 3,000,000 STARBITS
- Third Winner: 1,000,000 STARBITS
- Fourth Winner: 500,000 STARBITS
- Fifth Winner: 500,000 STARBITS

We have 79 eligible participants for the raffle prizes. Remember that @vassal, @toqs1986, @yonyonsson, @clipman77 and @ramon2024 being TOP 5 users, have double chance of winning. If you notice I am part of the table, but for obvious reasons, I will not participate for the prizes.
I will use the website sortea2 to announce the winners of the contest. The winners of the giveaway are:
- 1 - @yonyonsson - 5.000.000 STARBITS
- 2 - @raythulhu - 3.000.000 STARBITS
- 3 - @doombot75 - 1.000.000 STARBITS
- 4 - @ramon2024 - 500.000 STARBITS
- 5 - @tfranzini - 500.000 STARBITS
Congratulations to the winners! Your prizes will be sent before the publication of this post, so you should have them available on Hive Engine by the time you read this message. For those of you who didn't win, don't worry! It is very likely that in the coming months I will hold another similar sweepstakes, depending on the support the page receives. This time, the sweepstakes will have stricter rules and fewer participants, which will give more chances to win to those who are part of the top. I recommend you to start following me so you can be aware of our next sweepstakes!
In this post, I used again the tool provided by PeakD, which deals with several APIs that connect with various Artificial Intelligences to generate images paying with the local currency HBD. I used it to create the cover of the POST and this was the result, after three attempts.
It cost me a total of $0.15 cents for the three attempts.
The latest changes to Rising Star Utils
In the previous post, I told you about the brand new feature that I had implemented for Rising Star Utils, which is the NFT's marketplace with images and custom filters of each type. At the time of its release, not being so tested, it was likely to have some bugs, thanks to some other user I found out about a bug in the filters and I fixed it the same day.
I fixed the issues reported during the market launch and added the ability to search by pressing Enter in the Search field.
During the launch, some issues were detected as I unintentionally affected one of the functions responsible for recording the purchases and sales of each card and updating the database. This caused some purchases to not complete correctly. Once the problem was identified, I fixed it immediately. Additionally, I incorporated an improvement to the NFT search: now, pressing Enter automatically applies the filters to facilitate the search.
Return of the STATS function
The section that returns the STATS of the user who is logged into the Rising Star game page is available again. New design due to the changes that had been made to the page in general.
I added IM price filters in the market.
At the request of a user in the Rising Star general chat, I was asked to implement a filter for IM price in the market.
I added rarity filters in the market.
One of the improvements I worked on was adding a rarity filter for cards. Since it is not possible to obtain this information directly from the API, I developed a system that assigns rarity to each card based on the prefix of its name. Additionally, based on this system, I implemented a card filter by FanBoost, addressing a request from user @perrone.
It is now possible to display in the graph section the value of the STARPRO on the Hive network, expressed in dollars, together with its price on the Polygon network, also in dollars. This functionality opens up new opportunities for arbitrage between the two networks. For more details on the bridging process between Hive and Polygon, see @wagginston's post LINK.
Thank you all for reading! And happy holidays!
