21Stacker Genesis Draw — Complete ⚡️
Last Wednesday (21st Jan) we completed our Genesis Bitcoin draw.
• 0.021 BTC
• 73 tickets
• 1 verifiable winner
Here’s how it went 👇
1/
The draw executed exactly as designed.
We used:
– A pre-committed hash (published before close)
– The first Bitcoin block mined after draw close
– 6 confirmations
– A deterministic modulo calculation
Fully auditable. No trust required.
2/
Winner confirmed: Ticket #895 🟧
Anyone can independently verify the result using:
sha256(block_hash || commitment_hash) % ticket_count
If the maths matches, the winner matches.
3/
Email flow update 👇
Registration, purchase confirmation, draw close, and winner emails all sent successfully.
One email — the public draw result announcement — didn’t fire to participants and was only received internally.
Already fixing this.
4/
Winner status update 👇
We’re currently verifying the winner’s details ahead of payout.
Once complete, the 0.021 BTC prize will be sent directly to the Lightning address provided.
5/
Entry feedback was strong.
Most users reported:
– Seamless ticket purchase
– Clear skill-question flow
– Smooth Lightning payment
Exactly what we wanted to see.
6/
Some friction appeared for users paying via exchange Lightning wallets, especially first-time users opening QR invoices on mobile.
Valuable feedback — and already shaping improvements.
7/

⚡ Real Lightning usage
