@ralf said: I'll be getting a source of randomness from the first beacon after Thursday 1 December 00:00 UTC (unix time 1641945600), will post further details once I've stolen it from @yoursunny figured out how to get it right
Haha, I managed to mess up the Unix time and nobody noticed! Date decided to use US locale, and so that date was actually 12th January 2022. The actual Unix time is 1669852800.
The cloudflare beacon seems to produce a new value every 30 seconds. The round at 10:49 UTC was 2479140, and the deadline is approximately 47580 seconds from then. I estimate another 1586 rounds will complete, so I expect to be using round 2480726.
I will use curl https://api.drand.sh/8990e7a9aaed2ffed73dbd7092123d6f289930540d7651336225dc172e51b2ce/public/2480726 to extract the beacon, and use the randomness field.
Someone just didn't read the rules and tried to bid on everything:
I LOVE FREE SERVERS ❤️ LUCKY DIP
I LOVE FREE SERVERS ❤️ ADVIN
I LOVE FREE SERVERS ❤️ HOSTCRAM
I LOVE FREE SERVERS ❤️ SERVER FACTORY

And in an inception-esque move:
I LOVE FREE SERVERS ❤️ ADVIN
Advin
However, due to an unforeseen captcha slowing this entry down, it was submitted after the deadline and was therefore disqualified. Ironically, if it was on time, he'd have won his own server!
@kheng86 wins I LOVE FREE SERVERS ❤️ LUCKY DIP
because the other two are allocated, this defaults to I LOVE FREE SERVERS ❤️ HOSTCRAM
Please can you guys can make sure you have an account created in the control panel for the appropriate provider, and then PM me the email address you used to sign up so that I can raise the ticket for the transfer.
Hope you enjoy your servers, and sorry to everyone who missed out.
Also submitted after the deadline, and I didn't even notice as I was writing the results post. If it's any consolation, you wouldn't have been in the first 3 anyway.
Thanks for your gift @ralf , failed to get similar spec during BF, but get it here. Just like life : )
And I'm going to use the email account registered during BF to receive it.

I feel so grateful that I won one of these! But thinking about it again, I feel the HOSTCRAM VPS is too high specs for me, I wouldn't be able to make full use of it. Would you please choose another winner? Sorry for the trouble

No problem, I'm sure someone else will be happy to have it.
If there are still unallocated servers (because multiple people had a preference for the same machines), there will be additional rounds for each unallocated server
For each server, all those who expressed a preference for it, along with an equal number of people from the lucky dip pool, will enter a raffle and the top result after sorting using the string "$i-$srv-$BEACON" followed by SHA1 will win, where srv will be adv, hc or sf
There's nobody else who expressed a preference for HostCram, so I'll do a luck dip with everyone who remains:
$ BEACON=5591e1fc8e241a24eecb0f07898d277968288c63fefc2c72e4d62c3269b6ef33 ; for i in jmaxwell Dazzle spiritlhl webkesh ; do echo -n "$i-hc-$BEACON" | sha1sum - |sed -e "s/-/$i/" ; done | sort |head -1

Curry is the best flavour.
Just sent them a ticket to request transfer. Here's the YABS while you're waiting: https://lowendspirit.com/discussion/comment/112566/#Comment_112566

Haven't bought a single service in VirMach Great Ryzen 2022 - 2023 Flash Sale.
https://lowendspirit.com/uploads/editor/gi/ippw0lcmqowk.png
Yeah, at first I think it's the same as 4 cores / $7.99 BF spec. But when I read carefully, oh it's 8 core !! This one, definately .
Doh! It was literally in the first OP!
I LOVE FREE SERVERS ❤️ ️RALF
But you won something better than a server anyway!
It was the $15.99 BETA spec, but reduced to $11.99 for Astro's birthday.
Ah wait, it's BETA... so yeah, I was not interested >:D
Thanks ❤️ ralf!
