A Shielded Prize
At the beginning of our ZconVI Clip Games, the prize is kept in a shielded Zcash address.

On the first day of ZconVI, during The State of Zcash in 2025 with Jack Gavigan, the shielded address viewing key will be shared, allowing everyone to discover the starting prize value for themselves, together.
Meanwhile …
I’m calling upon you, Zcash lovers and addicts, to help grow the prize to a fantastic degree in hopes of a big reveal and a spectacular start to ZconVI.
Get in on this action!
These prize-raising games will run from the time this post is published until I share the viewing key during the first presentation of the live event.
Make It Rain!
You: Send 1 ZEC
Me: Add 0.05 ZEC
5 ZEC Bandit
You: Send 5 ZEC
Me: Add 0.5 ZEC
What Number am I Thinking?
The first transaction to the shielded address holding the prize has a value that is:
(>= 0.10 && <= 0.15)ZECSend a shielded transaction with a 2-digit whole number value that is 100x the value of my transaction and include your return address in the memo.
Guess the correct number? You get your money back!
AND THEN?! I will add 2 ZEC for every incorrect guess and 10 ZEC to the prize for every correct guess.
Prize-raising games will conclude with the sharing of the viewing key, which I will mark using a memoed transaction to the prize address before managing reciprocal contributions and return transactions.
