## 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](https://zfnd.org/zconvi/), during _[The State of Zcash in 2025 with Jack Gavigan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=El59GnEA1FY&list=PL40dyJ0UYTLIIhRk8vu2hkPL_q7OWO7wk&index=1)_, the shielded address [viewing key](https://electriccoin.co/blog/viewing-keys-selective-disclosure/) 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)` ZEC
> 
> Send 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 **4 ZEC** for every incorrect guess and **20 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.
