Just today it was announced in the Discord channel that there is now a Master Node competition going on for the next 10 days.

The competition idea is to get Telos nodes to spread all around the world to have a more stable network.

To achieve this, or to at least find out the current situation, anyone with a Telos node can now win 1000 Telos, as long as it is located in a country that hasn’t been listed as a winner yet, excluding Germany, and as long as we are talking of a VPS or own server, so that excludes Blueboxes out of the competition as well.

There is one winner per country, but the same person can win a prize from several countries if he is the first one to tell that he has a node running on a country that has not been claimed yet.

However, it is not enough to just say that you have a node in some country but you need to prove it, and in addition, this node must have been running for at least 7 days.

However, since this is a 10-day long competition, it means that you could actually set up your node to one such country that has not been claimed yet and then 7 days later claim that prize, supposing of course someone else does not do that before you.

To prove that your node has been running for 7 days, it has to be seeable through https://masternodes.online/ or https://explorer.teloscoin.org/ or https://masternodestats.info/

And to claim for a win, you need to do that in the Community Discord I suppose, or at least that is where the first ones have done so.

At the time of writing this, which is roughly 1 hour after the competition was announced, 5 countries have been claimed so far: the USA, Canada, France, Finland, Poland.
