I turned on my computer a few minutes before the presale started and while it crawled to life I saw on my phone that packs were selling fast. I quickly bought 10 packs using my phone. I was relieved that it went through on my phone because I don't have hive keychain installed on my phone. I use my laptop if I want to do anything requiring those keys.
When the Splinterlands team made this post
@splinterlands/riftwatchers-success-debrief-request-proposal-and-future-sale-plans
I got worried. I knew that I was pretty close behind the start of the presale, but I didn't know if I made the purchase within 1 minute 39 seconds of the sale starting.
Yesterday I made a post airing this concern and got a helpful reply from , so huge shoutout and many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Their recommendation was to go to hiveblocks.com/@youringamenamehere and see if my purchase was before block 67936464 which was the block where the presale sold out. I found the transaction but did not see any indication of which block it took place on. I did see where I could type in a block number at the top search bar which got me here https://hiveblocks.com/b/67936464
If you type in https://hiveblocks.com/b/67936464
you can see all the transactions that took place in block 67936464 which is the block where the presale ended and the general sale began. So if you want to know if you made the cutoff, go to that page click ctrl f and type your IGN. If your purchase was on that page then you were right at the edge of the presale and I don't know if you made the cut.
If I had to guess the straw that broke the camel's back then it would be 's $10,000 purchase (that was the largest in the block)
but it may have been the first purchase on that page.
If your purchase wasn't on that specific block then you can go to the top right of the page and click Prev
to look at block 67936463 and repeat ctrl f with your IGN. Repeat this process until you find your transaction.
I found my little purchase in block 67936461
so I made the cutoff with less than 10 seconds to spare.
If you go all the way back to block 67936430 then you've gone too far because that block was before the scheduled start of the presale. The next step would be to go back to block 67936464 and at the top right of the page click Next
If you find your purchase on a block number higher than 67936464, then your purchase may have been too late to qualify for the promo card airdrop and your remaining hope lies with the proposals that the Splinterlands team made in this post
@splinterlands/riftwatchers-success-debrief-request-proposal-and-future-sale-plans
I hope this post offers some reassurance to some poor worried soul. I was very relieved to have made the cutoff. I am planning to vote for the proposals if I can figure out how to do that.
If you want help figuring out whether your purchase made the cutoff then you can say so in the comments and I'll try to help.
Did any of you find out that you didn't make the cut? Do any of you know where to go for the Tower Defense presale that's supposed to start tomorrow? I'm hoping that there will be some answers in today's town hall.
Until next time, I'll see you in the game.
