Oh my! That is awesome, thanks @uptime and @cociu. I’ll try to be a little more active around these parts, though I am indeed excellent at lurking around... :-)

generated 9.10 k requests in 5.00 s, 2.22 GiB, 1.82 k iops, 455.1 MiB/s
which was after the 84225 from @beagle - but before the 20090526 from @souen (so we'll end the current string for hashing with 84225, and begin the next one with 20090526)
and I shall commence to gather the spoons to do the needful hashery for the current selection shortly
of which I see the first @Baris (#600) looks to be bogus (that is to say, "unconfirmed" since December 2019) - let's not waste time waiting to hear back from that one.
so ... next up is @Piso91 (#235) - who has indeed made a few visits ... last active January 1st. Alrighty then! I'll send them a PM and hope for response within 72 hours
And after that will move on to a true OG (#23) ... omg it's @ITLabs

I'll start the magic numbers for the next selection for signup #900: 389584239
plus a secret to be revealed before the next selection, after signup #900
the secret hashes to: dd4a7df5114bcc9c0c8b506923637e48fb2d5b94a01512c4a11b24758d1ca1b8
Apologies for the delay - I got a bit drunk last night and ummmmm ... found myself challenged to muster the required attention to detail for this very important business.
(shit's getting real here yo!)
no response from @Piso91, so ... next up is OG @ITLabs (!) - I will take some time to compose a proper "hey what's up" PM and then come back to do the needful for SELECTION #999 and beyond ...!
(it's times like these I ask myself: "What Would Nekki Do?" ... Okay, just keep calm and carry on I guess!)
tl;dr: we've been moving just a wee bit faster than originally anticipated, but damn the spammers - full speed ahead!
@uptime said: we'll end the current string for hashing with 84225, and begin the next one with 20090526
the secret is: there was no secret! The only digits submitted before #999 were the 20090526 from @souen

Also, I sent a PM to @ITLabs (backup for previous draw) a few hours ago - really hoping to hear back by the end of the week, let's see what happens.
As for the drawings for #1000 and beyond - we're going to open a new thread for those. Maybe we can take a little time to gather our wits and see if any adjustment to our ... process ... might be warranted.
(I'm thinking mainly about how to account for the recently increasing number of spam accounts - though that particular issue may have been resolved at this point.)

The magic concatenated crowdsourced digits are: 2562852951896884411038506926702020752420420242042018472438753189

The lucky winner is @pascal (member #389) - and as luck would have it, it seems that @pascal is indeed active here.
Assuming they respond to my PM within the next 72 hours to claim the fine fine superfine free for life 1 TB KVM storage prize, then it's a done deal!
(Otherwise we'll move on to the backup selection #584 and after that if necessary #239 ...)
Congratulations @pascal! And thanks @cociu for the generous prize!
Also big ups to all the people who contributed their very best pseudorandom digits to facilitate a fair selection process
I'll start the magic numbers for the next selection for signup #900:
389584239plus a secret to be revealed before the next selection, after signup #900

Thanks to @cociu for the VPS!
Here are some benchmarks:
I am unsure what I'll use the instance for... But I'll find a use
2^80, then take first 10 digits if longer than 10
The all seeing eye sees everything...
As you wish:
python -c 'print(str(2**80)[:10])'EDIT: by the way, 2^420420 + 1 is (probably) not prime
