I asume winners are selected at random or based on random chance corrected for the up time, right. Otherwise joining the list or setting up a new node right now would automatically not win… and I want T-Shirt

You are correct, joining now will not bring you in Top20.
But, let’s do the following and adjust the current rules a bit:
If more than 20 Users reply here telling us, we have successfully setup a Grin-Node and connected to Grinnode.live, we will add 10 more T-Shirts 
to the winning pool.
- Winners will be randomly chosen from all connected nodes during the 4 week Challenge
- Top20 Nodes can not win any additional T-Shirts
- only non-commercial Grin-Nodes can win any prices.
What do you think about this?

@david, I do not see a grin-server.toml file as part of Grin++. What config file does Grin++ use where I can specify the peers_preferred? Thx.
I just realized I cannot setup additional nodes due to the need for port forwarding for port 3414 
. Since I forward the ports used by Grin to one computer cannot redirect to another, right? I was even thinking of going for three nodes by adding a node running on a Raspberry Pi. Any thoughts on how to circumvent this limitation?
Don’t stop using Grin++ to participate 
But, if you are on Windows I can recomend you setting up a Grin-Node under Windows following my How-To: https://github.com/MCM-Mike/grinnode.live/blob/master/documentation/node/winodws-how-to-run-node.md to run a Grin-Node and connect to us. (not 100% ready but it will guide you through the steps)
You can also share this link and I am writing on an official Windows Grin-Node article here on the main repository: https://github.com/mimblewimble/docs/wiki/(draft)-How-to-run-a-Grin-Node-(Windows) (also in draft state)
As always have fun

I would love to do so, but I cannot run two nodes from the same IP right? Nor additional nodes via the same router since I can only forward port 3414 to a single machine.
To not repeat my self again: " Don’t stop using the Grin++"
Using the Grin-Node under Windows (see my how-to) you can add the preferred_peer .
i have successfully setup 2 Grin-Nodes and connected both to Grinnode.live.
Hard to win when you are late 2 the party but im still gonna try!

Exactly, you can always win an awesome T-shirt. And if you do not win one, you can buy one to ease the pain of not winning. I also put two nodes online.
