Basically I am running a contest where users have to solve a puzzle and the first one to do so wins BTC, the problem is no one coming close and the thread isn't so active so instead of just telling them the answer and rewarding someone for doing no work would it be ok to just end the contest and post the solution with no winner?

yes it will be ok if people hadn't guessed the answer

I appreciate the response man however I would like a response from someone such as a Moderator. No disrespect to you

yup np hope you find your answer

What I would do is set a deadline a couple of days ahead, e.g. something like "I will end this contest after 3 days if no-one has found the solution by then" should suffice.

Welp, Baseplate beat me to it, you should be fine following his advice.

Do as sayed, but if you want you can tell that after 3 days you are giving 5$ (this is minimum giveaway) to random people from contest :)
