Title: [ANN} LottoShares Launch - Physical Lottery based in the Caribbean.
Post by: MarkLyford on September 15, 2015, 08:59:43 PM

Sint Maarten, Caribbean— Founder of Della Terra LTD: Michael Taggart and CEO of Banx Capital: Mark Lyford have partnered with Fantasy SXM to create the first open and transparent physical lottery using blockchain technology. LottoShares is set to become a revolutionary lottery system with limitless potential; the first system to operate entirely on a decentralized platform.

Quote
I am extremely interested in furthering blockchain based technology; BitShares technology is the most advanced in that category.  It is by far the most secure and un-hackable platform that boasts the fastest transaction times the financial industry has available providing consumers with peace of mind given the 100% transparency”. - Co-founder: Michael Taggart

This successful group of entrepreneurs strive to provide a safe, legal, and efficient gambling experience. LottoShares wants to give the public complete freedom of their finances in an intelligible way by offering options to those that are unbanked.

LottoShares is bringing a new methodology to the table.The public is able to help this venture blossom from start to finish. In return for the contribution, one would receive “digital ownership” of LottoShares, which will get 25% of the net profit from a physical lottery residing in beautiful St. Maarten.

LottoShares Distribution Chart


With the 100% transparency, Lottoshares tokens can be distributed, transferred, or sold globally. This time-sensitive abiding technology makes the saying “instant winnings” truly a reality.

Quote
There are only 500,000 LottoShares available to the public and these shares will be purchased back with real earnings from a real physical lottery business. When the Fantasy Lottery becomes more successful, the share value should continue to increase each month. 

Michael continued the thought with, “The buyback of shares will decrease the availability of shares to the public resulting in an increase of value. Holders are aware that this continual buyback of shares which can positively affect the overall value. What can happen will be very interesting indeed”.

LottoShares is set to launch this week. Lyford and Taggart have expressed their excitement to increase the awareness of this continually innovative opportunity. The money raised during the contribution phase of the LottoShares launch will go to the expansion of operations, employment increase, and the cost to transfer this lottery onto the Bitshares blockchain platform.

The problem is that there is a coin with that name:   https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=694341.0

and you dont could use the same name.

This one is a User Issued Asset on BitShares.

The stand-alone coin was abandoned by its developer (FreeTrade) back in January.  He said the algorithm didn't work.
Looks like a couple people who like to mine dead coins restarted mining it in June.

Do dead coins tie up a great name forever?  Who has "salvage rights"?

Let's see which of the two rebirth strategies has legs...   :)

Yeah, I remember now: The  old LottoShares  had a Bug which the dev couldn't fix, Anyway use the same name of another dead or alive  coin can cause this type of confusion, Finally the couple of people that restarted mining it in June could be considered an takeover or so in that case they could use the name because is the same coin. On that case the name of Issued Asset on BitShares  could use another name.

 @MarkLyford:    Lottoshares tokens are not distributed yet, So I guess that you can change the name. Or not?

Will we be able to trade Banx or BTS for LottoShares or will it strictly be Bitcoin and/or Wire ?

This looks awesome...investing :)

It's this "real world" approach to getting non-crypto people involved in crypto that I love...getting people to use crypto almost without realising it.

The BitShares Exchange Network will provide all kinds of different assets to trade with via one or two hops.

Not all will have the same market depth, of course.

I think it's one of the most interesting blockchain projects going on at the moment with massive potential.
Getting NEW people into crypto is key, and this will do exactly that.

I got an email from them a while back that said this project will no longer be proceeding. You can either invest in their other project or receive a refund by contacting their support team  :)
