I'm a sucker for these raffles apparently... I do really like that coin though. :D

Raffles.. great idea but when many are running at the same time it kind of loses the novelty factor. Anyways, love this coin and would enter if I didn't have one already :P

Maybe, but they are easier for me to keep track of than auctions. I also like the fact that the blockchain decides the winner. Can't get fairer than that! :D

edit - bump  ;D

How about you check his previous raffles? He assigns combinations for everyone, i.e. you have a few combination that will make you the winner. It is actually a clever way of picking a winner as it can not be cheated.


Minerjones these look quite lovely, but I've had to lock my coins down for a while due to buying too many collectibles. Good luck everyone.

You are entered. Please check OP.

And Lauda is correct. Since I only picked 10 and not 16 (which would have included the a-f tickets).
If the block that is chosen does not end in a number, we can either pick the next block OR
I can make everyone have XX amount of entries per ticket and assign each ticket a series of letter and number combinations in order that they would be represented until there is an even amount to coincide with the 10 tickets that were sold. I think this would come out to 256 entries. So for this raffle, each ticket would receive 25 entries.
It is a little more work this way, but much more fun because everyone who enters is getting multiple chances off of one ticket.

Thanks :D

Thanks!

wow never thought it this way! Yeah love this way of doing it! :D

Look forward to it! :)
