Title: [interest check] suicide raffle
Post by: wheelz1200 on January 12, 2017, 05:30:45 PM
What does the community feel about a true gamble raffle, for both buyer and seller.  Would consider raffling off 8 of 16 spots for a loaded coin.  Say the coin is worth .16btc, would raffle off 8 spots for .01btc each, and i would take the last 8 spots.  If someone wins with their slot i lose a .16btc coin for only .08 collected.  Or the blockchain hits my number and i get .08 and get to keep the coin.

Anyone interested in a gamble like that?

It would appear the raffle trend has come back around.  I like this idea, I'd participate.

Sounds like a good idea and something different.
I will keep an eye out for it, any hints on what the coins will be?

I'm probably in, but I have questions.

(1) What kind of coin are we talking about? Most of them have zero numismatic value?

(2) Who's going to run escrow for the coin and all participant payments?

(3) How do we verify that the drawing was legit and fair?

Thanks.

1. My bet is that it will be a lealana blank funded with .16 or a paper wallet funded with .16

2. Are you serious? Are you new? Wheelz doesnt need an escrow

3. Have you ever seen a raffle here before? Have you heard of the blockchain, and how auctions here a block is picked in the future in an uneditted post and the last character of the hash is the winner.

Great questions

1) if you dont think the price is fair, dont buy a ticket.  Thats easy enough right?  Numistic value/loaded value/ and anything in between is a mutual agreement between buyer and seller.
2)escrow.  Most people will trust me here but if you dont i completely understand and if you look at all my sales history its pretty clean.  I always offer escrow and minerjones should be available. .01 would be the minimum fee for the buyer, for his services i would request (when i get around to setting terms)
3) if you dont think the blockchain is fair, this is the wrong place to be.  Im going to use the hash from a block found as the driving number for a winner.  If you dont understand how the blockchain will help i can and will explain further, if you do understand how raffles run here and dont trust the blockchain, then thats another thing.

Will lay out the rules of the raffle tomorrow, free world we live in.  Thanks for your interest.
