Title: Buy a Avalon. Only 1 BTC. (raffle)
Post by: candoo on July 11, 2013, 09:52:51 PM
Win a Avalon! Ticket only 1 BTC


I cant get the resale price I wish for my avalon. So Iam trying to organize a raffle.

Each Ticket costs 1 BTC and gives you the chance to win a 3 Module Avalon with up to 83 Ghash/s. Worldwide shipping with DHL Express.

Your  Chance to win is 1/250 per tickt.

Send 1 BTC to ->  1PJDM7TVoCfEkVNHri6zd2P51wj3sp6rps

If you want to purchase 2 Tickets then DONT sent me 2 BTC. Instead send me 2x 1 BTC.

Why?

I will use the transaction ID to find the winner of the avalon.



How will I calculate the winner?

The winner ticket is calculated with your Transaction ID and the block Hash of a not yet generated block.

How exactly does that work?

Lets take this block hash as an example:

000000000000006d5294079c891aa6d24f1816b5f53b56c228ca47cedc87a7b2

We cut the block to the first 4 digits and remove all letters. The hash should look like that now ->

000000000000006529

The lucky number is now 6529.  I will then search all 250 Ticket hashes for the same number in the hash.  If theres no ticket/transaction hash with a "6529" in it, then we cut the last number of.

The lucky number would be 652 then.

If your transaction hash is ba82b38a2375652791e1366c5ce9b14fb8a17ea4fe42607ac3abaa9253eaf9e0 then you would be the winner by now (there is a 652 in it)


If we dont find a match, then we will wait for the next block and pick another lucky number. If there a two winners then we will dismiss it and also wait for the next block with the next lucky number. We repeat this as often as we need to find a winner


The Raffle wont finish until I've sold all 250 Tickets. I expect to have them sold within 7 days.




Block 247100 will the first Block to pick the winner. But only if I've sold all 250 Tickets.  If we dont have all tickets then we will wait for block 248000  or 249000




Feel free to take a look at my Trust Ratings. I wont scam anyone here. I will ship the unit.( yeah I get a great price for it, but its lot of work for me)

hmm so you couldnt get the 250btc you wanted so instead your gonna have everyone pay 1btc for a shot to win it. Which could take years as you wont pick the winner until you get 250btc.

Do you have the Avalon in hand?

Will you put a hard end date for this raffle at which point you will refund the tickets if 250 have not been purchased?

How will you decide specifically which block hash is used (for the first lucky number)?

Thanks.

I can confirm that he does indeed have that Avalon in hand.
