Title: World's SECOND Bitcoin lottery, Slashdot edition, this time stock markets! Post by: Xunie on July 14, 2010, 02:54:38 AM Well, I'll be holding world's SECOND Bitcoin Lottery. (Unless someone beat me to it!)
I'll still manage everything myself, like I did last time: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159.0 (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=159.0). This time, we'll use the last 3 numbers of stock index closing prices, that is one number before (left of) the comma, and the two after (right of) the comma. All lots will be checked against all of the stock indices, they're listed below. We will have 3 winners, and the jackpot will be split in 3 for them. When someone wins, that person's lots are removed from the game, so there will be 3 individual winners. To enter, you have to have at least To buy a lot, post the lot numbers you want to buy in this thread and send me a message through the forum's message system. I want you to post your lots you want to buy in the thread because I don't want people asking me to buy the lot. I'll message you back with a Bitcoin address to send me the money to. (So don't send it to my address I have in my signature!) Rules:
Indices we use to select the winners:

Eleven is my favorite number. Title: Re: World's SECOND Bitcoin lottery, Slashdot edition, this time stock markets! Post by: Xunie on July 14, 2010, 03:03:59 PM Okay, when I wrote this yesterday I was really tired.
Today I did some math, and with 1000 possible lots and only 5 lots per person max, this gives enough room for 200 users, which is hard to manage manually. I'm making a website for this. So eh, no one gave me any money yet, so I'm postponing this 'till next week. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up. Title: Re: World's SECOND Bitcoin lottery, Slashdot edition, this time stock markets! Post by: Gavin Andresen on July 14, 2010, 03:18:54 PM Ok.
As long as I get eleven. (it's my favorite number) Title: Re: World's SECOND Bitcoin lottery, Slashdot edition, this time stock markets! Post by: Stone Man on July 14, 2010, 03:23:17 PM You can't, read the rules: Rules:

This kinda shot my mind actually, and apparently my use of the comma/period have been switched. I used to write numbers "1.234,56" instead of "1,234.56", but from now on I will stick to ISO 31-0 by writing "1 234.56". :P |
