Title: [CLOSED] Brought to you by Cheaper In Bitcoins . com Post by: Xenland on October 12, 2011, 09:22:39 PM I want to start a raffle to promote cheaper in Bitcoins, I don't want any of the cut out of the funds I just want to host it. I'm open to suggestions so let me know your thoughts but my idea is to required 1BTC per ticket sent to and address and the winner takes all(or maybe 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners what do you guys like?)

Title: Re: Cheaper In Bitcoins - Raffle Post by: edd on October 15, 2011, 12:38:00 AM Your posts are confusing. Is it a raffle or is it a lottery?
Title: Re: Cheaper In Bitcoins - Raffle Post by: Xenland on October 15, 2011, 06:08:18 AM Whats the difference?
Title: Re: Cheaper In Bitcoins - Raffle Post by: Xenland on October 15, 2011, 07:38:09 AM The only time i get money is if someone over sends; besides that the whole point is to promote cheaper in bitcoins

You haven't mentioned anywhere what the prize is. Title: Re: Cheaper In Bitcoins - Raffle Post by: Xenland on October 15, 2011, 04:06:38 PM Well I guess I kind of assumed that it was obvious the prize is how ever many tickets are purchased.
If I can't use the money and this is a raffle the the prize must be the money pot. But your right I should have probably mentioned that. Title: Re: Cheaper In Bitcoins - Raffle Post by: Xenland on October 15, 2011, 04:22:08 PM Updated!

Maybe it just didn't get a lot of traffic due to the forum it was posted in. Title: Re: Cheaper In Bitcoins - Raffle ( 5 BTC pot ) 1st,2nd,3rd place winnings Post by: Xenland on November 02, 2011, 09:08:45 PM Well you follow through, so maybe next time you hold a raffle more people can get on board. Maybe it just didn't get a lot of traffic due to the forum it was posted in. Thanks thats a good point, I just might hold another raffle with stakes a little bit higher. I think a lot of it is uncertainty everyone is/was really use to the price being always above the $8-$10 mark and are experiencing "spending anxiety" Title: Re: Cheaper In Bitcoins - Raffle Post by: brendio on November 02, 2011, 10:02:54 PM the rules are.... 7] I will generate 32 numbers and the address that match the most of them from left to right will win 75%, 2nd place winner will win 20% and the 3rd place winner will get 5%.

Scary that you're developing websites that deal with people's money.

Just for the record the first math mistake was a typo not a math error...

Just for the record the first math mistake was a typo not a math error... Bitcoin fees are 0.0005 BTC. I accept that. Fair enough. But it's clear for anyone who cares to check the calculations that there is an error. You paid 1st place 0.1 BTC too much and 3rd place 0.091 BTC too little. I admire your determination to promote the bitcoin economy. You have an entrepreneurial spirit, but maybe you need to take on a business partner to dot the i's and cross the t's, because constant mistakes can erode confidence.

Indeed, you do have a point there. |
