The First Bitcoin Exchange is 10 years old! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=20.msg265#msg265) Exactly 10 years ago i.e on February 06,2010 a bitcointalk user named dwdollar (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24) implemented his idea of creating the first bitcoin exchange. Before the creation of exchange, bitcoin users were using bitcoin just as a fun freebie token and was worth 1,578.77BTC per USD. Based on the mining charges and the widespread interest, bitcoin got a value in the www.bitcoinmarket.com exchange and was first considered as a commodity!

As I have already said in the ANN topic, these fun lotteries will be hosted each month on a particular day which is of historical significance in the history of bitcoin and today on this day (the creation of first bitcoin exchange) I would like to launch the game for the month of February.

About the Game :

1. This is a pretty simple and quite interesting game, where there would be 16 spots from 0-9 and a-f. Each person should pick one character and post in the reply of this topic along with their bitcoin address.

2. Once all the 16 spots are filled, I will choose one single future block to be mined. For instance person X has chosen 'f' as their spot and I have chosen block #610750. Here the hash of the block #610750 is 0000000000000000000e7027f650de1e79d76cbe93f385d8032f7766df080f6f which determines that f is the winning character.

3. The person who has chosen the correct character wins the prize amount of 0.001BTC (Please note that 0.001BTC is kinda cheaper but in terms of our economy it costs around 650 INR which is much better)

As per rules, they are mostly the same as followed in the first raffle topic

Rules :

1. The game is strictly restricted only to Indian forum members. If you are someone outside India or hailing from nearby countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan or Sri Lanka, you are not allowed to participate in this game.

2. Previous lottery winners cannot participate in the upcoming games for 6 months. Let us give others a chance to win some bitcoins. You can consider this 6 months as a cooling period like if some X has won the game in January, they can participate only in the August lottery.
This rule is applicable for Speculation Game winner as well. Our local community is so small such that I have reduced the period to 6 months. If in future, we rise up to one of the most populated local boards I might change the rule such that the game winners cannot participate in the upcoming lotteries for over a year.

3. There are 16 spots and only 1 slot per person is allowed and more importantly I cannot give you any random spots. Once I have updated the slot in OP, there is no changing of slot numbers. Please see to the filled spots in OP/ have an eye on picked up spots by others before posting your slot number in reply.

4. Newbies are allowed to participate, but you shouldn't have made your first post in this topic and You might have been a old guy but isn't really an active poster.

5. This topic is only for playing the game and all the other discussions and doubts regarding the raffle or future game ideas should be posted only in the Indian Raffle Discussion (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5213474.0) topic.

6. Bounty Hunters are not allowed to participate in the game. Even though if you are from India, the board doesn't need bounty hunters who are chiming here only for profits or earning money from this forum.

Heisenberg here.

Slots have been updated in OP. 8 more to fill up before we roll... Keep the entries coming up!

Thanks for the informative thread H. Lets hope we can find enough people to fill up the spots. Maybe the topic should read something like "Pick lucky number for free BTC" so the few newbies coming into the section can find interest in this. For Indians, "Raffle" isn't exactly the word we identify with. Maybe something simpler like "Lottery"..??

Thanks to you for putting the effort to continue this. I am sure more people will come. I'll take 5

Thanks for voicing your opinion in this game amishmanish. Once you pitched the idea about the Lottery renaming, I got to read threads from some English forums about understanding the exact difference between a Raffle and a Lottery. A lottery is a form of gambling game in which there is always an equal chance for every ticket owner to win the prize (i.e here in this case every ticket owner has 1/16 chances of winning this game) but in a Raffle, each one can buy any number of tickets to increase their chances of winning the game (i.e each one can buy 8 tickets and can increase their chances of winning the game as 1/2).

I have changed the topic title for betterment of this game and for greater exposure to newbies.

And we are finally full nearly after a month of announcing the raffle!  :o

We will roll with Block #619785 and decide the winner. Regarding the March raffle, it might start on a special occasion which is of historical importance to Bitcoin.

Good Luck to everyone   :)

Finally we have a winner for second game!


Your Lucky number has won the lottery!!!

Block #619785 : https://www.blockchain.com/btc/block/00000000000000000000f9b60ec4b45d2b66adca5b0bf8c9439c22352b45b4f7

Last character is 7

Congrats iram3130. Will PM DarkStar_ for the payment.

Thanks to everyone again for participating in this second raffle. The March raffle/lottery will go live sometime later this month.

Congrats iram3130 for winning the raffle.

@Heisenberg I think it would have been more fun if you would have chosen a block which had at least 1 or 2 days time to be mined.
More time would have created more anticipation amongst us and hence it would have been more fun  :P
Anyway, it was fun to be a part of the game.

Congratulations iram3130 you are the one more lucky person here to get raffle game no 2 rewards. But unfortunately I have to wait 6 for months to participate again in Indian reffle game and thank to heisenberg for giving nice reffle game for us.

The prize has been paid (https://blockchair.com/bitcoin/transaction/471c9006caa543bb0c1fb84db89818b8adceb9dbd8dc81ecca2e1852ee970b5b)  :)
