Bitcoin Forum

---

The globe is marching towards uncertainty, fear and the risk of getting into another greater recession. As far as India is concerned we aren't among the worst affected nations and during this lockdown, I would like to announce the game for the month of April. At the time of writing, bitcoin is currently trading at ~5,00,000 INR / $6,800.

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. With just over 29 more days left for the Third Great Halving Event and since there aren't any historical importance falling in the month of April, I am starting this raffle on a random day. As far as May Raffle is considered, it would start at the first week of May to fill up the slots as fast as we can before the halving event and we would be surely rolling by BLOCK #630,000. I believe this is one of the greatest historical importance, the day when bitcoin block rewards will be halved to 6.25BTC per block.

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 '4' as their spot and I have chosen block #625819. Here the hash of the block #625819 is 0000000000000000000e1089abf14e4643daef0479c7686f4d3b1fab253f2ac4 which determines that 4 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 500 INR which is much better)

As per rules, they are mostly the same as followed in the previous raffle topics

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.

BTCump. 2 more spots to be filled before we roll!  :o Been a little bit busy for over 3-4 days and didn't have any time to check for the happenings over in the forum.

That's a kind gesture CryCrptoCry. If you tend to win the raffle, I will hold on the 0.001BTC and I will either roll 2 blocks next month or probably select 2 winners from the same block with last 2 hash characters determining the winning spots.

With that being said, the next month raffle would be starting up in the first week of May and the halving block will determine the winner. Thanks to everyone for making this a lively one each month.  :)

Come on guys, just 2 more slots.  Such few Indian members here?? Remember it's FREE to enter!

Ok. I'll take 4.

8 for me.

We're full Hunter saab, let's roll !!  ;D

Smart enough.  ;) If you tend to win the raffle, will hold on the prize amount and run it for January 2021 or will pick 2 winners in the following months.

And we are finally full. These three months raffle will hold a special place in the history of Indian bitcointalk community (with March, April 2020 being the months which were run in the lockdown due to a global pandemic and May 2020 being the Block Halving Special Raffle where the winners will be determined with the halving block hash).

Let us roll with Block #627750 and decide the winner. Good Luck to everyone who have participated. Stay Home and Stay Safe.  :)

#627750: 0000000000000000000276e094a7e1aab8fc40a7f09ee0c3f127211fd2c01970

0 - amishmanish wins!

Congrats bro!

Thanks for helping out in determining the winner kabit9.  :)

Seems like force is strong with you finally!  8)

Please post the BTC address, so that I can PM DarkStar_ for the payment. Thanks to everyone for participating in the April Raffle. As of now, ragavancoin, sureshnsnet, iram3130, Rohan Kotkar, amishmanish wouldn't be able to participate in May Block Halving Raffle  8) as they have won previous month raffles.

The Special Block Halving Raffle will start in the first week of May and would be rolled only in Block #630,000 even if the all the spots fill up on the first day of announcement.

Noiceeee

That wud be something...

I WON..I WON...YAYY.. ;D
Although i missed the alignment of the stars by over a week i guess. Yet, luck seems to be doing alright. We had a minor storm around our place and a lot of trees tore themselves apart. My car escaped with a few scratches despite a few fallen branches. Thank you H. Here's my address:

Whats the reward for this? As it is quite a milestone, we can try to increase the number of slots as well as the number of prizes. As the reward will reduce to 6.25, we can use that number. 0.00625 as total split into 0.003 + 0.002 + 0.0015 for three prizes. I can sponsor the first prize for this..Someone else take second. We already have 0.001 from the normal raffle. Is it doable?

Edit: I am not sure if we have enough time or enough qualifying participants for this.

Congrats  :)
