Title: Got to play the lottery today Post by: banque on July 21, 2014, 05:31:04 PM So I'm filling some orders we do on Amazon
I pull the invoice to get the shipping label ready, guy lives a couple of blocks from me. So 7 Billion to 100K our city pop the odds to just hit our city, but he's within maybe 100 families of me So 70M to 1 based on world population We probably ship more of that item overseas too, it's a big seller in Asia ASTRONOMICAL ODDS Where's the powerball I feel lucky haha Title: Re: Got to play the lottery today Post by: DjPxH on July 21, 2014, 06:21:32 PM Okay so you actually sell overseas as well, you said? That indeed makes it more improbable. But I'd guess that otherwise it's far more probable than you might think. Most shipments usually don't leave the country and it's not exactly 7 billion potential customers you serve. But hey, maybe you should solo mine for a day if your luck is running hot right now!

Once I started: solo mining on low end laptop running NoThanks-Xenix-Resident_Evil without GPU, ... ;D http://i62.tinypic.com/dz8exi.png Title: Re: Got to play the lottery today Post by: DjPxH on July 21, 2014, 10:10:59 PM Lottery (lotto, EuroMillion, etc) is too easy ...

I always thought about what the mining software must think when you hooked it up to some testnet with a difficulty of 1 or feed it the correct result of a block that it's supposed to find. It's like tricking someone into thinking their lottery ticket won!
