Title: [NEW] Unique lottery - BTC For.me Post by: NLCJ on June 30, 2011, 11:46:05 AM Hello everone,
BTC For.me (http:///btcfor.me/) is a lottery I've created my own in the past week / two weeks. The unique feature of my lottery is that there is a fixed time when the drawings are done. For now it is in 'beta', so I have to trigger the selection manually (trigger only - it selects the winners automatically). Due to that you might see an error for a few minutes (15 if I'm not mistaken) after the countdown went to zero. Nothing to worry about, after a few successfull winners I will make it 100% automatic. So why should you join my lottery instead of others? I'm glad you're asking, my lottery has some unique features, listed below:
How are the winners selected? All winners are randomly selected. We've got an unique system with 'rounds'. Everytime the script runs it creates 10 rounds. With 2 * roundnumber winners. That means that there is a total of 110 winners (!) each drawing. The total amount will be equally spread across all the rounds. So every round gets 10%. This amount will be split to the winners. You'll get something like this:
Sounds good, right? If you want more information you can take a look at the site: BTC For.me (http:///btcfor.me/). If you've any questions, don't hesitate to ask them here. Regards, NLCJ Note: I've set up the domain just a few hours ago, maybe your DNS isn't updated yet. I've tested it from several IP addresses and everything seems right. :) Title: Re: [NEW] Unique lottery - BTC For.me Post by: bitlotto on June 30, 2011, 12:45:56 PM I'm assuming everyone gets a unique address to send the payments to?
Are you going to list all tickets prior to the draw? It looks interesting but some may not like how the "system" just decides. Can be manipulated. I guess for the size of winnings though, its probably good enough. Interesting! Title: Re: [NEW] Unique lottery - BTC For.me Post by: NLCJ on June 30, 2011, 01:23:59 PM Everyone gets an unique address, as soon as they open the page. Another new address is created the next day, if revisited again. I can list an amount of tickets, but I cannot give an exact list since it stays in the database based on the IP address and Bitcoin address. It wouldn't be anonymouse if I did it like that, would it? :)
Ofcourse manipulation is possible, but I can assure you it's not happening. The only thing I can do is give you my word, I cannot publish the code since it's my code. :P I don't know if it's clear, but there will be a ticket for each 0.1. The system will start and select 20 random winners, these are paid and those tickets are removed from the possible winners. So if there are 200 tickets, the next round will select 18 winners from 180 tickets. The round after that one will select 16 winners from 174 tickets. It goes like this for 10 rounds. Any questions? :) Title: Re: [NEW] Unique lottery - BTC For.me Post by: bitlotto on June 30, 2011, 01:41:24 PM ah, you may want to fix the page then because I could see people sending payments before they insert their address and click update. Some may pay without inputting their address and you'll have no idea who it was. They'll lose their money.

Some may pay without inputting their address and you'll have no idea who it was. They'll lose their money. You have exactly 24 hours to update your address, besides, it will check the database based on your IP address if it had any earlier investments. If it did, it will use that address. My total idea was: "An unique total automated anonymous lottery", and without filling in forms etc. That's why you get your payment address. All payment addresses are bound to an IP address (you can try), so if they send a payment and come back later, they will still have the same address and the opportunity to update their address. ;) Title: Re: [NEW] Unique lottery - BTC For.me Post by: bitlotto on June 30, 2011, 02:54:00 PM ah, you may want to fix the page then because I could see people sending payments before they insert their address and click update.

Some people use proxies and TOR especially if your goal is an "anonymous lottery". You'll have multiple people looking like one. Someone is going to get their address changed.

However, I thought that if you connect using Tor only ONE user gets that IP address? Correct me if I'm wrong, because I already prevented that from happening if this is true.

The TOR exit nodes will access the internet for many many people. All from the same server. Same as proxies. |
