Since the mood on  Willis Blockparty Number 46  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465047.msg62768282#msg62768282) is still pretty quiet, I thought I might be able to pump it up with a raffle!

I am IN and participae in block parties number 46-50 and hereby want to give away a part of the winnings (of course only if a block is found).

The rules are simple:
- There are 5 places to sign up for (block party number 46-50)
- In total, fabulous 30mBTC will be drawn, which will be evenly distributed among the 5 places (i.e. 6mBTC per place)
- The winner is the one who has guessed on a Blockparty in which a block is actually found, so maybe nobody wins at all.
- Individual places can be filled several times, in case of multiple occupancy, the winnings in case of block found will be divided among all
- If a winner is a participant in the respective block party, the individual prize is doubled
- Anyone registered before 08/2023 and with at least 50 earned merits and without negative trust can participate
- participants can only register for one place, no multiple accounts, please be honest.
- Registration for a place is possible until the start of the respective block party.
- Entries may be edited until I have added them to my list
- Payout of winnings is after I have received the winnings of a possible block find myself, the winner needs to mentions his Bitcoin address here in the thread.
- Fees are on me.
- In addition, I reserve the right to change the rules at my own behalf and to distribute any winnings arbitrarily, participation in the raffle does not lead to any claims of any kind whatsoever

That's it. Good luck to everyone!  
Maybe one or the other will take part in the Blockparties (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5465047.msg62768282#msg62768282) themselves.
The sooner the spots there are filled, the sooner there is something to win here. ;)

Thank you, OP!

All of you are added to the list.
Time to start with the understudy of each place. ;)

Did one of you takes part in Willis Blockpartys?!

Nobody else want to fill the 2nd row?

Each spot can be filled any number of times.

I can fill the 2nd row.
I hope I am doing it correctly :)

I guess Blockparty 46 will start soon. After the run started the spot 46 here will be closed.

Right now it is still possible to join the Blockparty 46 (even if it is just for 1 run) which might be interesting for some of you (especially @GazetaBitcoin an @notblox1 ) ;)

Blockparty Run 46 has startet and you can observe it here:

Thanks op!

Run 46 is over, no Block was found.

Is this still open?

 Blockparty 47  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5469060.msg62939351#msg62939351) is going to start soon. Maybe someone wants to join the party... ;)

@bangjoe: i entered you in the list.

Can I still take part in this free raffle?

Blockparty Run 47 is going to start on friday and runs into the weekend. Now it is the last chance to take Part in the Blockparty and maybe also improve chances in this raffle (could be interesting for @woodie).

Bitcointalk Username: mv1986
Blockparty Number: 47

I read the instructions quickly, so I guess there is nothing else I have to do?

Thanks!

I entered you to the list, and yes you are right.
For participation to the raffle there is nothing else you have to do. Except keeping your fingers crossed and hope for block finding. ;)

I hope I win Sir 🥰

Can previous participants pick again? If yes, I'd take blockparty number 50.

Sorry, but regarding to the rules i have to refuse your requests. No 2nd picks are allowed (otherwise everybody could select every pick). And in Addition to that comparatively "new" accounts are excluded from the raffle (in order to make it more difficult for alt-accounts)...

Blockparty 47 has startet now, so that the Slot 47 in this raffle is now closed for new participants.
You can observe the run in willi's thread, now it is just a question of luck. So let's get finger crossed and find that Block. ;)

---

I entered you to the list @suzanne5223.

Blockparty 47 was a strong run that even lasted a little longer than expected.
In the end it still wasn't enough, so the participants in Run 47 as well as the participants for spot 47 here in the raffle came away empty-handed.

But I'm already looking forward to the next run! ;)

Blockparty 48 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5470814.msg63015890#msg63015890) is ready to join.
Maybe now is a good time to join, as for example the difficulty of ckpool is at 127.0 so that a block find could be more probably.

If I understood the rules correctly, this should be OK. If it's not, apologies..

I want to say the same.

Actually i meant the participation in the Solo mining group, but this raffle is open for new participants, too. ;)
Therefore i added you both to the list.

Btw: is seems that the next run is going to take place this weekend an may last a little longer due to highter engagement.

Blockparty 48 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5470814.msg63061817#msg63061817) has started and is going to run over the weekend for about 48 hours. You may check it out in the refering thread.

In this raffle Spot 48 is now closed for new participants. I wish all of us good luck, let's find a block together.

Blockparty 48 is over. Again the bestshare was strong but not strong enough to find a Block.

But after the run is before the run. Blockparty 49 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472104.msg63073573#msg63073573) is already open to join. ;)

Blockparty 49 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472104.msg63073573#msg63073573) is going to start soon, maybe tomorrow or sunday, in any case it should be this weekend.

Last chance to join the raffle for Spot 49 or participate in the solo mining group if you are interested.

What happens after Blockparty 50 and no block is found, any more runs at it @Turbartuluk

I am not sure, but i guess the raffle will be over and nobody wins. Not sure if i pause my blockparty runs or go on.

For the moment just let's wait how Blockparty 49  and 50 will end, 49 is about 75% over, no block still now.

I've just discovered the concept of this raffle. This is very nice! Thanks OP!  :)

I've participated in many runs with Willi, I was lucky enough to be in the run that found a block this year, and I wish you the same luck for your current and future runs!

Thank you, of course i wish us all the same luck while participating. :D
I put you in the list.

Run 49 is over now. Again it was a strong bestshare, but again it was not strong enough to find a Block. Maybe it works in Run 50 as an appropriate ending for this raffle. ;)

Count me in if I'm not too late 🫡

Save the best for last, amirite? 8)

I entered you to the List.

The thread for Blockparty 50 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474019.msg63155429#msg63155429) is already open. As always you are warmly invited to take part there as well. It's not necassary for the raffle but in case of Blockfind winnings would be doubled for participants of the same run.

The Blockparty 50 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474019.msg63155429#msg63155429) has started. Spot 50 in this raffle is now closed for new participants. Hopefully we find a Block, due to transaction fees it would be a nice reward. At least it is the last chance to find a block within this raffle...  ;)

Blockparty 50 is over now. This time the bestshare was not that strong and again no block was found. But at least there was high interest and some solo miner put their power into the pot. A small overview on how many shares were generated by the diligent helpers can be found here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5474019.msg63219805#msg63219805).

As the last Run is through, the raffle therefore is over now without any winners (including me).
I hope you had some fun observing the runs, and maybe we will see us somewhere in the next Blockpartys again. ;)
