Lower the price or the maximum amount of entrants. What you're offering is worth less than 75 BTC (I know you take a cut, but still)

Hello Fellow Bitcoiners,

I've been using Bitcoin for a little over three years. I am a bitcoin miner, and have a lot of experience with this whole system.

I am new on bitcointalk, but I have been part of the bitcoin system for a long time.

I've decided to have a raffle for a Sapphire Xtreme 5830. This is one of my old GPU's that I used for mining for almost a year. I have upgraded to a 5870 now and am very happy with it.

The reason why I am raffling this GPU rather than selling it on ebay is because I want to give you guys a chance to get a GPU for a cheap price and also have fun on bitcointalk because I am a new user.

The way I will be raffling:
To be part of this raffle you must send .3 bitcoin to 1Q9nyaePYxXhPx3mQFR5SJXobpedmzictG

Before you send the bitcoin, comment that you have decided to be part of this raffle so I can keep track of who is in the raffle. (Put your bitcoin wallet address in your comment so I can match your transaction with your comment)

150 people max. After 150 people it is going to be hard to keep track of this raffle, so I will stop the raffle after 150 people.

Choosing the winner:

I have decided that the way I will be choosing the winner is by using random.org

I will assign every comment a number (first comment will be #1, second comment will be #2)

I will put the total amount of comments I have in the random.org randomizer, and get a random number.

That number comment, will be the person that wins.

______________

I don't know if this has been done before on bitcointalk, but hopefully you guys have as much fun as I will, and don't forget, if you want to have a bigger chance of winning you can comment more than once and send me a separate transaction so I can keep track with the comments. The more times you comment, the higher chance you will have of being chosen.

I know this requires a level of trust, and that is why I have a low price for entering the raffle, but as I said, the more times you enter, the higher chance you have to win a GPU.

Hope you all have fun.

And how are we going to trust you to not run away then? Or simply declaring 'someone' the winner?
And taking a 150%+ cut isn't that cool.

So you've been using bitcoin since shortly after the genesis block was generated? I find that very hard to believe.

Looking at his past posts, even a retard could deduce that he's new to this. 'A lot of experience' LOL

I don't have .3 BTC sadly :(
I would enter this.. but it looks like you've spammed this "Raffle" in the marketplace and this section also.
If you wanted to do this, I doubt you would spam, to get your word across.

To me, it just looks like you're going to run away with the coins  :D
