Title: Bitcoin Lottery -Teenage developer/co founder?
Post by: jdeepee on February 16, 2015, 04:58:12 PM
Hi my name is Josh Parkin, I am 16 years old and have a huge interest in Bitcoin. Around a year ago I came up with the idea for a decentralized Bitcoin Lottery for the main public body (Tech Free). Since then I have been to a few Hackathons and Co-Founder events and developed some very strong contacts along with some very detailed plans of how the Bitcoin lottery would work and how the code would be written. I also have some sketches of what the website may look like. All this can be found below. So what am I looking for? Well I need a Co-Founder, Bitcoin being a very new and up and coming technology has led to me finding that all the contacts I have made, have their own ventures. I hope to find someone of a similar age to me with a similar enthusiasm and interest who may want to pursue this idea with me, it is crucial they are of a similar age to me as I can relate to them and interact with them more easily. If you yourself are interested or may know of someone please email me below! Thanks!

You might be interested to know that a decentralised blockchain Lottery already exists (using Automated Transactions or AT which you can read about here: http://ciyam.org/at).

Although AT is not yet on any Bitcoin clone yet (it is live on Burst though already) a bounty has been put up for that (of 20 BTC) and a suggested way that this could be achieved (requiring just one new op-code for Bitcoin Script) has been outlined.
