May I suggest you keep your password safe this time?

Me too! I've never eaten this much popcorn while reading a thread online

Interesting question. @rekcahxfb_authentic : do you have any plan for this? A pre-announced list of addresses with a provably fair method to pick a winner? There's a lot of speculation on how this will turn out. It would be nice if you can post in that thread.

^* Pool is my account. It's an experimental Lottery Pool. This is how it works: 6 people have sent 1 mBTC ("/tip Pool 1" in Rollin Chatter Box) to Pool. For 6 consecutive draws, Pool buys 10 Lottery Tickets. Yesterday was the fifth draw for Pool, and it won 6 mBTC. Pool has sent 1 mBTC to englishflavor, Tipjar, Humberbot, mowin90, Humbertin19_ and Loyce.
For tonight's draw, Pool has 10 Tickets again. Tomorrow Pool will open a new round.

Tell me, what law did he break? Following a Smart Contract with "code is law" rules? I would be very interested to see that lawsuit develop.
The only ones who - in my opinion - did anything illegal are the ETH-founders who forked to safe their own money.

After typing all this (below), I only now see you have a signature designer in .. wait for it .. your signature!

Can you just add another one behind the current lines? Something like this:

Get a secure 1Pretty3icg1 Bitcoin Address for free. ■█■ Avatar and signature space for free.


It may work better with center-tags:


I'm not sure how wide a signature can go, and it may be different in a different browser. If it wraps the first line to the next line, the third line may disappear.

Either way, thanks so far! I've made a few more vanity addresses for people.

Good luck!

Can you back this up with solid data? I think you can't!
What happens is you play much more small bets, and win a lot of times, but quickly forget the losing bets, because it's small amounts. When you play big, your chances are still the same, but you remember the losses much longer.
Statistics aren't intuitive, and "feeling" a certain way doesn't necessarily mean it's true.
If you would have carried out a full statistical analysis, you would have posted the data, so I assume you didn't.

1000 BTC is 0.006% of all Bitcoins. That could mean $0.01 on the exchange rate. It's a tiny amount, just like 1000 Bitcoins is a tiny fraction of the total.

Producing the private key is not possible. And if it would be possible, why take the BitcoinEater-address holding 13 BTC, when there are addresses with 141,000 BTC?

I typed a bit about this just 2 days ago.

You can create your own Proof of Burn-address here.

The list from Patrick349 are just addresses with balance. For some reason someone sent 0.001 BTC to each of them in one transaction.

blockr.io allows to search with only a small part of the address. If I search 1Bitcoin, it gives 1BitcoinEaterAddressDontSendf59kuE (I guess it's the highest balance starting with 1Bitcoin).
Blockonomics gives a few more options. I'm still looking for a site that shows all (used) addresses starting with a certain string.

No need to wonder, you can just look it up in blockchain. That's about $7000 including fee 3 days ago.

Thanks!

Google doesn't provide an instant solution, so it may not be easy.
Maybe doublemore can send a small amount from the original addy to guitarplinker as proof of ownership?

If you don't read the OP (or your PM) I can't help you. Everything you need is in there.

This is an unlikely one, so I did a case insensitive search for you.
Case sensitive would take a full day for 50% chance, which is too much for this giveaway.

Pattern: 1teemus

I don't think the odds are the problem. In a "normal" lottery, (most) people don't even know the odds. They also don't know the house edge (which is huge!). All they care about, is how high the jackpot is. If it's $300 million, people buy much more tickets than when it's $3 million, even though the odds are much worse.
For Bitcoin, there aren't enough users to make a huge pot, and you won't get enough users without the huge pot.

Congratulations Tipjar for winning 27 mBTC.

Maybe he overlooked this topic? Although I assume you sent him a PM, as you did to me, and that's hard to overlook.

I agree. Getting 1kBTC in possibly stolen money will cause a lot of sleepless nights, figuring out what to do with it, and hopefully getting some legitimate profit out of it. Edit: finders fee, reward, or hey, it may not (all) be stolen after all. Either way, I see no harm in joining this.
Although I can dream about having that kind of money, I'm mainly just curious what happens. Seeing 1kBTC burn would be an amazing development too.

The current account-owner is now contradicting his earlier post:

I've been involved in a Bitcoin Lottery recently, so I'd like to share my experiences.
The Lottery is ran by a Bot in rollin Chatter Box. I've explained the details on my blog: RollinGames.

Short summary: 1 mBTC is the minimum amount to buy 10 Tickets, 1 winner takes all. Later we may change it to a few prizes, depending on how popular it gets.
It has zero house edge, and (as a promo) often a bonus in the pot, which makes it EV+.
It is possible to donate tickets to other users, and there's also a Ticket giveaway ran by me here on Bitcointalk.

The lowest prize was 5 mBTC, the highest prize was 298 mBTC.

Since it's run by a Bot made by a Mod in a Bitcoin casino, it doesn't need to have a house edge, being a promo is enough. If it ever gets very big we can see how to go from there, but that's not the goal.
When Lottery closes, it waits for 2 new Bitcoin blocks to be found. The hashes are used as inputs for a random number. It's been running for about 2 months now, the aim is to be provably fair, and we welcome anyone to challenge the current implementation. So far that hasn't happened.

Indeed, a Lottery doesn't have the appeal of for instance gambling. It's great fun to watch in a Chat though, but only as something that runs on the side.

Do you mean a fixed pot and an unknown number of tickets? That could be very interesting, but I think you'll be losing money when you try it.
