How much will shipping be to the Netherlands?

Glad you mention, I've thought about that. 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.

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.

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. Wink

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? Smiley

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. Tongue
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? Smiley

Hello everone,
BTC For.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:
  • Zero fees
  • Instant payments
  • Fixed drawings
  • More chances to win / reduce your cost!
  • Fully anonymous! No emailaddress needed

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:

Round numberWinnersEvery user gets
10200.05 BTC
9180.05 BTC
8160.06 BTC
7140.07 BTC
6120.08 BTC
5100.10 BTC
480.12 BTC
360.16 BTC
240.25 BTC
120.50 BTC

Sounds good, right? If you want more information you can take a look at the site: BTC For.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. Smiley

did someone kidnap our last winner? he/she hasn't responded yet.

I certainly didn't.  Cheesy Have you taken a look at my previous suggestion? The one about the countdown?

Besides that, can't you implement an IP address check to prevent users from creating multiple accounts? Shouldn't be that hard...
7  Economy / Marketplace / Re: Introducing: Bitcoin Prizes (Free Bitcoins) on: June 14, 2011, 09:27:35 PM
I know, I don't really need it, like I said, I was just kidding. Wink

But I was serious about this part though Smiley:
I love this concept, keep it up. But, since the site is so fancy and good looking I'm sure that you've got a lot of development skills, and in my opinion it shouldn't be to hard to create a countdown adjusted to the time of the user (is it?). It is pretty confusing and I still don't know at what time the winner is chosen (GMT +1).

It's amazing! We killed 7 blocks in the past 3 days! Really going fast, I got more than 1.3 BTC of those blocks!

Pure awesomeness!

Okay, I've been in there from about 100 users. And never won!  Angry

Just kidding, I'm not mad! Tongue I love this concept, keep it up.

Indeed, I think he's trying to scam some users.

My advice, don't buy them. An hour ago he didn't know how to get Bitcoins, seems impossible to have gathered 10 in the meantime.
11  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 5830's back in stock at Newegg - $110 Shipped on: June 13, 2011, 06:23:44 PM
That's a pretty neat deal. Over here they are about 100 euro's per card... Newegg doesn't ship to the Netherlands, does it?  Grin
Hey I'm in NLD too and I got my 3 at Alternate for 94 each. Otherwise, you could get them from Germany for 88 Euros each... have a couple friends there that will get me some.

Thanks,  but shipping costs make it go over the 100. Wink It's at 4AllShop 'only' 97.27 including shipping. Not worth talking about.  Cheesy

You're new, you don't understand it, you want to buy BTC and you want to sell BTC.

My advice: Start gathering information until you understand it, then make up your mind...

14  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BTC Transaction fee of 0.01 for a 0.02 Send? on: June 13, 2011, 05:18:54 PM
The fee system is strange, and not very transparent.  It will probably improve soon.

When you try to spend, your client gathers smaller amounts from your wallet to total more than you are trying to spend, then sends the amount you want to send to the recipient, and the change to a new address in your wallet.  The more transactions it has to gather, the bigger the block will be.  If the block is large, and the transactions are low priority (age increases priority), it will attempt to include a fee.

Other nodes also check incoming transactions, and they may refuse to relay your transaction if it is large (in bytes, not coins) and/or low priority and doesn't include a fee.

Nodes and miners are free to change their own local rules for accepting and relaying transactions, but this isn't currently easy since it involves recompiling the client, or using an alternative client.  Again, this will be improving soon.

I've been cashing out my mining earnings a lot, and all are kind of below 0.10. Do you recommend to cashout bigger amounts to prevent the fees? (For example 0.50?).

Also, what is called 'mature'. When it has 1000 verifications? Or 500? Etc.

Thanks for clearing something up though. Wink
15  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How many newbies are mining? on: June 13, 2011, 05:15:52 PM
I've been mining since a week at 300 Mh/s. I'm planning to buy another video card and slowly expand my mining gear.

I've made 2.46 BTC and participated twice in the BTC lottery, lost 0.21 and won 0.16. Sad
16  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Newbie restrictions on: June 13, 2011, 05:11:16 PM
the 50 post rule was good and might have actually helped clean up the other forums.  This new policy will do nothing and the other forums are already full of spam. 

I disagree, I for example don't post a lot but I've been browsing this forum a lot as a guest. Now I want to participate in a specific topic, or gather information about my ideas I am limited to those 5 posts and 4 hours. If I had to post 50 posts, I would end up leaving, since I'm not a spammer...
17  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: BTC Transaction fee of 0.01 for a 0.02 Send? on: June 13, 2011, 05:09:02 PM
I'm not sure how this system works. Sending something bigger than 0.01 (for example 0.10) it asks for a 0.01 fee (why?). And if I want to send 1 BTC it asks for a 0.04 fee, 2 BTC asks for a 0.05 fee. I've disabled it in options, so it's kind of weird in my opinion... Especially because the fee just will be added on top of the 50 BTC that is earned by finding a block.
