The bitcoin lottery style raffle game!

we are going to be deciding the winner. The decision for us to chose it was the community decision

Thank you all for your submissions only 1 Week to go!
We are really liking many of the submissions and the choice is undoubtedly going to end up being a long debate within the team.

Great work and KEEP IT UP!

First, thank you all for your submissions, keep up the good work.

as for selecting the winners it will be based on supportive feedback, what we think will work well for the look of the site.
Also what  a few trained eyes of fellow colleagues IRL(as you put it) think.

As for escrow we are also wanting to demonstrate trust as well as have a logo made and promote the site.
If we can prove that we can select a winner for our logo competition and pay them as planned with no issues,
we would appreciate the +trust on this site, but also recognize that in doing so we are developing trust in our products and services.

We also recognize that we take a great deal of risk on our side not using an escrow as they winner could choose to take the reward,
and then turn around and say they did not receive it. To remedy this aspect we ask that the chosen winner publicize the BTC address
being used to receive the reward and we in turn will be providing transaction hash and link to it on the blockchain.

We strongly believe in an open, transparent community that does not need to worry about extra precious time spending steps, to prove what was
initially trusted upon. Obviously we could have contracted this work out and paid someone straight up. To not only promote the site, but also give
some of our players and fellow community members a role in the creation of the site (portfolio expansion), and to develop some level of trust
we decided to do the contest.

It is human instinct to protect what we have and to question the unknown, we understand this and ask that people do trust us to deliver the contest
reward as we are trusting people to participate. We can not start to equally trust each other mutually if their is always someone holding our hands.
Again if you do choose not to participate, we apologize that you have missed the opportunity.

With the current submissions and our ongoing discussion/ranking we currently do have a winner in mind! but as we all know that could change
with the very next submission.


Thank you again,

Mainly because the art is here.. Its secured.
we will select a winner likely based on feedback from the community... Also.
When a winner is selected we will instantly send 0.2 to btc address of their choosing.
If people choose not to participate in leu of escrow we are sorry you missed out on the opportunity.

Thank you all,

The logo contest is still active, deadline is The 21st of July.

Here is a link to the logo contest ANN

First thank you for your participation, second thank you for your suggestion.

We are currently working on 3 new feature..

-a referral system where you will get a small percentage of your referrals deposits. (hit the nail on the head with that one)
-a more detailed previous games button that will show listings of the past games allowing you to see all participants, their chances of winning and the winner.

the possible third one i would like some feedback on, do you want it? It is going to increase overhead and possibly require an extra 0.5% into the house
- a progressive jackpot that will take 1% from all previous games (from house cut) that will be randomly rewarded to a player at the end of a game who had a single deposit over 0.025
instead of increasing house we can remove the current per game boost that is in place. let us know what you think.

Thank you,

Okay sure we can choose the winner, glad that came from the community!

As far as escrow is concerned, we are giving the winner 0.2BTC and escrow is not really necessary here.

Thank you for the input.

Regards

Bitcoin Oyster

I presume we could use an escrow if everyone would like, please recommend your favorite escrow service. Escrow fees will likely come out of the 0.2 BTC reward, or maybe 50/50 just to keep it fair. We figured if the art was here and community is going to vote the winner, then we would just be sending to the BTC address of winner .

Sorry about that
We have updated the ANN with the links as well!
http://bitcoinoyster.com/

Thanks for the feedback, I just noticed that we had our biggest winner so far at  Ƀ0.16183029
Also, we are going to be running a logo contest today with a bounty of 0.2BTC, will post a separate update for that so please spread the word.
Thanks again for all the support!

Hello Bitcoin Talk,

There are two very important matters I would like to cover within this post.

First of all I would like to send a huge thank you to all the players that continue to support the site and well done to all our winners.

Secondly I am very excited to announce a few added features that have gone live on Bitcoin Oyster specifically for our players!

Updates

• You are now able to confirm transactions by clicking on a TX ID link in the "Previous Winners" tab.
• You now have an easy to read previous winners window that has color coded rows in grey and white.
• You can now see payouts in real time pending or paid.
• You also have a new bonus for the next game, where the average of 1% of all the last games is added to it. This bonus is taken from the 5% house commission and-
  reinvested back into our players. The average amount resets every 24 hours.

Thank you once again to everyone for your continued support.

Regards

Good Luck, I hope you win. Hadn't really thought of the cheap-free advertising opportunity
Yup you are now able to set your name as whatever you'd like.
