Wait, crap, 36 wasn't the answer, sorry...okay, the answer was 39, I'm sorry...I'm going to come up with a new rule and number
22  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: First to guess my number wins 0.005btc on: June 07, 2013, 01:02:04 AM
Nope, sorry, also, one guess per person
23  Other / Beginners & Help / First to guess my number wins 0.005btc on: June 07, 2013, 12:58:41 AM
My number is a number between 1 and 50 that is either divisible by 3, or has a square root that is a whole number, but not both.
You can post your address after winning for speed
EDIT: I got 36 and 39 messed up. The new rule is a number that has a prime square root

Well, this raffle certainly went a bit better than my last, now that I have a good system worked out, I will try again soon

Awesome, thank you very much. Ive been wearing out the Btc Faucets, it takes about a week and 1/2 to get BTC0.01. No complaints tho, I also Mine Litecoin at 23khs of 3 cpu's. 1.5Months = 1 Ltc. I know I wont make money but I like Crypto and will continue on maybe I can get lucky and win one of these raffles to get some mining equipment.  At the rate Im goin now it will take about 2 years to generate 1 Btc.  Im excited, already been cussed for wasting electricity the big boys (rigs) could have been using. Im not gonna quit tho.

Thanks again n00ber
Until I got this my new GPU, I was only at about 29khs for LTC, but fortunately I got on FC and DGC and made money from mining those early

Okay, the prize has been sent to n00ber and he has confirmed payment

so did I confirm before the block or what,

Yes, I said you did...Unfortunately you didn't win, sorry

How to confirm for yourself:
the block was 240155, http://blockchain.info/block-index/389768/0000000000000018f8781393be26d0340577650087ddb9987362e9dcdf042ecf
The last two letters of the hash were cf.
Using http://easycalculation.com/hex-converter.php cf is equal to 207.
207 mod 15 is 12
On the spreadsheet, ticket 12 belongs to n00ber

Congrats to (I was wrong, with my math at first, but the winner is still n00ber), you win again...I'd say you're luck but you had 62.5% of the tickets so it was sort of in your favor

I'm still waiting on the next block, after that it will only take a few minute for me to find and confirm the winner
33  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 5 MINUTES UNTIL DRAWING: 150%+ Payout Raffle, Rep building thread on: June 07, 2013, 12:11:26 AM
Got the payment from i3lome, check the spreadsheet linked to in the OP

did I get in on time
A bit late, but I'll let you have it as long as I receive the unconfirmed payment before the next block is mined on http://blockchain.info/, otherwise I will return it when it arrives, thanks, watch the spreadsheet
35  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: 5 MINUTES UNTIL DRAWING: 150%+ Payout Raffle, Rep building thread on: June 07, 2013, 12:05:23 AM
Okay...Ticket sales are closed
Watch http://blockchain.info/ for the next block, 240154, then the winner will be announced

So, did anything happen?
37  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Provably Fair: 150%+ Payout Raffle, Rep building thread--Under 24hrs remaining on: June 06, 2013, 09:07:13 PM
Okay, thanks again for the help...
hambalan, I was going to use the last two numerical digits (0-9)  of the hash, I'm not sure if you got that, but it seems like you probably did and the numbers aren't evenly distributed in a decimal system.

So now I have switched from my system to assign each ticket a number from 1 to 100 and am going to just do what you said. Each ticket has a number starting from zero, and I will take the last two alpha-numeric characters of the block hash and convert them into decimals, then determine the winner by using H modulo T=W, where H=decimal value of last two hash characters, T=tickets sold and W= winning ticket number

Once again, thanks for your help

Okay, 18 hours until drawing...The current prize amount is BTC.155, so .07142 (odds of winning with one ticket)*.155(prize amount)=0.01107=prize if it were shared between ticket buyers. 0.01107/0.005(price of ticket)=221.4% payout, or a negative 121.4% "house" edge
Will anyone buy a ticket now?
39  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Provably Fair: 150%+ Payout Raffle, Rep building thread--Under 24hrs remaining on: June 06, 2013, 01:25:07 AM
Great, the prize is now at BTC0.155 with 14 tickets sold
Anyone else want in?
