10 BTC TOTAL LOTTO, Provably fair, Zero house edge, Draw Friday 13th Sept. at 22:00 UTC (15:00 LA, 18:00 NY, 23:00 UK, 00:00 CET)

An offering, or way of giving back, some of the profits that I was lucky enough to gain on Just-Dice recently & since.

I'm making a provably fair lotto on top of https://just-dice.com to be drawn live there on 'Friday the 13th' Sept at 22:00 UTC (15:00 LA, 18:00 NY, 23:00 UK, 00:00 CET), there will be 100 tickets at 0.1 BTC each numbered from 00 to 99, ticket sales will stop at 5 minutes before the draw is due, if less than 100 sell then l commit to buying up the remaining ones, to mark the cut off time I will send a token 1 BTC to the lotto, any entries received after that will be returned, I will make the total up to exactly 10 BTC soon after.

I will be on JD chat with user ID: 77777 & at the draw time I will randomize the seed a few times, do a few small random bets & then make one JD bet of 3 BTC (so it will also show up in the chat), the resulting first 2 digits of the JD lucky number will be the winning ticket for a 5 BTC first prize, the second 2 digits will be the winning ticket for a 3 BTC second prize & the final 2 digits will be the winning ticket for a 2 BTC third prize, very simple & provably fair.

There is zero house edge so all 10 BTC will be shared by the 3 winning tickets, they will be numbered in the order that they are received on blockchain.info/address/17777777d8aBUWuLggZg9A6BYTDuHJXZhe - please send only from addresses that your winnings can be sent back to, (if you send from multiple addresses in one tx then just the first one will be used), to claim your prize if you win either contact me in JD chat live or post here, no time limit.

Send any multiple of 0.1 BTC to 17777777d8aBUWuLggZg9A6BYTDuHJXZhe & to avoid confusion any lesser or extra amounts will be counted as donations, (ie 0.333 BTC gets 3 tickets & donates 0.033 BTC or 0.01 BTC gets no tickets & has just donated 0.01 BTC to a charity, see last para).

I will list the ticket holder's numbers & BTC addresses here in post #2, if you would like your name added as well then please to include it in the transaction message (easy to add with https://blockchain.info/wallet) or post your tx here, any suggestions are welcome, this is not connected with JD itself but I ran it by dooglus first & he's fine with me doing this (hopefully it will be good publicity & bring new investors/players to the site), I shall ask Deb to lock withdrawals for one of my JD accounts with over 10 BTC in it for two weeks or until after the jackpot is seen to have been fairly been payed out.

In the rare case of Internet/computer failure the draw will be made asap after 22:00 UTC if it's just rebooting or similar needed, but if it's something that takes longer than 10 minutes to fix, like very severe thunderstorms in my locale, then it will be postponed until the same time of the following day but this is most unlikely & should have advance notice in any case.

I realize that 0.01 BTC & 1,000 tickets using the first, the middle overlapping as 3rd, 4th, 5th say & last 3 digits of the LN for the 3 prizes may be more user friendly/popular but am starting in the simplest way & also so as not to clash with others offering the lower entry level lottos, if more than a few tickets to this 0.1 BTC lotto sell then I imagine repeating it once per month perhaps depending on the charity donations.

Why am I doing this? To make the best & simplest provably fair lotto with 100% of entry money going to the winning players, I invest in JD so it is in my interests if this attracts some extra bets there, also for fun - I enjoy playing proven honest lotteries especially at zero house rake! Mostly though in order to support a charity fund that I set up, if you would like to check it out:

This site also serves as a intro guide if anyone asks you for some info about virtual currencies, especially the Home, DIY & Litecoin info pages, any lotto player or winner who makes a donation here will be listed on the site's donor page with my sincere thanks plus the good karma that comes from selflessly helping both Bitcoin & others, pledges welcome.

If anyone would like any specific ticket number, or series of numbers starting from a specific number, then please to add that in a message to the tx along with a minimum of 0.01 BTC donation to the fund & so long as the number/s have not been taken already they will be allocated to you, if taken then you will need to re-choose. If you want to pick some non-consecutive numbers then it's a 0.01 BTC min donation for each one chosen.

My decisions will be binding & will be made as fairly as possible to all players with common sense in the case of any unforeseen events, by participating you agree to accept all the above terms & conditions.

Many thanks & good luck!

Edit to add: Re my rep, forum member since 08 June 2011 with never any problems, many deals & also gifted a lot of coins in free competition & donations, see post #17 for details & links.

there's links in the Stats tab to total wagered per day & biggest bets, wins, and losses, for other data ask doog

YVW KYLE

BTW - This was posted for investors, but may also be useful for those who wanted to remove any of the more obvious temptations to instantly gamble with their funds.

I was watching the live stream, it wasn't faked, congrats kyle! Plus he'd have used a sock-puppet if he'd meant to try & rig it.

It looks better than it really is as I lent that ID 50 BTC more & withdrew them again.



That's the chart just after the big win.



Luckily it took just 27 bets to hit the 1% chance win.

hey doog, looks like you'll need a bigger 'wagered' window soon, the bets one could move left as it has an extra space, or the others move right a little, btw is there a promo for the 1 millionth BTC bet?

doog disables chat posts for newbies overnights PST to prevent spammers I believe, he should be up in an hour or two, when you see him post I expect that you'll be able to as well then

The issue with importing private keys has been fixed I guess as it's now working fine, many thanks

from 2013 08 12 it's a 10% house fee, posted in both threads a week before

Ripple please lock your giveaway thread

I'd hoped that the update would fix this but it's still not working, any news of when the wallet will be able to import private keys again?

I'm unable to 'import directly' private keys to my wallet atm, I've tried with desktop Firefox & on Chrome, this used to work fine but now pressing the Import Directly button doesn't work at all, I haven't tried the sweep option as it's not what I need so don't know if that is broken also or not, any help appreciated.

The correct address shows up & it's balance in the warning window but clicking Import Directly does nothing, the address isn't already in my wallet btw, it's a newly generated vanity one.

Tried on a different computer & still not working, I hope this feature hasn't been disabled just because some ppl don't follow the warning & import insecure shared private keys - if so pse make the warning stronger & re-enable it as it is an extremely useful & necessary feature of the wallets, many thanks.

you gotta outrun photoshop too

but what you said is true re trading though, bear will mostly eat/badly mawl only those last/slow to react.

Most definately a Capricorn as the charts in the OP show.

The fact that the OP has capped sellers atm is a good sign for his honesty, otherwise he would just encourage more & more sellers to send coins until he'd amassed the max possible to abscond with.

I cancelled the next day after receiving the quote, didn't feel right somehow.

Here's the approx amount of BTC staked weekly & 4 weekly so far as taken from the site's daily figures.

When you set it up, get it to make an encrypted (with your password) backup sent to your email & it will send a new one each time that you make a critical change to the wallet I believe, it's probably even simpler than this, so even if you lose your computer if you have access to your email & remember your password then you can restore.
