I too am looking forward to the days of ten's of thousands of coins pots with wider mass appreciation of how good a deal this is compared to fiat lotteries, one way of also helping to attract the high rollers may be to reduce the 1% fee for these, so say on single wagers of 1,000 BTC or more when the lotto closed you would still take your 1% fee but would return 0.5% to those who made the fat cat bets* (for 1,000 coins they effectively pay 5 instead of 10 coins fee that would have been paid if it was by multiple peeps), it still brings a decent return & would help to pump the pot up once these whales spot such incredible odds & has no effect on the overall return to anyone else as that remains at 99% if they were to win
Again we may get emotion versus maths as in 2 tier system favors the big spenders, but as it doesn't harm the other punters - only gives them potentially a fatter 99% pot to bet on, alternatively once the pot overall reached over 1,000 coins then perhaps make the rake 0.75% & over 10,000 then 0.5% for everyone, but I like the idea of some whale trawling if you didn't mind the sacrifice
Something else you could do is to make a printable page that could be given to a copy shop to produce advert cards (flyers) so peeps who supported the lotto & saw how it could seriously fuel Bitcoin adaption could do a bit of leafleting on cars parked outside casinos etc when visiting Las Vegas, Macau or Monaco etc
*edit: or just return them their whole portion of the 1% fee, that would certainly gain some attention - perhaps from the media too, you'd still make your 1% from all the other < 1,000 coin bets but would be offering the high rollers unbeatable odds to play fee free

& for both the first Bitcoin block made plus release of the OS BTC client in to the wild we have in the Asian tradition that they are Yang Earth Rat http://www.alwaysastrology.com/chinese-rat.html (there may be better sites, mostly I use books & my notes, but this is a fun write up, especially if you swap Blockchain or Bitcoin for Rat when reading it) The Chinese Rat is a Sign of cleverness and charm. They are generous and fun to have as a trusted friend. They are imaginative and curious. They have a great deal of energy that may manifest itself as restlessness. You have to admit that Rats know how to get things moving. They are constantly thinking and planning. Their organization skills are phenomenal. They get more done in a day than most people do in a week. They trust their instincts and are self-confident. They can be a bit talkative, but most people don't mind because these people are so talented. While the Rat is not a romantic, they are very loving and protective. The Chinese Rat usually has an agenda and they aren't afraid to push it. They can get downright aggressive at times. They are interested in money, and at times greed can be their undoing. When upset they become very nervous. They love a good bargain and will often buy things even if they don't need them just because the price was right. They tend to hoard mementos and souvenirs. They can be very manipulative with their powers of persuasion. Rats have great memories. They make good writers and reporters, though they can be successful at anything they turn their hand to. They are extremely adaptable. One of their biggest faults is that they try to do too much at once. Their natural industry makes them hard workers. They are basically honest souls that will keep someone's information confidential, unless it happens to slip as a juicy piece of gossip. Chinese Rats tend to be healthy, in part due to their active lifestyles. Exercising helps curb excess restlessness and tension, which could lead to health issues with time. They are excellent problem solvers. The Chinese Rat's social charm helps them meet new people. They may have difficulty breaking off a relationship, however. They are very loving and loyal to their family, and make excellent parents. They can be the star attraction at parties and other gatherings, though they prefer more intimate get-togethers with close friends and family. Chinese Rats tend to be most compatible with Chinese Dragons and Monkeys. They are least compatible with Horses, Rabbits and Sheep. Different years are assigned different elements, which can affect each sign. The five elements are metal, water, wood, fire and earth. Earth Rats put down deep roots and offer their families stability. They prefer to live life at a slow, steady pace in most areas of their lives. |

Many thanks indeed! I've edited the OP to show a chart for if it was Tokyo & one for Dublin that seems the most likely atm & which gives a Leo Ascendant ( Rising Sign) |

whats the astro forecast for this week?
just generally & not taking these Bitcoin charts in to account, then I'd say that with Mars & Pluto standing still in the zodiac then appearing to change direction, these both being symbols of strength & energy we may see shifts in the balance of power - perhaps those who thought that they were pulling Bitcoin's strings may find that they've been outmaneuvered (think Wall Street - the first film & also literally). The gloves would be coming off & I'd expect things to get nasty - get the weekend popcorn in. Sparks should start to fly on Saturday & Sunday will be grim for many (forced liquidation being the order of the day I imagine) the aspects being serious, discouraging & a time to need to face present realities  |

isn't it almost certain by now that bitcoin was invented at the university of dublin? does that change the chart much? after all it's close  Dublin would be almost identical to London's - just the moon's position a fraction on. I posted on post 3 an edit to also show the Tokyo chart for if the client was released from there. I enjoyed the bitcoin spaghetti monster |

Satoshi has stated he was 'ok' after the Japan Earthquakes, he suggested he is in Tokyo…
So maybe placing the birth place for the first block in, Tokyo, Japan would be most-correct.
this gives us an even tighter bucket type chart, with the moon in conjunction with Uranus in Pisces, just 4 signs in play https://i.imgur.com/XQxP4.gifchart made for noon local time, or can we get a closer approximation of when the first coin was created? The Bucket will be seen when nine planets are grouped in one half of the chart and one planet, which is called a Singleton, is in the other. These are risk-takers and need to be successful. They will tend to focus their energy in one direction. I like to look at it as a tautly drawn bow or focused lens. |

thanks.
Can you thus infer, humbly, the different influences over the months and years to come?
astrologers would certainly say so, we have the general influences from the birth chart & then they would compare those with the present & future astrological placements called transits & make inferences from those - atm I'm mostly interested in examining the birth chart, but if you go to the site shown on the charts you can easily pull up the free charts for the transits & I'm sure they would be interesting to check out, like when $1 was reached & the $32 odd peek, the back to $2s etc, the various scandels & haxs, TSR story, any major transits coming up etc... |

for the main birth chart, more complete version:
Sun conjunction Mars in capricorn
Sun in capricorn trine Saturn in virgo
Mercury in aquarius conjunction Jupiter in capricorn (interesting to check if Jupiter may have been able to move in to aquarius in that 24 hr period worldwide)
Venus in aquarius sextile Mars in capricorn (Venus also needs checking)
Venus conjunction Neptune in aquarius
Venus in aquarius sextile Pluto in capricorn
Mars conjunction Pluto in capricorn
Jupiter in capricorn trine Saturn in virgo
Saturn in virgo opposition Uranus in pisces
Saturn in virgo square Pluto in capricorn

many thanks for the feedback  the main aspects in the birth chart are the following, moon uncertain unless Satoshi releases the place of birth - though close to where it's shown on the chart (though perhaps still in Pisces is possible? needs checking, if so would make all major players concentrated in to just 4 signs) Sun conjunction Mars Sun trine Saturn Mercury conjunction Jupiter Venus sextile Mars Venus conjunction Neptune Venus sextile Pluto Mars conjunction Pluto Jupiter trine Saturn Saturn opposition Uranus Saturn square Pluto & for the public release of the bitcoin client, different moon aspects - but again uncertain though close to where it's shown on the chart Venus no longer in conjunction with Neptune Sun now sextile Uranus other major aspects unchanged |

& 6 days later, the initial release of the OS bitcoin client https://i.imgur.com/EpSgJ.gifmost all in Air & Earth (crypto/Internets + store of value/currency), in that time Venus moved in to a water sign to join Uranus (Troll away ;-)) edit: Jupiter joining the other guys in Aquarius, where it's happier edit 2: rarely do we see charts so neat, it's almost as if it could have been chosen to be just so... edit 3: those in Air being predominately in a Fixed sign & those in Earth being predominately in a Cardinal sign, Saturn & then Uranus being in the Mutables, it really is very beautiful - see my previous astrological poll thread for more on these edit 4: added the chart for Tokyo release of the client (loses the moon opposition to Pluto), someone asked re Dublin - that would be very similar to London's - just the moon position a fraction on https://i.imgur.com/PlmgU.gif |

Edit 1: Here is a clearer pic of the last chart in this OP for Dublin, Ireland as being the most likely correct one, the other two charts showing alternatives of different possible locations. https://i.imgur.com/4c6Pb90.gifEdit 2: Please see the last chart in this OP for Dublin, Ireland as being the most likely correct one, the other two charts showing alternatives of different possible locations. https://i.imgur.com/Zku7S.gifIt's a general chart as I chose England for the place of birth because of the chancellor's quote put in the first tx*, mostly only affects the moon's position in this if elsewhere, bitcoin is a Capricorn which is appropriate & just look at the bunch of stuff going down in Aquarius, oh & pivotal just about everything to Saturn in Virgo - this Jack of Spades's chart is a serious contender. [*In the Bitcoin network's transaction database, the original entry has a note by Satoshi Nakamoto that reads as: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"] https://i.imgur.com/TUHNN.gifEdit 3: & if it was in Tokyo, Japan - correct local time for the first block made. https://i.imgur.com/9CkSA.gifEdit 4: Chart with the exact UTC & also the local time of the first block made if the location was Dublin, Ireland which seems the most probable correct chart atm, I've now posted a clearer pic of this at the beginning of this OP. https://imgur.com/PVDN5f3

"Grue: Are you familiar with Raffles? This raffle rip off has the best biggest operator's odds rake offs of any I have ever seen" FTFY  DMI This is coming from someone who runs a lottery site, can some one say hater? read my previous post - I do not run any lottery site, I only answer this so that you don't slander others who do, as for the rest of your comments they are equally inaccurate & pathetic in their responseIt is so incredibly lame that you are trolling this thread. The Rules and Terms of the raffle are in black and white for all to see, no one is tricked into this. People have an option to play or not to play. This is A free market, people are buying this tickets and if you dont like it, oh well - why not go start your own raffle today? Do it better than me and for less money and prove that I am wrong. Either put up or shut up because otherwise you just look like a troll coming in here complaining about something that you have nothing to do with, you want to tear it down for what? For me making money? Are you serious? Your preposterous acronyms make you look like a fool, it's Friday night go out and get laid or something man and leave me alone. read my previous post - I do not run any lottery site, I only answer this so that you don't slander others who do, as for the rest of your comments they are equally inaccurate & pathetic in their response ps - fo |

personally I'd prefer to buy 4 bets on the monthly BitLotto.com if win then get a higher % of the total staked & choose how I spend it & donate more to the forum, for comparison: coinraffle: donation = 20% prize = 38% rack rate (to the operator) = 42% time limit = whenever reliability = unproven & buggy bitlotto donation = x% (you choose) prize = 99% - x% rack rate (to the operator) = 1% time limit = 1 month reliability = proven to work, 1 year an example from the last draw on 4/4 donation = 120 BTC (you choose) prize = 280 BTC - 120 BTC = 160 BTC rack rate (to the operator) = 2.8 BTC so double the donation can be given while the winner still keeps 160 coins instead of just 112 worth & the odds of winning per 1 coin bet are better than 1 in 300, they were 1 in 280 Bitcoin lottos & raffles than ape the real life stupid tax ones by raking off 62% of punter's money for good causes & operator profit (that's obviously never clearly stated upfront or ever) are just retarded imo, good luck selling those 300 'tard tickets bro disclaimer: I have nothing what so ever to do with www.bitlotto.com - I just like to bet where the stupid tax is @ 1% & if I happen to win then I'll donate a % that I choose & to whom & when & buy what I wish with my winnings - if you reduced your operator's rake down to 1% then sure I would consider it but when you grab over twice what is donated to the good cause while pumping that it's all about the fab prize & charity then thanks but I'll pass for now |
