Anyone know of a service that you can buy junk silver coins, or 1 oz rounds for BTC?
I've seen one site, and the prices were so inflated (2.5x spot).

Alright, I guess I'll connect the dots for you. Although, I have to say, the site's pretty clear as far as what the hash does, and the previous round is there for you already, but whatever.
Thank you. Perhaps I'm slow?  I was just curious if your method prevented you from knowing the winner or being able to manipulate it. Does random.org hide what the string actually is until certain date or do you know the string for who wins the whole time? Are the numbers used for the order based off of blockexplorer for when they paid? Would 0 be the first ticket and 5 the 6th ticket? No problem, I'm sure the truth-verification system is confusing for most first-timers. The string/winning numbers are hidden from me and set at the start of the round, so there's no way to manipulate the system. I can change the source code to display the winners if I need to, but the display in my terminal is minimized anyway since there's so much output data, so all of the number-display functionality that was present in dev has been stripped out. I have no competitive edge, even if I was ethically unopposed to participating in RaffleBit(service op shouldn't stand to gain beyond what's disclosed to customers). In programming terms, yeah...0 is the first ticket, and 5 the 6th. The numbers of the tickets are based on the order in which they appeared in the blockchain, but not based on blockexplorer. This is what I'm talking about, as far as verbose output, and the priority for space over seeing winning numbers. It also demo's what my actual interaction with the backend of RaffleBit looks like. <h1>Address to play:<h1><h2> 1Ga7XzikxLKP9uLEUTpkkiBA9PzTZ2qmEK</h2>

Rounds are getting bigger, folks! Current raffle is for 15+ Bitcoins, and is already more than 10% full. But, don't worry, there's more raffles to be had when this one ends.

Alright, I guess I'll connect the dots for you. Although, I have to say, the site's pretty clear as far as what the hash does, and the previous round is there for you already, but whatever. Random.org selects some numbers, encapsulates them in a string, and hashes it. Winning numbers for next round(tiger192,4): cdec4577078b5e6f93780776bba72e9c1b4d48fc840633bcThat's the hash for next round. Write this down if you have doubts about rafflebit's sincerity.

If you had written the hash down somewhere, you could compare these two things to your record to verify that the numbers are genuine. We even link you to http://www.whatsmyip.org/hash_generator/ on the FAQ to endorse honesty-verification. And things like http://blockexplorer.com/address/1HeySQD9yMJLWcs7SEGCZrbtLh2Bf1dhJZ that prove payouts. And https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=30515 that show proof from random members of the community endorsing the honesty of the platform. |

Really, bitlotto? Promote your product in your own topic, stop doing it in topics about RaffleBit. If you don't see the word 'bitlotto' in the title of the topic, that means it's not made for you to promote in. Thanks.
Also, if it's so easy to cheat, try and break the hash yourself, and let me know the results.

http://www.rafflebit.com/faq.phpWhen a round starts, the 3 winners of that round are chosen. The source of the winning ticket numbers is random.org, which uses ambient atmospheric signals to generate random numbers. The winning tickets are converted to a tiger192,4 hash, and the winning ticket string for the last round released after it ends. This enables you, the user, to verify that we, the operators, aren't monkeying around!

RE: the 102.5%, I gave someone a refund who didn't read the instructions so the pot was replacing their refunded tickets before it drew. Minor bug, but has been rectified along with the last couple other little updates that needed doing. Enjoy RaffleBit you guys, and good luck to all of you! |

I am personally experienced with the crap that PayPal pulls. Yeah, for the every-day user, they're fine. But when it comes to merchant services, they're completely terrible. All in all, the least pleasurable experience with any company that I've had, ever. So, I won't participate for or against since PayPal is disused in my life anyway, but I'd recommend being wary of their reputation if you're a merchant.

As a bitcoin web service developer/service provider: I wouldn't have a problem with this for the average end user, were it for one simple fact. Wallet providers don't consistently enough route the outbound address of a user back to that user's account. Most bitcoin-related services require an original client that will give users access to any bitcoin generated by the service, so until it becomes industry standard with wallet operators to route payments from outbound addresses back to the account they originated from, I won't be supporting them.

The irony of a decentralized currency forum complaining about the ethos of free-market capitalism astounds me.
That being said, who cares whether or not he sells it? Selling the subreddit would probably improve the quality of the service by infusing it with capital and staff.

Alright, folks! Got a few things added to the http://www.RaffleBit.com system. We now have proof-of-honesty, where each raffle's winners are picked before the raffle starts and hashed, then released. When the jackpot is paid, the original string is released and the honesty of the match can be verified. Also added a pot-splitting feature. Now, 1st place wins 60%, 2nd wins 25%, 3rd wins 15%. Everybody wins  So far, we've had quite a few BTC run through the system, and it seems to be functioning well. Many bugs have been squashed, and much progress has been made. Thanks for your help and patience, and we hope you continue having fun playing RaffleBit! |

The http://www.RaffleBit.com project is coming along nicely! Jackpots are now split between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, with each getting 60, 25, and 15 percent respectively. Congrats to the winners of the last jackpot of 1.4BTC! |

Awesome, I won the first round.  I would suggest, however, that you make it clear on the front page how big the pot is going to be. I know you mention a percent commission, but I would be more comfortable with the final winning in clear sight. Also, instead of a percentage of tickets sold, perhaps it should be changed to "x of y(total) tickets sold" or whatever. I'm trying to limit information that people could use to bot and cheat users out of coin. I'll add that function, so that you see % deducted for RaffleBit maintenance directly displayed in the pot total. Glad you're enjoying the http://RaffleBit.com experience, and thanks for the feedback! |

We are working on that, in the mean time, try swapping web browsers and see if that works for ya.
Yep, this. Works fine on Firefox & Chrome, and should work on MSIE9 too. Your browser doesn't support CSS3  |
