21  Economy / Gambling / Newbie Lottery - 0.005BTC / Ticket on: February 01, 2012, 02:12:30 PM
Try your luck at a cheap lottery game!
http://btclottery.0adz.com/


I'm pretty new to BitCoins. I started a few days ago and mined like 0.04BTC from a pool!
I decided to invest 0.01 BTC and create a basic BTC Lottery. I've built the website from scratch by myself.

I have personally put 0.01 BTC into the prizedraw. I will look at the Lottery Wallet a few times every day and update the website accordingly (in & out & jackpot value)

Please tell me what you think?


I figured I don't have any reputation on this forum, so I'll sell the tickets for cheap to get a bit of reputation and trust in the community.
I just hope people will take the leap of faith (with 0.005 BTC + 0.0005 BTC Transaction Fee) and put their trust in me.
If it catches on, I'll purchase a domain and move it to a .com site!

The transaction fee would vary depending on the network - correct me if I'm wrong here. Also,only the senders are subject to the transaction fee, and they can circumvent the transaction fee by using a modded version of the bitcoin client. However, this would make the transaction be queued so long as most miners wouldn't include them in their blocks without a fee.

This makes sense, so using a modded version of the client would be free, but a transaction may take a few days to be processed because most miners wont process free blocks?

My question is, Would you play it?

Not unless you can convince me it's not a scam  Roll Eyes

Well:
1. There's a transaction log (incoming payments & rewards)
2. It's so cheap at 0.005 BTC per ticket, I'm hoping a few people will just give it a try, and i'd get myself some good positive recognition on the forum!
At 0.005 I think there'll be a transaction fee, hence bringing the total cost to more.

What do I have to set it at so there's no transaction fee then? im sure the fee is only 0.0005 BTC

Hey guys!
I'm making a newbie Lottery, with costs of just 0.005 BTC per ticket
This makes it so anyone can buy a ticket, even if low on BTC, to try their luck.

I've built the website from scratch in a few days, and just got a tweaks and it'll be ready to roll.

My question is, Would you play it?
Also, how do you make a poll on this thing? Am I restricted??
26  Other / Beginners & Help / Backup and Restore of a Wallet on: January 31, 2012, 07:49:18 PM
Hi,

I wish to know the restore procedure of a wallet. I'm backing up wallet.dat on a daily basis.
I'm not sure (due to security of bitcoin) if I can simply use the wallet.dat on a new PC

If I get a new PC, Install bitcoin, let it update the block index, then overwrite the wallet.dat it creates with my backup, will it work? Or do i need to backup other things aswell?

Why rename it? It's fine as it is. I suppose slang terms will be adopted though. Noncents is just completely stupid though!

So my onboard Intel chipset will never GPU mine?

I've tried CUDA and OpenCL with my Quadro. It doesn't work! Sad
Heres the error:

I'm downloading the Quadro ones now. I'll tell you how it goes.
Do you know if my Intel Machine with onboard graphics supports OpenCL? Its pretty new, like 2 years old :/


Edit:
The drivers do not work. Can't find OpenCL.dll!
on the download page, it says OpenGL not CL
What is OpenGL, and can we mine using it?

I'll post it in the forum at a later date and probably put it in my sig. It should be a fun project! Smiley

Hi,

I have a 'HP Compaq 6000 Pro SFF PC', with an 'Intel Q45/Q43 Express Chipset'
I can't GPU mine, because OpenCL.dll is missing. I cannot find a download page for OpenCL and i've also upgraded my driver to the latest Intel Version. Is there any possible way to GPU mine on this PC?
CPU mining is slow, 6.25Mhash/s

Also, I have an 'IBM Itellistation 6230-39G' with a 'NVidia Quadro FX 3000' Graphics Card. I get the same problem and can't get GPU mining to work! Sad

I don't think so. As the BTC Wallet downloads new blocks (blk001.dat & blkindex.dat) it will see your bitcoin address (as stored in your wallet.dat) and update the transactions?

I think the way it works is, All transactions EVER made, are in the block container, then bitcoin.exe just filters the results by wallet.dat

So no matter what, you'll always have your transaction history as it's on the interwebs!

Hello Everybody at BitCoinTalk,
I just thought I'd introduce myself.
20 Year old IT Technician, living in the UK

Pretty good at HTML, CSS ETC Programming, just not good at the design side. Meaning I can create an epic website in HTML and CSS, but only if you plonk a design infront of me to follow!
Also have lots of experience in AutoHotKey, an open source programming application.

Just found out about bitcoins a few days ago and started mining. I really like the idea of a secure & anonymous new currency. In my possession is 0.01 BTC Cheesy

With my skills, I thought "Why don't I make something that contributes to my wallet and Lucky people's wallets, that people won't be afraid of trying out because its so cheap!"
So I made a Lottery with a very fair payout scheme: 70% goes to the current jackpot, 25% goes to next jackpot, and 5% goes to expenses (expenses are fee's to send and the rest goes to me). Tickets are 0.005 BTC each to encourage newbies without many BTC (like me) to try their luck.
It's up and running on a free web host, but I won't release it for a few days (till I get a bit of reputation) otherwise I'll just be called a scammer xD

My mining progress is VERY slow. That's why I made the lottery.


I will take jobs to build basic websites / basic applications in AHK for cheap, just to fill my wallet, if there's anyone interested?
