I almost bought a second one as well. Glad I didn't

It sucks that more people didn't want to get involved in this. I expected more people would jump at a chance to get a 5830 for 1 bitcoin.

Maybe the clipped grill?

I bet if it was sold as new-in-the-box canary would've made a killing.   People devalue things weirdly.

Haha!  I almost bought a couple of more but I figured someone would swoop in and buy 8 or 9 to give them better odds.  Personally, I thought this was a brilliant idea - too bad it didn't work out for Canary   I'm guessing this will put an end to card raffles...

I got my dates mixed up... was expecting another evening to buy a ticket, then realized that my forum time was set to UTC.  :\

I don't think this should put raffles to an end.  maybe someone can run it more "actively" with modifications that make raffles more appealing...
i just didn't have enough time to promote and modify this raffle appropriately.
however, i had to keep my word, and i did.

that would be a really puzzling reason considering what miners put their cards through anyway.  plus that clipped of piece can be easily replaced.

I'm glad you guys had fun with this.  It was pretty amusing to read posts against this...

I will have something spectacular ready for bitcoin miners in not too distant future.  all supportive people here will be first in line.  so, stay tuned.

Its a shame to see not many people entered.... you probably should have posted this on the Mining forum I suppose...

He did it was in the hardware section, the mining section, this section, the selling goods section. He literally posted this every where and bumped it constantly. I don't understand why people didn't buy tickets.

Oh fair enough, I only saw it here. I guess people didn't want to risk 1 coin or didn't trust the lottery :s

Same. I would have bought a ticket, but I had the date/time wrong.

Same here, i forgot to bookmark it and forgot about it.
