thinking of creating a bitcoin lottery: jackgbtc

[jackg]

This would be a bitcoin lottery where there is always three winners:
first prize: 50% of all of the money deposited
second prize: 20% of all the money deposited
third prize: 10% of all of the money deposited

Price of 1 ticket 0.1mbtc

Any ideas?

SatoshiSplit uses the Carolina Pick 3 daytime drawing numbers

[jackg]

I will use a personally run program that will select one of the numbers in use for that week and the person will be sent the bitcoins as soon as the draw has been completed. I will tehn post on a thread on this website, the three winners for that week and the evidence for these from blockchain.info's website.

I will also base the product on this website until i get enough interest to make it sufficient to run it on a webserver. (It, like the bitcoin network: will therefore be decentralised and stored on google and a computer) I will use google drive's forms and documents as no confidential information will be stored and will use coinbase to store all of the entrats until again I get enough interest and find out how to create a program which will count the number of input from each bitcoin address!

How is this even remotely related to bitcoin mining ?

I'll tell you what a Bitcoin lotery means.
Buy two S3 units, put them on ckpool solo mining pool and wait one year. If you will find a block, which is statistically posible you are the lucky winner of about 25 BTC.

Block hashes, possibly?

I was thinking about using a random number generator from python and putting the raw number output onto a thread that I created for the bitcoin lottery, along with the spreadsheet of the week's players and tickets!

I was thinking of asking fo rthe user's email to notify them if they win and to leave feedback on the thread. I will also post a LIVE spreadsheet that I will edit each day to show the next winners!
