[The Raffle Of All Raffles III] Cancelled.

BTCC said sales are not halted but some users are experiencing issues to add to the cart.

It is intermittent, so Tendai and team will hopefully be looking into it.

Hi guys, it seems that some customers can't add items to their cart if they're using the Chrome browser. We're looking into the issue. If you can't order from Shopify please contact me at:

tendai.musakwa@btcc.com

or

mint-sales@btcc.com

Thanks for clarifying. So the raffle could still be about BTCC coins

That's a strange issue to have.. Everyone I've talked with have had the same issue.

If this is only a Software error BTCC should have notice the drop in sales, don't they?

Who really knows. I also feel that they should have let people know about any issues, especially if it's a basically a halt in sales. The thing is that with all of the pboc stuff and the endless redeeming of Btcc coins this could honestly be them doing it all. Perhaps they have met some difficulties with government etc and don't want to drop face. As we all know they have not been the most communicative company towards us from the west.

Not saying there's a reason to doubt them but I'm starting to see some red flags.

I'm not very sure on that
i tried going to the site and clicked add to cart , ofcourse nothing happened  - so i refreshed the page and before it could load , i clicked add to cart.
It worked fine with that

So maybe give it a try like that?

I did not even see that post... Bitcoin life from the phone is not an easy one lol.

My apologies for the last post I made. I will be in contact with Btcc through email!

Wow you're not wrong! About 50% of those 5BTC coins have been redeemed. That's crazy! I guess the PBOC haven't closed this loophole yet, it's one of the only ways they can get BTC out. I wonder what this will mean for the remaining HODLers of the coins.

Well, strange thing why do the 5btc get redeemed not the full btc Blocks or the 1btc coins? 5 btc coins have a 1 btc premium on them AT full price.

[coin@coin]

I don't complain, the more BTCC coins are redeemed the rarer the non-redeemed ones they get. 

[Hhampuz]

Since the store now works it's looking very likely that we'll do a BTCC raffle

I guess someone bought a shitload of them at a special price. I'm pretty sure it's the same guy because when I clicked around through the explorer, there was a barrage of 4.9999BTC redemptions to the same address.

It's quite unbelievable, from around 5% to 50% in the blink of an eye!

2016 Titanium V Series, Five Bitcoin
   Unredeemed: 262 (52.4%)
   Redeemed:   238 (47.6%)
   Total:      500

A whale has used this method to get 1,000BTC out of BTCC, circumventing the PBOC rules. Pretty cool.

What about a Kialara 'To the Moon' raffle that includes a suite?

How are you planning on pricing these new Moon Bars when they have not even been released? I know the approximate figures that have been offered for Suites, but what about Sets? Single 100k Bars? Personally I would wait for secondary market sales (and to have these in our hands..) before planning something like this. We have no idea what a Set will sell for currently, just an approximate amount for Suites, which is a substantial amount of money - that much that some people will not be willing to pay the entry cost, whatever it may be.

Yes, I guess an update is due!

The last 2 raffles have pretty been much entirely BTCC orchestrated, with BTCC products filling the majority of prize places. This was changed a little in Raffle #2, and so we also had items from Denarium, some Casascius Coins, some Dignitas Designs Silver Bars from RMC, Bitcoin Engrave Vouchers from Darkjon, some Cryptonic Coins courtesy of Cryptonic & owlcatz, and several other things. (I am sorry if I missed any individuals here, this was not intended purposely!).

1st place in the last raffle contained a Five Bitcoin Coin in Luxury Presentation Case along with 2 other 1 BTC Coins, which suited the position perfectly considering the size of the prize pool. BTCC are now sadly out of stock when it comes to those 5 BTC coins, and along with wanting to mix things up a little so as to not be boring, or become predictable, I threw a curveball at Hhampuz and opened up the possibilities for prizes. As of now, there has been a decent amount of deliberation taking place between us as to how to proceed with this, The Raffle of All Raffles, Number 3, and this is where we currently stand:

Hhampuz has spoken to tothemoonsands of Friends of Satoshi, and it has been decided that some of the prize places will contain items supplied by FoS. These will be paid for from entry costs.

The next thing is this - I am currently trying to see if Titan Mint are interested in being represented in this latest raffle by offering a Matching Serial Number Titan Set consisting of the Stunning 1 BTC 1oz Gold, and the gorgeous 1 BTC 1oz Silver - as part as the prize for 1st place. Additionally, there will be a load of single 1 BTC 1oz Silvers being split up across the remainder of the prize places (we are looking at around 15 paying spots, but please note that not every place may contain a loaded Bitcoin). These coins would obviously be paid for with the entries fees from users entering the raffle as well.

The last time/raffle, tickets cost 0.06 BTC each, and the USD/BTC rate was obviously a lot less as well. 0.06 BTC now feels like, and is, a lot more than it was then. We are hoping to have the entry cost lower this time, but that does mean we have needed to change things around a little. No more will be said on that note for now, but note that the entry cost for entering this raffle will not be more than the previous ones, it will be less. We are trying to make it "pocket-friendly" as possible.

I do not yet have an answer from Titan Mint, so none of this is a definite, but I thought I would let the community know the rough plans as they currently stand. These are subject to change completely and it may be needed that we have to use the majority of funds for BTCC products instead.

As soon as I know - I will let you all know too

Please feel free to comment below on whether you, the community, are happy with the idea of a (mainly) Titan Bitcoin Raffle, or whether you would prefer to stick to tradition and go with BTCC Products.

This will be my final post until myself and Hhampuz have an actual plan that is achievable - but please discuss between yourselves in the meantime. Within the next few days, we should be ready to go and will create a brand new thread

Thanks,

Zeph
