I felt like giving away some BTC, so I thought why not make people gamble for it? So here is a quick lottery:

Tickets cost 0.001BTC each. Each ticket offers a 1/16 chance to win 0.017BTC (17*(1/16) + (-1)*(15/16) = 12.5% negative house edge). The prize will be drawn through the last character of a block (TBD) in the Bitcoin Blockchain.

Please reserve the characters that you want (up to 4 per person, no alts please), and once the raffle is filled up, I will give you an address to pay to. You will have 24 hours to pay, or else you may lose your spots.

Pretty sure you are misunderstanding. You have to pick from the characters I listed, as g, I, r and l will never be at the end of a block.

You're actually just giving away 1mbtc, since you get about 16mbtc if all slots are filled. What the hell, let's go for it. Cheesy

I know I'm only giving away 1mBTC. I thought that was obvious  Grin

I'll pick a block with at least 2 hours notice once the raffle fills up, want sure how long it would take.

24 hours have passed, and nutkumkub has not paid, so I will open the slots to someone else if they want to join.

If no one buys them in the next few hours, I'll take the last 4.



The winning block will be block 467510 in the bitcoin blockchain.

Didn't expect to win at all. Still want to give some away, so how's this:

Each of you pick 5 new characters of a block hash (or what you had before, doesn't really matter). Once everyone has picked, I'll pick another block and the winner gets 0.005 BTC.
