[CLOSED] WIN FREE BTC - LIFT's Bitcoin Lottery 2.0 - we need your feedback

[fraenk]

EDIT - THIS THREAD IS CLOSED BY THE OP AND WILL NOT BE CHECKED FREQUENTLY

The past weeks we have been running a free bitcoin lottery in BETA.

Now its time for BETA 2.0

>>> http://bitcoin.lift-institute.com/lottery/

Head over there and grab some tickets.

I'd like to know your opinions on:

- Did you encounter any errors?
- How do you like the updates? (If you played the previous version)
- Is the Lottery easy to understand?
- Does it look like a scam to you? Or is it trustworthy?
- What kind of statistics would you want to see? Or is it too many already?
- How high should a good prize be?
- What would you change, anything, if you could?

Really any feedback that comes to your mind is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

For the first week of Lottery 2.0 BETA we will have DAILY raffle draws.

During this first week the prizes will be fairly low.

Once we are sure the Lottery functions properly we will increase the prize pool about 10-fold and switch to longer running raffles (3-4 days).

We will also upgrade the player-statistics module soon and we are already working on a history-feature to make the past raffles and winners transparent.

GOOD LUCK Y'ALL!

[fraenk]

The 1st days winners have been payed minutes ago... so far no feedback *sobsob  

Allright, let's throw some rewards in...

any constructive feedback we put on our to-do list will be rewarded with plentyful free tickets and instant satoshis...

please provide your player ID or BTC-address so we can credit you in the lottery

if you provide your player ID and not your wallet address, the reward will be higher

[ranlo]

Hey, I love the site. I haven't won a lottery yet but I've followed it on a regular basis. I also added it to http://coinfaucets.tk in the automatic rotator, .

Nice site just wish I could get more than one ticket.

You realy need to get it into the faucet rotor

It's in my faucet rotator - http://coinfaucets.tk

It's set for the 30m timer as well so you can always hit it as soon as it's off cooldown.

Hi albon,

what exactly do you mean by "get more than one ticket"?

...you can win up to 10 tickets every 30 minutes as it states in the rules at the bottom of the lottery-page.

...or do you mean you want to pick more than one of the 4 choices? >on the inspiration list - if executed 10000 Instant Satoshis and 25 tickets your way!

...or is it the timer that is too long? please be a bit more specific.

About the faucet rotator... maybe we we'll look into that when we go out of BETA... and once we have more valuable content on the rest of the site...

We are not trying to become just another ad-wall-uBTC faucet

I entered your lottery too, but didnt win anything from the ticket. Thank you for putting it in your [Suspicious link removed] rotator. Maybe if I enter it more often I will win. Was hoping for better odds since its so new ;-) Everything looks great guys! I really like the idea of getting to pick a random ticket yourself. I also like that you list the player's stats too. Very nice job guys!

Sorry it was just that all I seemed to pick was singles not multi.

I do think that it could be good to have say 6 choices and you have a chance to pick more than 1 of them (say a gamble you pick to get another) Just an idea.

I just tried the site before I found this thread and it is pretty simple to understand.  I got 100 satoshis and 1 raffle ticket.  I didn't get my ID # but the site looks good and seems to be working fine all the best with the site I look forward too using it alot more in the future.

[jsmarclook]

Great site, you did explain the lottery part pretty well, it's good to see that you have other post and useful info about bitcoins there. Keep it up.

After you get your reward, look just below where it tells what you got and you'll see your ID. I think you have to click "more info" right below your total ticket/pending rewards.

[reneedr]

I've gotten a few blanks in a row now I must be on a crap streak.

[Bitcoin Merchant]

Sure you will payout...

[fraenk]

Sure you will payout...

Yes, we are sure

and we have payed out multiple times in the past during our previous lottery BETA-1 as well.

several people on this forum have actually won before and could possibly confirm.

Anyways, our blockchain-link speaks hard facts:
https://blockchain.info/address/1BaiBPorJ3g9PxV1s9qsRv8uJRbM3cEUqZ

as a matter of fact we have payed the last rounds winners just minutes ago!

[fraenk]

and to make the game a bit more interesting, we have increased the pool balance by 50% just now... enjoy

They've been open for a while now, and have always paid. This is 2.0, but their 1.0 was perfect as well. There's no reason to think otherwise at this point. If they weren't paying out, they wouldn't be in the BTC Faucet Rotator, :p.

Well, we posted our blockchain link above, that should be a pretty good proof we are not scamming anyone here.

additionally i'd like to point out our old thread (Beta-1) where some bitcointalk members actually reported they DID win and receive their prize:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=202880.msg2254443#msg2254443

and, just to point out, it's all free, there's nothing to lose if you play... even if it WAS a scam...

[ranlo]

and, just to point out, it's all free, there's nothing to lose if you play... even if it WAS a scam...

This right here. It's not like you're signing over your bank account and stuff. You enter your BTC addy (ctrl+v), type in the captcha and you're done.

For the record, you guys have the best captcha system I've seen. All the words are related to BTC and are actual words, so there's no mis-entering them 5-10x because they look like "ioLopllIl"

[fraenk]

YAY! Thanks for noticing!

We were really reluctant to put a captcha up at all... but in the end we need to make sure to lock the bots out simply to keep it fair for all the human players

In the end we decided to go with a simple-php-captcha and adapted the dictionary. We actually collected the words from the community here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=214477.0

Ah, that's pretty cool! I've been kind of against captcha myself as well but sadly it appears to be something that can't be avoided. People always want to abuse things instead of use them as intended.

Yours isn't intrusive at all though. It's so much more natural to type "asics" than it is some random characters, XD.

[fraenk]

and yet another round of prizes have been sent on their way:

Wanted to reach out and say I got a payout today! My first from the site so I'm pretty stoked, lol.

Now then... is there any chance you can implement a manual withdraw process? I'd rather let things build up a bit rather than have smaller payments coming more often. I'm sure I'm not the only one!

You can get another ticket every 30 minutes as well. If you're using my faucet rotator the lottery is in the rotation so if you're using it actively you'll hit the lottery every 30m as well for maximum tickets, .

i recon it would be a while until we get there, though... there's a shitload of things we also need to implement for the administration side

NP! If there's anything else that bothers me (other than the empty prizes you sometimes get from tickets o.o) I'll let you know!

Oh, and I think you're missing a few zero's on both of those numbers, :p.

Hi LinuxNut,

Our site requires JavaScript to enable the form's submit button. After the page has fully loaded the button will be activated through JS.

If you see the "PLEASE WAIT" button for a longer time it's either the JS not being able to execute, OR the site has actually not finished loading.

Are you having the issue consistently when you visit the site? Is JS deactivated in your browser?

our last payout got included in an orphaned block!

block: https://blockchain.info/block-index/393406

as a result the last payout is still "unconfirmed" despite the generous tx-fees.

we are very sorry for the inconvenience! we expect it may be up to another 12hrs before the transaction confirms.

How much historical data do you save? I was thinking it may be cool (worthless for some, cool for people like me, :p) if you could set up a listing of the addresses, tickets earned, how many times they've won and how much they've won.

Not really that "useful," but for data-enthusiasts like me it's awesome. I figured if you already have the data stored, it shouldn't be too bad to run the calculations.

well, we had to discard all data of BETA phase 1 due to the massive restructuring of the BETA-2 version. Right now we have the historic data of about 6 days lol

anyways, more detailed statistics are on the to-do list, but it will be a few weeks before we'll get there.

Small update to our policies

To minimize transaction fees, payments are only processed once enough payable pending balances have been collected (~0.004 BTC) by all the players, currently that's the case roughly every 2-3 days.

not quite sure, yet, there's not any automated one in place, but we do record btc addresses passed via URL and eventually credit instant satoshis to those address if they are in the lottery.

My only complaint so far is that the website is a bit bland. But offcourse its still beta.

and because tomorrow's drawing marks the 1st week of BETA 2 complete, we are going to celebrate with a 50% increased prize-level*

Thanks for making it "human friendly"  - some of them still seem too ez though.    Imho the B in your logo looks ugly without the ubiquitous circle (signifying coinage I suppose), also the I in Institute should be capitalized.  Its simple and I suppose that works better than "busy" in the long run.  I'll be spending more time on your site earning tix and satoshis (hopefully)

This page doesn't render the meu symbol but it does seem to copy paste over correctly(I'm using google chrome):  http://bitcoin.lift-institute.com/free-bitcoins/

Note: All rewards listed are in μBTC. 1μBTC equals one millionth of a Bitcoin. That’s 0.000001 BTC or 100 Satoshis. All sites listed are being verified and checked frequently.

That's quite funny, we are mostly using chrome, too and the μ-symbol displays just fine. There are webfonts used on the site, so maybe something is going wrong at that point?!

could you possibly upload a screenshot?

and yes! probably should think about this... the ad-block users just profit while the adviewers and clickers are contributing to the prize pool... it would just be fair i guess!

do you have a player ID?

nice idea, I like it

a chance to win multiple amounts of the instant wins should be "something" too... it's the greed!

Oh, no, that's what he was talking about I think: it's better to get the 100 satoshis or whatever as a guaranteed win than to get tons of tickets that may or may not lead anywhere.

I hate taking risks, so I'm one of the few people that likes a little guaranteed instead of the chance to win a lot. Others are different though.

Was just clarifying his problem, .

Yeah Thanks! I think the problem is understood and it is exactly why we introduced instant wins with BETA-2!

However, it is still a raffle and the "winning" part will stay the main focus! It should not be just another faucet!

It would help immensely if you could add in a flag to where if the winner's ID isn't 235, it will roll again.

Just a random number I chose, but I'm sure someone would be happy, .

a small 0.0015 BTC campaign on Bitvisitor did the trick... we have cracked the 200 players today and a 6th-10th prize are waiting to be drawn in two hours!

also, the weekend is coming and we will give the prizepool a nice little boost after tonight's prizedraw... we'll share the juicy details with you later!

also, the weekend is coming and we will give the prizepool a nice little boost after tonight's prizedraw... we'll share the juicy details with you later!

so, as we are closing in on today's drawing, let me share the coming details with you:

The 1st Prize will be increased ca. 3~4-fold. All other prizes are also being roughly doubled. (instant wins will be unchanged)

This weekend we will stick to the daily raffle. After the Sunday drawing, we will move to a 48hr timer with the exception of a 24hr sunday-raffle every week and see how this goes.

all together, by our projections, the prizes we will pay out should be raised to 200% per week by these changes.

FYI: we are taking a bit of our mining experiment's earning to the prize pool... the ads wouldn't allow for such a raise

Awesome to hear! I look forward to someday finally winning one of the drawings, :p.

I'm a bit lost as to why the move from 24h to 48h though. I thought the poll was pretty much all for the 24h?

the poll was actually not very revealing.

14 voters spread into 6, 5 and 3... and that doesnt really represent a significant fraction of the audience.

we want to try it out at least and see from the usage stats how the community responds.

our top referrers have just been credited ~10 instant satoshis per referred visit in the last week... enjoy

[fraenk]

Now then... is there any chance you can implement a manual withdraw process? I'd rather let things build up a bit rather than have smaller payments coming more often. I'm sure I'm not the only one!

that's a valuable suggestion!! >on the inspiration list - if executed 20000 Instant Satoshis and 50 tickets your way!

i recon it would be a while until we get there, though... there's a shitload of things we also need to implement for the administration side

we have implemented a feature that lets players "halt" their payouts in order to accumulate more BTC before receiving payments to their wallet

you will find the feature in your player stats' expanded details.

@ranlo: your reward has been credited!

[fraenk]

anyone here using BitcoinSocially?!

The Site feels pretty empty... we went to try it out anyway => https://www.bitcoinsocially.com/lift/

if you are using the site... make friends with us and post your playerID to our wall to receive 1000 instant satoshis!!

[tinyteapot]

I use it, posted my id and got paid. Cheers. Now, if I can just win the lottery...

BTW, on the referral side, what rank were we this time? :p

under all referrers in the passed week, you ranked #7 with 219 visits, under those passing a ref-value you ranked #2

Awesome. Thanks! Oddly enough building traffic has been a bit tougher than I expected. It appears some people dislike the rotator but won't tell why, lol.

we have just made another payout to our players. surprisingly many of you (including last round's grand prize winner) are already "halting" their payments... great to see this feature find so much response!

[fraenk]

and to keep it interesting for the coming week's 48hr raffles, we have given the prize pool another 10% pump.

It's great to see that it wasn't just me wanting it, too! It's nice being able to "bank" the satoshis instead of having a lot of smaller payments.

your rotator works quite nicely, so there's actually nothing speaking against making a recommendation for it... i think we'd need to try several rotators in and out before publishing any links though...

it's nothing, BUT compared to all other faucet sites it's probably more than you'd ever make on them

Oh congrats  . You won 11 US cents worth of bitcoin. However I guess every bit helps. 

Take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves. 

if you already own so much BTC that you do not care about mBTCs anymore... please ignore the rest of my defensive statement below...

otherwise... do the math! You'd be visiting a good paying faucet site 6 days 24/7 straight to get the amount of BTC favdesu just won... i think it's fair to call that a prize!

and since CoinVisitor chipped in on the prize pool, we are now awarding a doubled 1st prize (that's 2 weeks worth of a faucet site) every 12hours while the pool lasts.

Yes, the odds to win the grand prize might be small with a few hundred player in each raffle, but over time everyone will earn a payable amount of instant satoshis or one of the smaller prizes along the way...

anyways, it's a free money give-away... and we want to spread some countable love to the bitcoin community and along the way maybe get a few beginners excited and engaged in the bitcoin economy!
