Allright, with only 2,5 hours to go before we start the lottery, it's time to explain how we will do it..
How will we draw winners:
We will look at the order list removing all of our own shares. Every share represents a number starting at number 1. So starting at the top we see
btceic 7 e675b67a2aac6e491d23da1058d0a99872ac8b919f86fcf6efd3de9740f50952
tidus_13 2 Reserved
KSV 10 6f2862ccdeb2c7dd386af5923a081690e5c0fed93966930d567c5ada0b93e415
btcid has lottery tickets 1-7
tidus has tickets 8-9
KSV 10-19
etc..
The way things stand we will give away 8 prizes of 50 ADDICTION shares (for miner 2 till 5), but you never know, we might get to sell the next miner in the next hours..
Now to keep this lottery bitcoiny
we're drawing tickets using the blockchain. Every block found after 10.00 will hold the winning ticket. To draw we use the following PHP code:
<?
$key='0x000000000000008156ca289841014bfaa5a34c1cec43f3b83f6f478a07ae4c8d'; //
mt_srand($key);
echo mt_rand(1,606); // 606 number of eligble shares at time of draw
?>
As you can see it will take 8 blocks to get all winners! All shares bought before the block that holds the prize count!
Cheers
