[WINNER: BOELENS] Congratulations! - USB Block Erupter - jdany's Raffle

[Dabs]

jdany, I sent you a PM. We can also use your assigned raffle numbers.

[jdany]

I'd buy 2 tickets. Can I give you a btc-e code? (Cant withdraw under .1)

Absolutely.  Send it over.

[jdany]

jdany, I sent you a PM. We can also use your assigned raffle numbers.

Thanks Dabs.

I will be away until Sunday night.  I'll let you know what I come up with.  Thanks for the help!

[jdany]

I am taking my wife away for our 11 year Anniversary.
I will be away from everything until Sunday night.
I'll get your numbers assigned (in the order they came in) when I get back.  No worries.

Please message me the address you sent your entry fees from so I can link your BTCtalk account.

(I'll still have my laptop with me (as any nerdy guy would) so chances are I'll still get things done - But, if she starts punching me in the arm, I may have to stop and just wait till I get back)

I really want one, but I never won a raffle before and somehow always have badluck when it comes to gambling. Anyways best of luck to everyone that entered!

Same here.  I never win raffles, door prizes, lotteries, get out of speeding tickets, etc.

My wife on the other hand, wins EVERYTHING!

The method of selecting a winning raffle number has been chosen.
I am using a hybrid, simplified version of candoos selection process.

Starting at 10p EST on Monday, the hashes from discovered blocks will pick the winning raffle number.
I will record the hashes from 6 consecutive discovered blocks.

Block 2 - 7253a927900b56e0c814b80385b5a677178b950d2b6e786fc7
Block 3 - 85fab3f65504107264dec5fb3f5a3447d44e9196a869d1aea9
Block 4 - 7bba4e5649dd6ba1df720ed0acb199702840fac9d4084cd76e

Using only the numerals in those blocks, from left to right.
We will keep moving to the right until a have a wining numeral. (excluding the first 14 zeros (for now)
I will let the first block pick the first winning numeral of our raffle number.
The second block pick the second numeral
The third block pick the third winning numeral
the fourth block pick the fourth winning numeral.
The fifth and sixth block will only be used if NO winning numbers appear in any of the block hashes. (unlikely to be needed)

So, our raffle numbers are 4 digits
1001
1002
1003
1004
1005
1006

In this example, the first three digits are all the same in our raffle numbers, so the fourth block will pick our winner.
Block 4 - 7bba4e5649dd6ba1df720ed0acb199702840fac9d4084cd76e
I simply move left to right until the number in the block hash matches a number in our raffle drawing.
1004 Would Win

Numbers updated.

I'm going to run a mock drawing tonight at 10p.  I will post the results to this thread as if it were the real thing.  I just want to be certain the method passes all of my tests and achieves my intended standard for fairness and transparency.
