My loaded 100 BTC Casascius Bearer Bar

[monkeynuts]

I think it could be done

But it still has a requirement to set a price, to then determine ticket costs

An agreed escrow to hold funds

And the logistics of transferring ownership

It would generate a lot of interest,  given the scale of the prize,  potentially outside of this place,  which would be great

What about 256000 spots at 0.0005 BTC each? So everyone can afford to buy a ticket

That's something I could get behind

Raffle it!!!!

This isn't how it works.
It can be either 16, 256, 4096, 65536 or 1048576, etc ... (but the latter ones starts to get pretty annoying to manage )

I like the idea of a low entry raffle for this, but it'd take forever to fill, I imagine.

0.5BTC per ticket with feeder raffles of 256 slots giving 2 tickets to the big one @ 0.004 per ticket, that gives you a chance to get 1 ticket to the big one!

this would be crazy for the winner

imagine buying say 4 spots for 2 btc and winning the awesome huge(tiny) bar :O


Would certainly be fun and i would join to gamble

[wheelz1200]

Would take a looooong time to fill for the op, this would be epic in theory but i dont know if we'd get $1m worth of spots filled for a raffle like this.

[gentlemand]

Lots and lots of enthusiasm... apart from the person trying to sell it. I would not be bursting with keenosity to do that either.

How many raffles have there been on here previously and how successful were they?

these 2 were so much fun

TMAN sweeped the first one lol

I would love to see the raffle to end all raffles

256 tickets at 0.5 btc each?

Surely it's a 1000 BTC coin or go home.

And 0.5 as a punt is pretty hefty. I can't think of too many going for it. At the very minimum as a consolation for not winning I'd want to spend a month inside Mike Caldwell.

I would find 0.5 to spend on a raffle of this size

So a 1000 btc bar with a 5 BTC entry I don't think that would ever fill up. 

I don't think there are that many people willing to bet half the average national salary of the USA on a raffle but what do I know

I think first it would be good to know what John Galt wants for it and then divide that price by 256 to determine the raffle ticket price. If it's a reasonable ask, then perhaps those who are willing to buy it outright could buy the rest of the tickets and take a bit of a gamble if the value of a ticket is in line with what they were originally wanting to spend. I think it's important for the raffle to both get filled, and have the seller happy with the amount that it raises.

lol oh yeh the guy that owns it might have a say

If sothebys would accept auctioning this not only do i think you will get more from the exotic collectors now that bitcoin is known everywhere but it would put cas coins on a whole new level, would be a great coup for this community.  Worst they can say is no thanks.

Speaking of raffles... I would not mind hosting it with minerjones escrowing the funds. I could probably make it work, get some news station in on it and people will come.. Raffleceptions have proven to work.

Raffles aside, great bar OP, I'm surprised you had the stomach to hold on to this for so long! Kudos to you.

Internal storage. Never thought of that. Explains that crafty 4-stomached cow and her never ending supply of chinese silver.
