The raffle will occur on time, regardless of how many tickets will be sold. so far there are 4 entries. (updated 8/25/2011 10:41 PM CST)Rules + Prize: entry ticket is 1 BTC Up to 20 raffle tickets will be sold. Drawing occurs when the 20th ticket has sold or 1 week from original (this) post, whichever comes first. I will post the number of tickets available after processing each ticket purchase to keep everyone up to date. To purchase a ticket, please PM me and I will give you an address to send your 1 BTC to. When you send the BTC, tell me what your sending address is so I can associate your nickname with the sending address. I will use your nickname and enter them into third-party draw service provided bu rangom.org random.org will pick a winner and the results are public. I will PM the winner for shipping address. I will not ship outside of US, so if you are not in US, please don't buy a ticket. The card is a 5830 with the bracket clipped of at the bottom. you get everything it came with. if you care about the bracket being clipped off, please don't buy a ticket. this card was used for a few days until I upgraded to 5850s. Here are the pics: <br>

The grue lurks in the darkest places of the earth. Its favorite diet is adventurers, but its insatiable appetite is tempered by its fear of light. No grue has ever been seen by the light of day, and few have survived its fearsome jaws to tell the tale.

I'd consider entering if you changed your draw method to something more open. Perhaps something similar to bitlotto's method, which can be seen here: http://bitlotto.com/details.html. That way we can all be sure you're not manipulating the results.

I won't be involved in results. i will submit all entrants to random.org (3rd party) and they pick a winner randomly. http://www.random.org/draws/bitlotto seems to be about sending winnings to a bitcoin address (oversimplified overview). I can't send a 5830 to a bitcoin address... or am I missing your point here?

Because each entry into your lottery costs 1 BTC, then each entry will have a corresponding transaction ID. That's all you need in order to use Bitlotto's method. Just send the card to the sender of the transaction that wins.

I can have several people here claiming that they sent 1 btc from some address to my address once the winning transaction is announced. How do I solve this?

You'd have the same problem if you used random.org, but thankfully there's a solution. Why don't you give each user a different address to send the BTC to?

I was planning on using a different address for payment for each entrant.
I guess I'm just not really understanding how to run a raffle using the method you are suggesting... spell it out for me please.
I'm just gonna use random.org and so that ppl don't think there's hanky panky, I can video capture my screen when raffle winner is picked by random.org and post it on youtube. does this satisfy you?

A good point was brought up. Time limit.
So, the raffle will go on regardless of how many tickets have been bought by exactly 7 days from the time of the first post. Good luck! First ticket sold. It's on.

What's the purpose of the clipped grill, anyway?

I was trying to fit it into an 8 year old dell system and i had to clip the bottom off to make it fit into the case. ended up replacing all my 5830s with 5850s, so don't need this card anymore.
