I love it...too funny. those are very odd statistics for the stock of google. how about if I use Apple's stock price ? =)
I thought if I used a stock that is well known, and has good price movement it would be fair. I thought possible buyers would prefer something visible
rather than #'s in a hat---which they cannot witness being drawn---unless I Skype ? I will keep this posting up for a couple more days, but as of now, it appears to be a flop.
would anyone be interested in a Cube Miner raffle ? 10 tickets at .10 btc each ticket ? or I can do 20 tickets at .05 btc each, using the same stock price method, and the buyers can do a consensus majority vote as to which stock they would like to determine the winner of the raffle ?
or is my idea lame ?
im atually pretty interested in this idea
a few pointers would be
use an escrow that way if you dont send the miner to the winner of the auction people will get there money back from the escrow. you have to do this untill you have some feed back as most people simply wont trust you
make it a rule that you announce the winners user name so the community can do what it does best and check and confirm your offering legit auctions.
use something with alot of movement stock is a good idea but aa big company like google dosnt have alot of movement, id say something like YEN would be a good idea. dosnt have to be good stock just a hard to predict stock. or maybe even bitcoin price on btc-e at a certain time
let me know what you think and ill probably buy a ticket or 2
might also be worth selling tickets and letting the user pick there ticket number from the list of available numbers
and last but not least let people know where your shipping from eu/uk buyers avoid the US because of issues with customs and is shipping free?
