[ENDED POLL] Crypto Cosmos ERROR DECKS

[Kryptowerk]

The Crypto Cosmos decks recently arrived! See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5068739.0 for all info.

Now, I checked every single deck, and unfortunatelly 6 of them have a flaw: The box is not engraved. Personally I like the smooth look, I wouldn't even say they look worse than the one's with engraving. But it's a matter of taste.
I will either keep these decks myself and/or ask for a replacement by the manufacturer OR have them distributed randomly.

If you purchased a deck, you are eligible to vote how we proceed. Voting will end this Friday at 9 a.m. NY time / 15:00 p.m. Berlin time.

Your options:
A) I keep them myself / get them replaced by embossed decks (if possible)
B) distribute them randomly by me selecting a bitcoin block to start (similar to a raffle) and then letting the last two digits decide which number will be an un-embossed deck. This will be repeated with the following blocks until all 6 error decks are distributed.
Since there is a total of 256 decks, this would work perfectly. So if the number is E0, we would have 14 x 16 + 0 + 1 = #241, Other examples: 00 would be #1 (0 x 16 + 0 + 1), 59 would be 5 x 16 + 9 + 1 = #90, FF would be 15 x 16 + 15 + 1 = 256. We need to add 1 to all calculations, since the counting of the decks does not start with 0 but with 1

Personally I vote for B) since it reminds me of the coin-flip orientation/book-turn orientation (see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5063985.msg47680503#msg47680503), and adds to the collectibility of the decks. However I am fine with whatever the majority will decide of course!

B. Non forced error. Me like.

B.  Great idea!

B. Definitely is better option. Couple of suggestions.

1. Raffle for 36 slots(1-9, A-Z) last digit of the txid.(eligibile for people who already bought the decks. Limit 1 slot per person)
2. .001 entry for each slot(slot 1 for 1 person(to ensure u make some money back or atleast for shipping  unless u are getting refund from manufacturer)
3. Choose a block number and go with 6 consecutive block numbers and award the guys u bought the last digit, incase there is duplicate, u can go with the 7th block and move forward. This is just to ensure u have 6 unique winners.
4. Benefit I see from this:
    A. Buyers are getting incetivized.
    B. U have 6/36 winners. Lot better chance for anyone to win than one in 100 or 1 in 36.


Phew - that was a lot of typing from phone, i hope it was worth..

Good luck with ur decision.

I think you should change that unfortunate circumstance immediatelly.  

Okay, a clear tendency towards B has emerged - btw, if you don't want to cast an A vote publicly, you can also send me a pm.

I thought about Agrawas suggestion. I don't want to charge anything extra. Also I would prefere a fair distribution to any deck buyer or potential deck buyer in the future. 36 slots or similar is difficult to distribute among all the buyers, especially since some purchased 1 deck and some purchased up to 10 decks.

That's why I'd propose the following:
- The six decks will be raffled to a random number from 1 - 256 by using the last two digits of six (or more if there is a repetition) block hashes of the Bitcoin blockchain. So yes, the chances of getting an ERROR deck are slim (a little less than 1:43 for each deck bought) but if you do win, it's something really special, also this seems by far the fairest way of distributing them
- If someone isn't happy with potentially receiving an un-embossed deck it will be raffled again, increasing the chances for all others that would like a chance to get one of these. So prior to shipping I would confirm with the buyer that she/he does indeed want such an ERROR-deck

[dolphriends]

I only bought 1 deck and anyway that is fair for all is good with me, let's roll

[chronicsky]

B please

[Kryptowerk]

Okay, I will wait until tonight to hear some more opinions and - given there are not a bunch of A votes coming in soon - then select one BTC block to start the show.

[Steamtyme]

Totally down with B.

Will be a nice addition for anyone to score one of these decks alongside their purchase.

[Kryptowerk]

Okay, let's start with block #558825
https://blockstream.info/

Rules: as stated above: the last two digits determine the "winning deck" - meaning this deck will be an error deck.
UPDATE: Ok, if an unsold deck "wins" it will NOT become an error deck. Instead we will run the next block until an already sold deck wins.

I think this is a fair compromise to reward early buyers but still have a large pool of decks that can be selected.

Also, if you won and don't want an error deck you have the right to "put it back in the raffle" - meaning you will get a normal deck and the error will be raffled off again in the same manner.

32 = 3 x 16 + 2 + 1 = 51, congrats ANON01!

All decks distributed.
Btw: I have to say... the chances of hitting 2/2 decks are incredibly slim, lebnor. WOW!

Will send out pms now asking everyone if they want to keep their error-deck. - If someone refuses their error-deck I will call another block to go for that deck.


<------ Please check if I did any miscalculations.

36 = 3 x 16 + 6 + 1 = 55, congrats Steamtyme!

Wow definitely glad I grabbed 2 decks as it will be nice having one of each.

Just wondering, is the plan to swap boxes, and still have the stamped and numbered card and sticker for #55 in/on the un-embossed box?

Thanks again really looking forward to seeing these in person.

Yes of course, I have these errordecks and they will be distributed in exactly the same way as the other decks. The only difference is the missing embossing.

Funnily enough, the first deck I took out of the full charge was one of these. I was like "whaaaat - they did it not emboss - all the xtra work for nothing?" So I checked all decks, and luckily it was only 7 decks (one that I keep myself - I opened it already).

[Steamtyme]

Thanks just wanted to be sure I understood.

I could only imagine the horror at first. Glad it all worked out in the end.

Congratz to all you winners, these are exciting to own, thanks for making these, Krypto
