Use me as your referral, draco49@tormail.net, and if I win I'll pay everyone who used my referral their 0.50BTC back. How are you going to verify that? 1) If I don't win, I won't have to. 2) If I do win, just PM me your BTC addr and the email you used to enter with and i'll confirm it with our nice raffle host.

I never win anything, but it is worth a shot. FYI: I picked the first person to post as email for referral (at least the first I saw). Referrer's e-mail address: yrral86@gmail.comrefer me if you like hartmining@gmail.com

Referrer's e-mail address: yrral86@gmail.comrefer me if you like hartmining@gmail.com So, when you submit say 20 credits for the raffle without referral, you are voting 20 times for yourself (to win). When you do it with referral, you are voting 21 times for yourself and 5 times for someone else (and reduce your chances to win relative to the other person) . So why are you doing that?

I'm curious Matthew, I thought you are located in Seoul, South Korea. Why is the raffle page on bit-pay.com saying Baekdu Mountain, Pyeongyang Korea North?
![Shocked](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif) Because North Korea has such an open connection to the Interwebz... duhh... it's the central source for all free enterprising e-currencies. And Baekkdu... ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2F6%2F6d%2FBaitou_Mountain_Tianchi.jpg&t=665&c=VB3-e1dywXPDwQ) Obviously the perfect location between N. Korean and China to conduct Bitcoin Business. White Head... Matt are you a white guy living in Korea? I was born in Seoul. lol.

I guess I shouldn't point out that doing a mod of the number favours some first % of the shares by getting 1 extra chance at winning ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Meanwhile - wow Matthew is gonna make a fortune out of this ... anyone offering to pay postage is foolish ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) (At the $4.90 gox value at the moment he only needs 123BTC to cover the $600 it probably cost him)

Quote it for truth then. Nothing will change. I'm not Atlas.
I'm still convinced you are Atlas ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) If you make your money back are you gonna raffle another one?

Meanwhile - wow Matthew is gonna make a fortune out of this
I hope to recoup the price only. I support BFL. anyone offering to pay postage is foolish ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) I would never make anyone pay for postage. That's totally boring. This thing is supposed to be fun. (At the $4.90 gox value at the moment he only needs 123BTC to cover the $600 it probably cost him)
Mine cost me $650 (shipping to Korea isn't cheap) because I got in late I guess. I heard some others got one for $500 and less. I don't know if that's true. I'm still convinced you are Atlas ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) If you make your money back are you gonna raffle another one? Definitely! Next time though, Mihai has instructed me to do it through the Bitcoin Magazine as a giveaway of sorts for involvement etc. We'll see what we come up with. I have my own crazy ideas, but everyone around me has their own too, and I don't always talk to them before I jump the forums and do crazy shit. You do exist after all, Matthew! I profoundly apologize for ever doubting your existence ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) Impressive, really! Lol. Of course I exist. http://bittalk.tv http://youtube.com/matthewnealwrighthttp://facebook.com/matthew.n.wright

Hmm I guess I should also ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Would be useful to have a BFL with my 2xIcarus to help resolve any problems with mining all 3 (Icarus + GPU + BFL) in cgminer ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I guess I shouldn't point out that doing a mod of the number favours some first % of the shares by getting 1 extra chance at winning ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Yep, enter early! It's like a 1-in-58,640,620 advantage for the first entrant vs the last entrant with 10,000 entries! (i.e., not significant; you reduce your odds of winning 10,000 times more than this by simply using someone else's referral when entering this contest; you increase your odds 10,000 times more by waiting, by having more information to determine optimal number of tickets to buy). There is profit potential for either entrants or Matthew, I don't think a profit is guaranteed (unless this is a free evaluation unit that must be given away, etc); most raffles/auctions/lotteries that have been tried around here have few participants. This is one of the more significant; we know the organizer actually has the fabulous prize, the prize is rare, and the organizer has some reputation. It goes down in a week - if MNW flakes, we'll get 건달 on him...

I think you mean 무자비. And I can't flake. I used a noun, not an adjective, as in Marcellus Wallace, not medieval, and removed the article to sound more hangulgooey. I only know bedroom Korean though.

It's a hedge based on how honest you think the person is.

Go Bitcoin go!
