Yes because walking to the postoffice and mailing a BFSingle to the winner is going to be REALLY complicated.

Yea, still waiting for that magazine that I paid for awhile back.

[kakobrekla]

Well, why not

*buys some tickets*

[Ferroh]

So this is an anonymous raffle, where this guy can just 10000 tickets from himself if he wants, lowering everyone else's odds?

[cablepair]

Just think of it as a fundraiser for.... Idunno. Matt, putting stuffed monkeys in the Bitcoin magazine packaging, obese Americans requiring medical care?

I wanted to buy a few of those icarus boards but I found out he does not accept dwolla too late! I had already sold a boat load of coins for that purpose....


I think those icarus boards are very well built in fact I try to recommend them to people every chance I get, its amazing one person handles that entire business - props to ngzhang

So this is an anonymous raffle,

a·non·y·mous   [uh-non-uh-muhs]
adjective
1.
without any name acknowledged, as that of author, contributor, or the like: an anonymous letter to the editor; an anonymous donation.
2.
of unknown name; whose name is withheld: an anonymous author.

Learn 2 engrish.

where this guy can just 10000 tickets from himself if he wants, lowering everyone else's odds?

I guess it's possible, but since the entire list of sold tickets will be made public at the end of the auction, it'd be a very expensive scam for me wouldn't it?

You see, if I were to be involved in such a petty small-time scam for a few hundred bucks, I'd give up the tens of thousands of dollars I am already able to make in the Bitcoin community doing legitimate work.

Why don't you take a seat and I'll call you when the raffle ends.

Good point. Will do. I'll do one better and put it as a. Google shared doc.

I just created a new email for it.
Best spam solution coz you also know who or where your email address was garnered from.

I do that every time I sign up to anything on the planet ... I've got about 550 email addresses - rarely have to close them down ... the latest one that got spam was one I registered at the bioware forum for mass effect 3 years ago - started getting spam this week ... no idea why, but I just remove the address and bye bye spam
(of course it also helps that I own 30 domains)
I do have a few addresses that have been getting spam for over 10 years that I use for training my Bayesian filter - they get around 300 spam a day - last time I checked ... a year or so ago.

There, some useless info about spam from someone who's (not very successfully) been fighting it for well over 10 years

LOL - well yes that's the biggest cause of spam AND computer problems.
I used to fix home computers but got sick of doing that.
90% of the time the problem was some male member of the house was downloading porn that the other members of the house didn't know about ... I got varying different responses to my description of the problem and how to avoid it in the future

There's a better way - sign up for hushmail service. Its free for a year, then it costs $30/year.

They have a feature called pseudonyms - you can add an unlimited number of these to your account, they are just like creating a new email account. If you get spam on a specific pseudonym, just delete it from your list.

WIFE: I dont understand how we keep getting viruses!
HUSBAND: Here son - take an extra $20 for doing such a great job!
