Got my BFL Single today and I'm raffling it away for 0.5BTC!

[Otoh]

I will shoot myself if astana, dareq or some other scammer ends up winning this.

What will happen if that is the case?

We would then have their shipping address and other personal information, and it would be winrar.

But what about the BFL Single? Will they receive that as well

or one of these? painted balck of course with just the red nose LED-ed

[wogaut]

Me thinks entree in line #11936 in the salted hash table won, no?

Checking... (it's just my phone and me...)

Uhh, obviously I'd send it to the winner regardless.

The first 4936 tickets have 27,303,493 chances to win.  The rest of the tickets have 27,303,492.  Very small but a slight bias towards the earlier tickets.  To be even the max valid random number is 40270 * 27303492  - 1 = 1099511622839. Just exclude numbers larger than that.

All I have to say to this..0xFFFFFFFFFF you... (thought someone could make a math joke in the thread that wasn't also a math fail...)

The official block to determine the winning ticket number will be 171,450.

Still needs to be confirmed some more to avoid the chance of a blockchain reorg, but I think we have our winner.

Ohh God, we're all screwed.

This is the perfect way to fake a raffle (I'm not hinting in anyway at all this is the case)

I understand it in theory, I just need to see it done and explained.

It's not salted. It's just the e-mail address.

As for that being the true winner, I'll wait until DeepCeleron, DeathandTaxes and Theymos all sign off on it (since they seem to be the most knowledgeable about this method of confirming).
