Weekly Contest

 

33 HOUR TO GO

I am announcing a raffle/contest for a Fury ASIC miner from GAW miners. http://www.gawminers.com/products/1-3-mh-s-the-fury-by-gaw-miners-asic-scrypt-miner-same-day-shipping-1/   Or .1 BTC

How to enter. Send FireCoin to pay for entry to the donations address listed in OP. I will use you tx ID as your entry ticket and if you buy multiple entries I will add appropriate number of entries. PM me your tx ID and I will draw from all tx ID's the winner AUG 1st GMT.
Or go to our website http://firecoin.tk/community/weekly-drawing/ to enter

Cost of entries
1 entry equals 10 Fire
12 entries equal 100 Fire

Please only send in increments of 10 or 100. ie: 20 30 400 not 25. I will not add up if you send 25 and 25 and say but i had 50 fire I should have 5 entries. If you send this it will be 4 entries (25=2 entries)

Note this is going into the donation fund not my personal account but I will move donations as I see fit to best serve this coin. Biggest thing will be better prizes and marketing. I hope to get up to where I am giving a Ipad or a large miner with thousands of dollars. Future prizes will be purely based off the success of past contests.

Great. Looks like the competition is heating up, err.. firing up i mean :p

[presstab]

So i have been thinking of ways to make this as transparent as I can. In the future we hope to be using the website for drawings but for now it will be done by hand. As you guys send you your TX id's and I confirm how many entities you have I will enter that ID into a excel spreadsheet with a number next to it starting at 1 and going up though however many entries we have. Once I close the entities I will post a screen shot of the excel spread sheet. I will then use a random number generator to generate a number 1-number of entries. I will post this screen shot and then I will match the TX id with a user here that PM'ed me that ID. I will not know the username until I go through the PM and match. I will then contact the person and ask what form of payment they prefer. Hope this clarifies the processes a little. And I hope this will be fun and that I can continue this on a weekly basis.

I think you should take the first four hexadecimal characters of the first Firecoin block solved after August 1st, 2014 and convert them from hex to decimal value. In which case, you will get a number between 0 and 65535. You could divide 65535 by the number of entries and determine the value/interval of each entry for the drawing, then compare the lucky number to each value for the drawing and determine which is closest. This would ensure the drawing/contest would be completely randomly based as a lot of gambling/betting websites are and give confidence to potential contestants/investors.

Yep block chain is the only provably random way to do it. But as long as everyone trusts your number generator then it should be fine.

I will definitely look into this method for the future until the website is up.

Agreed. Tom14cat14 is doing a great job and we've all seen his commitment here. I still gotta get to making a lottery/drawing script and then can put it on the website at some point.

I will do that. I will have to see if he has a donation address. I just wish we had more miners because that would help out greatly.

Thank you guys. I am still not even have the developer of press. After what I have seen with HYP I am a believer in him and now i see why everyone followed him to that coin. I  did not think he could pull off 750% thats why I dumped in the past but I am buying some slowly because of what I have seen him do.

Not long until the draw guys.

I thought I would give away an entry to the first person to get it. Simply import the private key into your wallet using the firecoin console and the funds for a single entry will appear in you're wallet shortly afterwards.

Go and get that Fury ASIC miner for me

Instructions:

1)Download the firecoin wallet.

Navigate to:

2)Help -> Debug Window -> Console Tab

Enter:
3) importprivkey RAekt8LbZXtyGtZvT26egwLQpitCQHyx86VCJ9kiSNGT9KVtWGAG

4) wait for funds to arrive.

5) send coins to new address immediately.

Good Luck!

[james42]

Unless it was 11 coins? In which case, thank you very much

Edit: Entered competition :-)

[thes3cr3t1]

yea 11 coins I wanted you to have change. good luck mate.

[tom14cat14]

70 entries so far. Good luck to all that have entered. we have 1 hours and 18 mins until I close the contest and then will draw the number. It will be a random number generator from on-line. I will post the Screen shot of the number generated. And I will post google doc with all the tx id's with their number. They are all in order that I received but since it is random it really does not matter if they are mixed up if you have multiple entries.

[tom14cat14]

1 Hour to go!!!

Hehe, explain this.. seems fun. Some kind of reward system in number of posts?
