[CLOSED] 50Gh 1 week mining contract worth ~230 BTC

[Raize]

GPUMAX is not selling many shares lately...

If they ever activated my account they would be.

[amazingrando]

Just over two days left.  Getting exciting!

Someone on Friday is going to be one VERY happy person!

The numbers people are wanting odds before they place their bets. 

[hashking]

Just bought my tickets.  Can't wait.

[Red Emerald]

Weeeeeeeeeeeee

[jamesg]

The numbers people are wanting odds before they place their bets. 

A couple of people have asked for odds and we are ready to release them...

As of this moment, we have had 75 orders for a total of 546 tickets sold thus far!

So the odds at this point are: 1/546

Good luck to everyone who had bought a ticket so far! 

[jjjrmy]

Just bought 2 tickets.
 

[farfiman]

Enough sold to break even .  Now we can buy tickets to make you a profit

What if the winner wants to point at a pool that doesn't use 1 difficulty shares?

What if the winner wants to point at a pool that doesn't use 1 difficulty shares? 

That's actually a good question. I'd point it at p2pool just to support p2pool.

What if the winner wants to point at a pool that doesn't use 1 difficulty shares? 

I will discuss this with amazingrando. I have over 12Gh of BFL equipment that will not run on p2pool and will get high stales. Also, I am not sure we are going to reconfigure 25Gh of each of our farms to run properly with p2pool. While it's a good idea to support p2pool, the practicalities of the matter are also something to consider.

With ~30 hours to go, your odds of winnning the pot are now:

1/594

Good luck to everyone who had already purchased a ticket. If you haven't, you better hurry, it's just over 1 day before we find out who the lucky winner is!

[darkice]

 2 tickets  , fingers crossed

1/596

Hi deepDown,

We will publish the list once the raffle is over. All emails in the list will be hashed so only you will be able to find your email hash and corresponding ticket numbers.

Ticket numbers are assigned based of when you placed your order. If there are 500 tickets purchased before you and you purchased 1 ticket, you will get ticket number 501.

If you are not a programmer, don't worry, we will post a link that will create the proper hash of your email so you can easily search the list.

Best,

Great! Thanks for the explanation.

Congrats on a successful raffle! Looks like your risk paid off. You'll make more than if you kept it for mining!
Over 90 BTC profit! Sweet!

I was going to play near the end if the total tickets sold kept the risk-win ratio acceptable. Perhaps next time. Too many tickets sold to be worth the 0.5 BTC! Oh well...

Congrats whoever wins.

Thanks bitlotto. Your calculations are a little off because they don't consider the discounts given on bulk tickets. Nevertheless, this raffle will be profitable.

I'll tell you what, you enter my raffle, I'll enter yours!

That wouldn't be a fair deal. Mine has better odds compared to the prize. Just teasing! LOL

I don't do mining. Could I just give you an address if I win that that gets any payouts and you set up the rest?
I'll enter if it's easy to do without running a bitcoind myself.
