I think you should start that raffle now because I would be quite interested in that but I cannot speak for everyone else.

Kind of dissapointing that he took the coins... I know its easier for you guys but its no different than bitlotto ... the whole point was getting the hashing power ....

I kind of agree. It was neat that it was different than just BTC but kind of sad it changed right at the end. BitLotto is different though. I don't offer an prize and sell way more tickets than the prize is worth. I just always pay 99% of whatever people put in. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Offering an amount at the beginning to raffle off would IMHO be a rip off. The suckers at the beginning would play but everyone else would wait till the end to see if the number of tickets sales is higher or lower than the prize amount. If it's lower it's a good deal and the operator ends up losing BTC. If it's higher than the money is better spent at BitLotto for the odds are better compared to the prize. Who knows how many people would really pay attention though.

We also over delivered on option #2 by paying 110% PPS which cncguru was super excited about. It was his choice to make. Finally, the results of the raffle, IMHO, went off without hassle and we had third party validation of the results. I could not have asked for a better result and am very pleased with how things turned out.

True , but why give him the option? It wasn't in the original post. Anybody could start a raffle with 200 btc as a prize. Yours was special BECAUSE it was Mining power as a prize. Will It be possible to trade the the next 1st prize ( BFL thingy) for its worth in coins? Oh well, maybe I'm just trolling but its the way I feel.... Still congrats to the winner ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I think we should also give a prize for the highest hash. Just as impressive (or likely) as the lowest one: fffbfd600aa2d0e0eb2ee5439a91865cceb96b3505a235c57d24a3b945ff9b4f Ticket holder 402 a preliminary congrats (no prize though)! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) 'tis a good point. I'll kick giga a BTC to pay the highest hash. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Well this is an excellent idea, it is no easy thing to get the furthest possible hash from the winning one, though it doesn't in the least surprise me that it was one of my tickets (from 369 to 413) that scooped the booby prize, thanks to the OPs for a fun game & whilst not the best in town I still enjoyed it. Congrats to cncguru, Bravo! ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Edit: & re offering a BTC cash alternative prize option after the draw, I don't have any problem with this - if it's what the winner wishes to choose then that's an extra benefit to him & if someone else had won it & choose to go with the mining contract then the OPs would honer that & help set it up for them if needed so np, same for any future BTC cash equivalents - they're a bonus that's all

So since you still have all the mining power available to you, how much will it cost me to have a stress test against my instance of ecoinpool that I set up? I only want an hour or 2 of lots of speed to see how well it works.

I'm working on a central config that would allow me to do this pretty easily (giga probably has a better setup in this respect) But given the number of rigs I'd have to change over in my present setup it would be a lot of work if you needed a lot of hash power. How many gh/s are you thinking?

"what would you do with your winnings"
another bonus for the winner in taking an instant BTC cash prize option instead of mining for a week is that it gave him the potential to sell those 300 odd coins (haven't checked prob 220 - 250 but same principle) @ > $5.10 then short 10:1 on Btca with the $ equivalent of 3,000 coins margin, buying back in today < $4.9 for a clear $600 profit on the short, so now holding $2,130 or 435 coins, one third more in just 1 day after the spreads say, so that even BTC bears may want to play

In case anyone was wondering, 50 BTC of the proceeds from this raffle went to ckolivas for his work in reengineering the networking portion of cgminer to make it work better with gpumax.
Thanks ckolivas!
