There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

What ticket price would you like to see?

You could win with as little as 2 matching numbers and 0 matching star numbers (users select 5 numbers and 2 star numbers per ticket bought).

the idea and structure looks interesting but the problem is the fact that there were plenty of bitcoin lottery sites (and few threads in this section too in the past to manually do lotteries) and as far as I know those existing barely had any activity.

Much like euro-millions.com where users pay xBTC per box (5 numbers and 2 stars must be chosen). As many boxes can be purchased. Of course they will be purchased though the blockchain (embedded messages in TX IDs) to ensure validity and reliability.

Numbers range from 1-50 and stars from 1-9.

A draw occurs and tiers include:
5 Numbers and 2 Stars
2 Numbers and 0 Stars
(and all combinations between)

Each tier would payout differently (5 Numbers and 2 Stars being the jackpot).

The prize pool would likely be above 5BTC.

Thoughts?

im interested, lets try some luck in 2015

how about some pool about the ticket price?  Cheesy


EDIT : ticket price should be low enough to gather more partcipant lets say 0.005 - 0.02 / ticket

I like lottery, but I don't like the idea.
I will be interested if your lottery just like sydneypools, singaporepools or hongkongpools, and we can bet in 2 and 3 digits.

0.001 or 0.0001 would be good? That way people can buy several tickets without spending too much money.

Turn off the news and read. Watch Psywar, learn something important about our society and PR, why and how it got started and how it brainwashes you.

0.005-0.01 sounds more reasonable in my opinion. You'll need tons of tickets to reach a 5 btc prizepot with tickets costing 0.0001 only

The ticket price should be at least 0.01BTC so that we could at least reach 1BTC. I don't expect thousands to join this lottery so the ticket price should be kept above 0.01BTC.

The prize pool would be funded by myself initially, not ticket buyers. Thus the price per ticket can be lower than 0.01BTC.

Honestly I didn't like lotteries very much so I'm not interested in purchasing a ticket, but I think Bitcoin lotteries might be nice because it can be all based on blockchain, so to ensure fairness and validity.

I'd rather go for the 0.001 BTC ticket price. You could get a lot of people to buy tickets.

Most people wouldn't think twice about buying a ticket since it isn't a lot of money.

0.01 could be around two meals where I come from. I wouldn't really trade that for a very small chance at winning a lottery.
