75mod8 = 3 but the possible outcomes are 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7

So since the result is 3 i think it is the 4th entry that should be rewarded.

smarloc that is.

But then again smarloc is an account that was created 4 mins after you posted the raffle
so it is possible that it is a second account of True___Blue.

Who knows  Grin
Aww, you caught me Grin

Just kidding, I've been lurking for a while and just decided to create an account.

Ok, eight entries.

8 / 2 = 4

Fourth entry was smarloc

SHA-1 of "smarloc" is 7b5e5e3f8f80ca256612477edf39f04693ba5553

First two digits are 75

75 mod 8 = 3

So the WINNER is: True___Blue.

Would anyone care to confirm or dispute, based on the original rules?  Assuming not, I will send money to True___Blue's address in 10 minutes.
 
Aww, I got excited when I saw my name.

I'm sorry to the old guy who is railing on me for being new.  BUT I AM NEW.
I was new once. I have no problem with new people.

Again, I'm "railing on" you because you are trying to "buy trust." That's not how it works.

Well there's $13 I'll never see again...

Sorry your raffle didn't go that well, I would have entered had I been at my computer before it ended. You used a pretty interesting method of determining the winner

I don't believe first/last have any higher chance than anyone else.  It was all random based on the hash of the selected user.  75 mod 8 just means the remainder when you divide 75 by 8.  75 / 8 = 9 with a remainder of 3.  So counting to the 75th user cyclically around the 8 entries, you end up on the third person.  Hope that helps.

All, I would greatly appreciate a trust indication from you indicating .1 btc at risk, identifying this thread.  I'm sorry to the old guy who is railing on me for being new.  BUT I AM NEW.  We're all just trying to get trust and out of newbie hell...

75 mod 8 = 3 ? 75 divided by 8 ? didnt understand that one

to be clear, winner will still get paid, despite the old pro rippin' on me for being new.
Oh sure, feel free to give out money. That's welcome. It's the "I gave you 13 bucks so trust me plz" thing that has me worried.
