Hi! Given that the supply is deflationary and there is a BURN function, I am leaning towards 10 or 20 XBL tokens. Can I use the smart contract to send multiple entries in the raffle at once? I am hoping that this is possible. It would be kind of a pain if I wanted 4 tickets in the raffle to have to use the smart contract once for each ticket. I will vote after I get a bit more information.
Hello, yes you can do that.
Basically this works in the following way: Users must first call approve() on the
XBL Contract Address allowing the Raffle to spend tokens on their behalf.
After this, users must call registerTickets() function on the
Raffle Contract Address with the number of tickets they want to register.
Example:
function approve(address _spender, uint256 _amount) returns (bool success)
So the user will first call approve(RAFFLE_ADDRESS, 20000000000000000000) on the
XBL Contract Address. They have just approved the Raffle to spend 20 XBL (+18 zeroes) on their behalf.
function registerTickets(uint256 number_of_tickets) returns (int8 registerTickets_STATUS)
Assuming the price of one ticket is 20, then the user must call registerTickets(20) on the
Raffle Contract Address.
Now you're in. You've just registered a ticket to the raffle. You have the chance to become the grand winner!
All of this is easy for a cryptohead but might seem just a tad bit complicated for your average gambler.
We will be aiming to go mainstream with Billionaire Token and as such we will develop a GUI to be used in conjunction with the
Raffle and the
Burner .
This GUI will use Metamask and will be usable through our website initially. We will also be looking into developing stand-alone clients.
Basically, people will play the
Raffle, play with the
Burner, play Poker and
not even know they're on a blockchain.
It will be gambling for the masses with all the benefits that crypto currencies and blockchain technology brings: accountability, traceability and security.
