Refunded

I will sum all the return addresses up in a PM to Blazed. Please have a little patience as Blazed is a busy man I think .

Return address: 15U5koNfcBoQSSJTuicgSekt9fEg4aPcZv

Thank you!

Mine can be returned here

Thanks

Sorry to see the raffle cancelled.
Blazed, please PM for a new address for the refund, as I paid for my spots from Polo.

Yeah no kidding, haha I'm sure it won't last long.

I have asked Blazed to do the refunds and I will pay him all transaction fees etc.

I to expected more people would join with 2 or 3 tickets cause of the low entry, guess we were both wrong.

I've decided to get the casascius coin graded by anacs, I never had a graded ms69 in my hands . Coin will probably for sale after that.

all cool dude - as long as you refund the rest of them - no grudge. I had to cancel a raffle - it happens man

No one should hold a grudge here so long as all the refunds are sent out. This was an attempt at a huge raffle, but given the lower entry price point I would have assumed it would be full by now. Maybe next time. 

It wasnt something I was looking forward either, there would effectivly be a 50% chance in that case to give this coin away for free. But I guessed it would be better then cancelling this. I dont feel a grudge or anything about it towards you or anything, it is your good right to pull your reservations when I change the raffle rules halfway. I just like to thank everyone that made a reservation and tried getting this off the ground.

sorry buddy - but stacking the house just isn't fly in my eyes.

I think in that case I will for now cancel this auction and ask our trusted escrow to refund those already paid. The interest at the moment is not high enough for this raffle.

If in the future it looks like there will be a higher chance this will succees I might try it again.

Thanks everyone for the trust in this raffle and me and lets hope the other big raffle is a big succes.

bud - im not up for that - please take away my reserves... a more attractive raffle has appeared.

sorry.

Gonna have to take a gamble in this.

1) If in 24 hours no new tickets have been sold I will fill up all remaining tickets with my name. Effectively almost halving the revenue of this raffle for me and taking a big gamble.

I do need all participants to agree with this.

2) I will remove the maximum amount of tickets that people can reserve from now on. If the entrants want to they can reserve more spots now.

bud if this doesn't go in the next few days i will want to pull my reservation - dont want to be on the hook if this takes too long.

Get your ticket now! 50% of the tickets are left, reserve your preferable spot now.

If tickets dont start coming in next days I might lift the max tickets per person and see if there is more interest from them.

I wouldnt want to cancel this auction, and it cant be because of entryfee. Those prizes are worth every Satoshi of the 2.56 btc total entry. Selling these items seperately would yield over 2.56btc.

Could be one or two off by manually counting now but I think there are 138 slots left at the moment. Nearly 50% full. And I agree, I want to get this show on the road. This coin needs to leave cause it is too pretty and it is yelling out: "Don't ship me away I'm soooo pretty". When coins start yelling that to you it is time for them to go to their new owner.

How many slots are left blaater? I want to spin this one soon

Updated! Thank you for the payment.

5 spots randomly added on the list. Thanks for joining.

5 random spots please
txid c1bd17e37468cac20780c5ee1876d0c79583b3dc69bb7c8c1754a12e39651b44

At least 2BTC, and if held on to for long enough, who knows really. Beautiful coin!

I agree, this is one of those coins that when graded can fetch you 2BTC who doesnt want a MS-69 Casascius coin?

(yes this is a bump).

Weekend is almost over, lets fill it up!

Great pictures and the coin does look stunning! Whoever wins is surely a lucky fella and can be a proud owner of that one

sent! 0.07

The coins from TookDK arrived today as expected. And really, this is a steal. The coin is EASILY a MS-68 and I'd say it is most likely a MS-69 if you get this graded. I have not seen a better coin from 2012 in this condition. I've taken the liberty to make some more pictures, they can be found here http://imgur.com/a/stUDF

Done!

Random: 2-4 and 6-B
Number 0: 5-0, 7-0, F-0
Number 8: 8-8 and E-8

get me 2 random slots
three number 0
and two of 8

total 7 slots

Remind me to pay once it's near

Done, the dices randomly selected group C, spot A.


Done, 48 pieces, 3 in each. Too many to list here.
I've not yet added you as you specifically mention if we use the other newer way. If you do want to participate, let me know.

Over 100 spots have been reserved or paid now. In fact we are getting close to 128 which is the 50% mark. If you want to have any preferences left on your spots, this is the time to get in as more and more spots are being taken.

I want to reserve 3 spots for each group please (48 in total). Please assign a number randomlym

I know right? This raffle is nuts man! Haha.

Put me down for one slot, I just sent the coins to the escrow address. You pick the position Blaater, I don't trust myself to do it.

Might have been easier for the next time, but this way it does up the tension cause you will only know the group that won first block, where your method the winner is instantly known. But your method is indeed a lot easier and probably better understandable for others. I will probably use it for the next one as people already signed up using this method now.


Done

Done, only in group 1 was slot 9 taken, you have a total of 47 entries this way.

6/9/D in as many as I can please.

let me know how much I owe and will pay when you are 50% full.

this is all too confusing for me

If we do that I would like to reserve 1e, e0

Weekend is arriving, let us get this show on the road!

With the drop in btc value the last 2 days this is a great time to pick up your ticket cheap now.

I did not sign it and doubt my signature would help the value at all. The signature that matters is obviously Mike's!

Will update! Thank you for the clarification.

Am I correct that the newer hardcovers are 'missing' Mike's signature and he only signed the softcover series 1 batch?

It is 2017, maybe your luck has changed .

I hope this big raffle format will be a succes, multiple bigger prizes should attract people.

Any profit I make with these raffles will be invested into new prizes, hopefully the prizes that way will increase every raffle.

Who knows, we might start 2018 with a 10 btc coin prize haha.

New raffle format, I'm not lucky with these things, but be interesting to watch how it goes.

I would like to officially confirm that Blaater is the owner of the Casascius 2012 1 BTC coin (1Css1766).
If I may add, the 2012 coin is in remarkable good condition, any collector would be proud to own this coin.

Good luck to all with this raffle.

I will take 4 slots

Group 1 - Slot 2
Group 2 - Slot 3
Group A - Slot 4
Group D - Slot 5

Done, both the reservations and scaling the images. Thanks for the tip.

Great, I get it now!

Could I please reserve "4" in Group 4, "a" in Group F and "0" in Group 9. Payment will follow once spots are beginning to fill up.

EDIT; Could you perhaps make the pictures a bit smaller? There's a lot of scrolling as it is now.

You can easily do this by adding an "l" to the end of the link, like this: https://i.imgur.com/6Th4mZe"l".jpg, without "".

Yes, this is possible, there will be no limit to amount of prizes won.

Thank you for letting me know, how about several prizes for one winner, is it possible?

Each person can have a maximum of 16 x 3 tickets. 3 tickets per group max.

Shipping is included in the ticket price.

Seems like a complex raffle, but you have some very sweet prizes there.

Just to be clear, is there a max 3 spots for the entire raffle? Can one person win several prizes? Does winner pay for shipping?

Looking forward to see how this will unveil.
