Just bumping to see if there is more interest. If not I will probably raffle off the top prizes individually.

For example (Block hash ending in):
0-8 0 - entrant A - meaning 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
9-f 0 - entrant B - meaning 90, a0, b0, c0, d0, e0, f0
0-8 1 - entrant C
9-f 1 - entrant D

This would generate 32 tickets with even probabilities of winning.

Your hex calculations are broken.
There would be significant higher probability to hit entrant A and C versus entrant B and D.

Instead use
0-7 and 8-F for the second last nibble.

Thanks, I just noticed that when you mentioned it. Will update

Great

Will be know the prices of the raffle or will it be a mystery??
I'll  prefer to know them
I'll release a list of all the prizes.

Great!
look forward to it!

Also , i hope that since ticket cost will be high and it might take time to fill all tickets - so probably just register name and then when all filled - take payment ??

Just what i think Smiley

Registering names wouldn't be a bad idea.

I'm also trying to find other fair ways to generate numbers other than blockchain. At the moment I could do 25 prizes varying from 0.06BTC to 4.0BTC. But it wouldn't evenly distribute chances among block hashes.

For example (Block hash ending in):
0-8 0 - entrant A - meaning 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
9-f 0 - entrant B - meaning 90, a0, b0, c0, d0, e0, f0
0-8 1 - entrant C
9-f 1 - entrant D

This would generate 32 tickets with even probabilities of winning.

To tell you i didn't understood it at all Undecided

I'll use real blocks as an example:

Say the raffle used block 413332 then 413333 and so on and so on.
Block #413333, the hash ended in "4d"
Block #413332 ended in "50"

So if you picked "0-8 0" you would get the first prize.
If you picked "0-8 d" you would get the second prize.

The entry list looks like this:
Code:
0-8 0 - Person A
9-f 0 -
0-8 1 -
9-f 1 -
0-8 2 -
9-f 2 -
0-8 3 -
9-f 3 -
0-8 4 -
9-f 4 -
0-8 5 -
9-f 5 -
0-8 6 -
9-f 6 -
0-8 7 -
9-f 7 -
0-8 8 -
9-f 8 -
0-8 9 -
9-f 9 -
0-8 a -
9-f a -
0-8 b -
9-f b -
0-8 c -
9-f c -
0-8 d - Person B
9-f d -
0-8 e -
9-f e -
0-8 f -
9-f f -

Looks awesome!! Cheesy

Look forward to what the prices will be Cheesy Cheesy

Personally, I wouldn't spend 1BTC for a chance to get a 0.06 prize, even if I could win a 4BTC prize. Smiley

Yea, I can understand that. So far with 25 prizes, tickets would be 0.64, if I had a fair way of generating numbers. Meaning I cannot alter the results.

I tried to run raffles for BTC in the games and rounds section, my way was to upload a small video of each drawing using a bitcoin gambling site for number generation and hashes as proof.

Yes. I would play, but maybe make the tickets a little lower or more tickets...

thanks
I can probably get it down to 0.5 per ticket with 32 tickets, I'll just need to find more prizes.

I can supply some prizes if you would like.... Cheesy

I think if you broke up the Cas set and added some other fun prizes, you'd get more interest
I will likely do that, just need to get more prizes to fill the last slots.

I will play too Cheesy

So everyone wins Grin Huh
That is what I would like to do.

As always love the raffles but I will probably be priced out of this one.

Will be awesome to watch though.

I'm with minerjones on this one - 1 btc is a lot to many of us - I am still trying to figure out if I want to buy one of those new BTCC titanium coins as well, so now I'm on hold for a bit, until I see what your prizes may be... Looking forward to that part!?  Cheesy
