Bro, I'm just giving you what was calculated after bitcoin taxes.... lol I swear this Math joke at this forum is getting old. Just for the record the first math mistake was a typo not a math error...

Bitcoin fees are 0.0005 BTC. I accept that. Fair enough. But it's clear for anyone who cares to check the calculations that there is an error. You paid 1st place 0.1 BTC too much and 3rd place 0.091 BTC too little.

I admire your determination to promote the bitcoin economy. You have an entrepreneurial spirit, but maybe you need to take on a business partner to dot the i's and cross the t's, because constant mistakes can erode confidence.

Indeed, you do have a point there.

I'm not going to cry over 9.1 bitcents, but it shows once again that maths is not your strong suit. Scary that you're developing websites that deal with people's money.

Well you follow through, so maybe next time you hold a raffle more people can get on board.

Maybe it just didn't get a lot of traffic due to the forum it was posted in.

Thanks thats a good point, I just might hold another raffle with stakes a little bit higher.

I think a lot of it is uncertainty everyone is/was really use to the price being always above the $8-$10 mark and are experiencing "spending anxiety"

A lottery is usually a cash prize. A raffle is usually a non-cash prize donated for the sole purpose of being "raffled off."

You haven't mentioned anywhere what the prize is.

How is your brews tasting? BTW do you sell any good teas... I'm more of a tea guy then a coffee drinker

Some of my customers have been nice enough to leave some feedback here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40068.0;all

Teas, you ask? Yes, I've got teas: http://bitbrew.net/teas-too/

Well I guess I kind of assumed that it was obvious the prize is how ever many tickets are purchased.

If I can't use the money and this is a raffle the the prize must be the money pot. But your right I should have probably mentioned that.

I want to start a raffle to promote cheaper in Bitcoins, I don't want any of the cut out of the funds I just want to host it. I'm open to suggestions so let me know your thoughts but my idea is to required 1BTC per ticket sent to and address and the winner takes all(or maybe 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners what do you guys like?)
