It was a nice idea - just a bad product with too many issues, nobody wants them - I can't even get rid of my S4 coupons.....
Thanks I might give it another go when there is some new hardware that's expensive and in demand.

shame, it was a nice idea, Can both big kid and Coopster8888 confirm money back here so I can release escrow back to OP, Thanks.

Can't see this getting off the ground now to be honest mate, which is unfortunate but comes with the low trust levels of people on this forum I suppose, but there are a lot of people on here trying to scam BTC out of un-witting newcomers so people are right to be wary.
I would of thought enough experienced people would of been willing to throw in such a small amount at the chance of this I know I would of definitely bought a few more tickets to up my chances...

It seems that way, still you don't know until you try
I don't think it's a trust thing, I think it's more that the first batch of S4's are having quite a few problems plus it's not that good a deal at BTC4 so even though the odds are good in the raffle itself when you factor in the real value of the S4 it might not be as appealing, I dunno.
Anyway I'll give it to the weekend I think and if there is no interest I'll see if you and coopster just want a refund and I'll close this. I can't see Bitmain ever selling out of this at the moment so it'll save this dragging on for ages and keeping yours and my btc locked up.
I agree that more experienced players would join in..I mean .1BTC is nothing, when you can win it, and before it's sent out sell it and get you to mail direct to them instead of the winner..I mean even if you get 2BTC for a machine that is "worth in bitmain eyes" 4BTC it's still profit...if you close it PM me for my address...hoping that you instead PM me that you're the winner
Ok..all buy them Raffle tickets up so I can win it

I don't see the point of videoing it, but if you like too you're more than welcome..I thought it is a good idea to raffle it off, since ppl like me can't afford 3.77BTC and it makes it fun to see if you can win a S4 for a little bit of cash/coins...

ANTMINER S4 -B2
https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140926075515819D846Og240603
Price:1250 USD ( 3.777 BTC )
And you want to get 4 BTC fir this?
i see 2 scenarios:
1.-Bitcoin price goes up and you get some profits for this.
2.-Bitcoin dont goes up and you lose with the shipping.
How you will proof the provably fair for the winner?

I completely agree that the S4 is way overpriced at BTC4+ that's why I thought the raffle would be a good idea, I wasn't actually expecting to make anything out of this one as it was a test to see if there was interest.
It was orginally posted in the Marketplace, Goods, Computer Hardware forum I didn't even notice this sub-board that we are now in was here.
As for fair, as per the first post all the names will be entered into the random.org third party draw service who will pick the winner, I suppose I could video me doing it if people are really paranoid

Good luck to you both.
Nice to see that bitcoin has continued to fall, so now it's already a losing deal for me as purchase + shipping = BTC4.063
Still them is the breaks as they say and I WILL NOT be backing out

Looks like Tigggger is a stand up guy..looks like he's will to help out us small players, even if he only pays 3.5BTC and pockets the rest, im fine with that..hmmmm .1BTC to win something worth 3.77BTC which I don't have so I couldn't even think about buying an S4..also if you don't understand what a raffle is then maybe you should "Google" it...

squall this is your address? 1HzZyTVni8UuHUdvEtRJ5cJXwmJVgDzDeE
That's my address for receiving the entries (and will be used to pay for the machine), squall holds the BTC6 at his address
Quote
Also, has the question of who will choose the winner been determined? I'm in for two shares if we are all good...why the heck not
As per the first post, I was going to enter all the names into the third party draw service that random.org provides and let them choose the winner. I thought this would be easiest as it takes any decisions out of my hand and there is a public ledger of all the entries and the winner.
October 03, 2014, 08:13:02 AM
What's pending - entrance fee or the draw? Or both?
The entrance fee is fixed, but I want to make sure that there is an escrow in place before I begin accepting entries so people have confidence it's not a scam
OP has contacted me to hold escrow, I have confirmed this and have provided details, My terms are - I have all ways charged nothing for my escrows, I believe it should be the duty of a reputable member to help others, not charge, In the event of this going wrong, OP has given me permission to distribute funds directly from me to avoid any problems, I will all ways accept a tip to my address on profile if you like the service I have provided, Or I will give like for like feedback.
Thats it, Fairly simple, Good luck everyone!!
