OK folks. Thing will happen in the order below just like the last raffle.

1. 5pm arrives
2. We shut down all purchase buttons
3. We publish the hashed emails with ticket numbers and ticket hashes
4. We declare the block hash that will become the third part of the final hash for each ticket
5. Block arrives
6. Publish the results with the block hash and final hash without determining a winner
7. Allow third parties to declare which final hash is the winner
8. Verify third party results

This time I will put *IMPORTANT MESSAGE* on any message from me in this thread that pertains to figuring out something about winning this raffle.

... Tickets have been purchased so far. What are you going to do with your new BFL single?

Well obviously I'm going to raffle it away the moment that it arrives, ...

No, don't!

Auction it off on Bitmit.net!  Grin

Well obviously I'm going to raffle it away the moment that it arrives, you've sold 1,200 tickets so 300 BTC minus say 10% discount on average = 270 * $5.15 = $1,390 & that's plenty for 2 brand new Singles with shipping plus plenty more left over once this finishes, beats mining with it but even at these poor odds I'm going in now for a block of 60 tickets for myself & a friend - I must be crazy but I'm having a good week  so WTH

Thats kinda sketchy the guy said he bought 314 tickets and said now giga knows which block to choose. I am not saying anything wrong is going on at this point but I really did not like how he said it was gonna be private to a via PM. I trust and respect giga so hopefully this thing goes off without a hitch.

However I will be really skeptical if that person wins. What are other people's feelings? Also I don't know he is going to win because I already won. LOL!  Grin

Positive thinking plus my lucky smoke equals positive results. Not to mention my user name is Ilovebitcoins. I really figured that name would have been taken already.

reeses sense of humor is sometimes a little over the top. Per the rules of the raffle, only after a list of the tickets is posted will the block number be selected that will create the final hash for the ticket.

reeses was just joking, don't take it too seriously. If he really was cheating in some way, he wouldn't have bought over 100 BTC worth of tickets. Wink

The method of choosing the winner guarantees that the pick is random. It uses a block hash from the future, which cannot be computed ahead of time, since it is a random number. See the OP for details.

wow, so you made about BTC 250 in tickets. good price to sell a bfl single for, I must say. well, to be fair, it might've gone the other way, too.

You are forgetting discounted tickets which make up a substantial portion of total ticket sales. None the less, this raffle will be profitable.
