663 tickets have now been sold. What are you going to do with your BFL single?

Build a better Arduino. What else would you do with a BFL?

All wrong, I'll use it for:
    Packet integrity verification
    MonteCarlo Calculation support
    Custom contracted functions

There's also some 2 step SHA256 block hash functionality on it, and rumors has it that somebody used it for some sort of mining operation, but hey, nothing beats MonteCarlo simulations!  Grin Grin Grin

So how do I know my ticket numbers? Will they be posted so I can find them via my email address?

Hi Ilovebitcoins,

Ticket numbers are based off of when your ticket was purchased in relation to the other orders. All tickets will be posted right after 5pm on Friday and before we decide what block will create the final hash.

Best,

Raffles can only be done by charitable/non-profit organizations. In Florida, in particular, you can not require payment to enter any raffle. Some organizations get around this by asking for a recommended donation, but no payment can officially be required.
I'll bet that if you look into it, you will probably find that the law applies to raffles where tickets are sold for "money", I.E. USD. I doubt the government will give 2 shits about what they view as a raffle that is denominated in "internet funny money".

agreed, Gigavps your doing the right thing - better off being sure than sorry.

Either way I am going to look into what it takes to comply with all local, state and federal regulations before continuing with another raffle.

We will conclude this raffle with a winner. The winner will get a BFL single in days instead of 12 weeks, which is how long i waited.

Oddly, not everyone here on the forum is in the USA ...

Location:   Olrando, FL

Oddly, Gigavps is from Florida the state in question ...

I sincerely doubt that anyone cares at this point in time but best to proceed carefully gigavps.
