I see an error that will require republication of a corrected list by MNW. As alluded to above, BTC amounts are in the list, not ticket amounts (BTC x2). However referrals were likely paid as though BTC=tickets, causing referrals to pay double.

Since the list of "credits" is BTC amounts (not "tickets"), the list of credits should have had one more digit of accuracy, with amounts like 0.525


  • Provide your e-mail address to a referral
  • When they purchase their raffle credits, they will receive an additional 5% credit for each credit they purchase.
  • You will receive an additional 25% credit for each credit purchased through the referral.
Referral example:

You purchase 1 credit. You now have 1 raffle credit.
Friend 1 purchases 1 credit through your referral e-mail.
You now have 1.25 raffle credits. Friend 1 now has 1.05 raffle credits.

So with BTC as the amounts, it would have needed three-digit accuracy if done right:
-When you don't use a referral, your 0.5 BTC became 0.5 credits (confirmed from my entry),
-when you use a referral, your 0.5 BTC becomes 0.525 credits (a bonus of 5%, 0.025 credits).
-when you receive a referral, you receive .125 credits.

It looks like the "referral" program gave twice the percentage it should have, since everything in the list is in increments of 0.05.



One of the best movies ever!!

I appreciate the effort by the person who made the list but personally I think it would be unacceptable for anyone to produce a list other than the OP (Matt)

Not that I think anyone would cheat but it surely is not a good idea for a contestant in this raffle to compile the list that is used to determine the winner.

I was wondering when this would come up  Grin

But instead of having 3 digits, just convert BTC to raffle credits (*2) and keep 2 digits.

... and add the referrals _after_  multiplication of course...

I'm actually coming to the conclusion that our leaderless movement has infected the Raffle.

I have an idea.

@Matthew: print out 209~ tickets, put them in a container, and have a lightly dressed korean girl pull the winning number.

Do this live on ustream.tv or another streaming platform.



Nope, that would be 20645 (20644 including the "0" number) tickets, otherwise the shares would not be reflected properly in the probability game.

What the hell was the point in selling raffle tickets then? Oh well, I guess I didn't follow the whole thread. Nevermind, as long as things go as they should Smiley

All paid signature campaigns should be banned.
Hmm checked the list, and It seems as if I only got half the tickets I purchased.

It lists number of BTC paid, not number of tickets Smiley Thus the x.5s

What about the 3 digit numbers?
What you do is look at the first two columns.  There is a first and a last number.  Those are your numbers.  If the random number falls between your first and your last then you win.  The range of numbers you get is determined by the amount of BTC times 100, so if you spent 5.25 BTC then you get 525 numbers out of the entire range of possible numbers.

Those numbers are in BTC, not tickets.

So, how hard and complicated can we make it to figure out a single secure and fair random number between 0 and 20644?
Pretty easy once the future block is specified: http://we.lovebitco.in/lottery.html
You should do the math yourself too, since I now could know my ticket number and craft a devious web page.  Grin

What about the 3 digit numbers?
The last column in my list is credits * 100, the actual number of tickets, necessary because of the fractions from referrals.

Edit:  I am thinking of a number right now - can we use mine?

I will not post anything inflammatory for 72 hours.


Can we raffle this?

(going into a coma would not count)

I want it the other way. I will pay .5BTC for LoupGaroux to post more inflammatory comments. He just cracks me up.

Entered the raffle also!! Go me!

I think you're a bit late...

Wondering why the page would not load to get the ticket. One day I will start to look at the date thingy on the posts.
