Meanwhile - wow Matthew is gonna make a fortune out of this

I hope to recoup the price only. I support BFL.

anyone offering to pay postage is foolish Tongue
I would never make anyone pay for postage. That's totally boring. This thing is supposed to be fun.

(At the $4.90 gox value at the moment he only needs 123BTC to cover the $600 it probably cost him)
Mine cost me $650 (shipping to Korea isn't cheap) because I got in late I guess. I heard some others got one for $500 and less. I don't know if that's true.


I'm still convinced you are Atlas Cheesy

If you make your money back are you gonna raffle another one?

Definitely! Next time though, Mihai has instructed me to do it through the Bitcoin Magazine as a giveaway of sorts for involvement etc. We'll see what we come up with. I have my own crazy ideas, but everyone around me has their own too, and I don't always talk to them before I jump the forums and do crazy shit.


You do exist after all, Matthew!

I profoundly apologize for ever doubting your existence  Grin Grin Grin

Impressive, really!


Lol. Of course I exist.

I guess I shouldn't point out that doing a mod of the number favours some first % of the shares by getting 1 extra chance at winning Smiley

Matt are you a white guy living in Korea?

I was born in Seoul. lol.

Hah!

Yea, I've been in Korea 7 years now. Started out my first year working at some schools and then got so sick of the backwards education system here that I decided to start my own small international school. We had about 200 students go through our school but after three years of fighting the Korean system, we learned that our entire curricular concepts (although standard in America) are still 10 years too early in Korea.

Ironically, since closing, I've already seen copycat schools opening up and universities are starting to do what we were doing too.

It has been a wild ride though. Here's some random colorful photos of me and some of my students when I owned the school (유치부부터 대학부있었지만, 초등학생들 재일많았어요.). There are thousands so I just picked the ones that seemed the most interesting. (last pic is from one of the airlines I partnered with for English testing)

I'm curious Matthew,
I thought you are located in Seoul, South Korea.
Why is the raffle page on bit-pay.com saying Baekdu Mountain, Pyeongyang Korea North?


 Shocked

Because North Korea has such an open connection to the Interwebz... duhh... it's the central source for all free enterprising e-currencies.

And Baekkdu...   Obviously the perfect location between N. Korean and China to conduct Bitcoin Business.

White Head... Matt are you a white guy living in Korea?

I was born in Seoul. lol.

I never win anything, but it is worth a shot.

FYI: I picked the first person to post as email for referral (at least the first I saw).
Referrer's e-mail address: [email protected]

refer me if you like [email protected]

So, when you submit say 20 credits for the raffle without referral, you are voting 20 times for yourself (to win).

When you do it with referral, you are voting 21 times for yourself and 5 times for someone else (and reduce your chances to win relative to the other person) .

So why are you doing that?

Use me as your referral, [email protected], and if I win I'll pay everyone who used my referral their 0.50BTC back.

How are you going to verify that?

1) If I don't win, I won't have to.
2) If I do win, just PM me your BTC addr and the email you used to enter with and i'll confirm it with our nice raffle host.

Anybody want to make a javascript page to do the ticket-picker math I specify above?
http://pastebin.com/6LqsUgUg

Address is in signature if you want to say thanks.
It gets the same answer, I'll have to see how many hash digits will overflow JS and I'll host a page. Will send you thanks!

Use my referral,

mb300sd tormail net

and I'll give you 10BTC and my first weeks worth of hashing if I win.

I feel strangely bewildered: Why should anybody refer anyone else (unless they share the same income)?
You would just support the other one (.25 > .05)! No?

And they say Bitcoin's principle is built on the prisoner's dilemma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma

The irony, aahhh the irony

I don't get the drift.


The address is an easter egg/joke and doesn't matter.
