You have a link to the BFL raffle thread?

Guy was a scammer (most likely) hasn't posted since August 12. was trying to run this raffle (just send me btc, i'm raffling a GPU) and asked for a LOAN! was asking for a loan in another thread he started

If you're interested in a 5970 raffle let me know. but there's not enough demand for me to sell enough tickets.

there's barely demand to sell 1024 tickets at 0.25 or 0.3BTC for a BFL SINGLE thats 45Gh/s
barely over half the tickets have been sold in 1-3 months

This happening sir?

Is this still open?

I'd be willing to hold the coins as well, with unique wallet addresses so people can't watch and claim they submitted a ticket when it was really someone else

Then make sure the raffle number picked is truly random, like my idea where pick a pool and use the last 2 digits of how many shares it takes to solve a FUTURE block for example, the first block of the next day AFTER raffle is closed
(ticket numbers 0 through 99)

I would be willing to hold these coins in escrow for no fee.

+1

I'm calling scam unless you agree to use escrow for this. If you use escrow, I will probably buy a couple tickets.

There is point holding our money in escrow as this solves your low-trust situation.

The raffle will end after 100 people join it. There is no point of holding your money in escrow because only 1 person is going to win.

1. When is the end date?
2. Will you consider using a trusted escrow agent to hold the BTC until the card is shipped?

Hello Fellow Bitcoiners,

I've been using Bitcoin for a little over one year. I am a bitcoin miner, and have a lot of experience with this whole system.

I've decided to have a raffle for a Sapphire Xtreme 5830 Radeon GPU. This is one of my old GPU's that I used for mining for almost a year. I have upgraded to a 5870 and 6950 now and am very happy with them.

The reason why I am raffling this GPU rather than selling it on ebay is because I want to give you guys a chance to get a GPU for a cheap price and also have fun on bitcointalk because I am a new user.

The way I will be raffling:
To be part of this raffle you must send .1 bitcoin to 1Q9nyaePYxXhPx3mQFR5SJXobpedmzictG

Before you send the bitcoin, comment that you have decided to be part of this raffle so I can keep track of who is in the raffle. (Put your bitcoin wallet address in your comment so I can match your transaction with your comment)

100 people max. After 100 people it is going to be hard to keep track of this raffle, so I will stop the raffle after 100 people.

Choosing the winner:

I have decided that the way I will be choosing the winner is by using random.org

I will assign every comment a number (first comment will be #1, second comment will be #2)

I will put the total amount of comments I have in the random.org randomizer, and get a random number.

That number comment, will be the person that wins.

BTW I will be making a video in the process of choosing a random number, so there will be proof that the winner did legitimately win.

______________

I don't know if this has been done before on bitcointalk, but hopefully you guys have as much fun as I will, and don't forget, if you want to have a bigger chance of winning you can comment more than once and send me a separate transaction so I can keep track with the comments. The more times you comment, the higher chance you will have of being chosen.

I know this requires a level of trust, and that is why I have a low price for entering the raffle, but as I said, the more times you enter, the higher chance you have to win a GPU.

Hope you all have fun.
