Only a ripoff if you intend to buy all the tickets. But if you only bought 1, and paid only 2 BTC, and you won, you have a BFL single.

I'd be willing to do the escrow (for the bitcoins) as well as to conduct the raffle, which will be provably fair. No need to send me the miner, you can send it directly to the winner, and I release the coins after that.


Thanks Dabs for the offer, I'll keep it in mind.

I appreciate all the feedback I have received on this topic.  My goal was not to scam or rip anybody off, I was just looking for a novel way to provide miners with an opportunity to get a single on the cheap.  I might do something like this in the future, and donate  80% proceeds to charity.

Due to the lack of interest and positive feedback, I have decided to sell my third Single on ebay:

Major ripoff here...You can get a 110 gh/s for 200 BTC 1/5 the amount they are trying to make from this mere 60 gh/s mining unit.

Looking to see who is interested in the follow idea:

Raffle:
Price: 2 BTC a ticket.  
Maximum tickets:  600

Grand Prize: 1 Winner -   BFL 60 ghs Single, which we have in hand, and will be verified or handed over to escrow at the start of the raffle.
Second Prize:  20 Winners - 10 BTC

Chance to win: 1 in 29 (28.75 rounded up)

All tickets/BTC will be handled thru escrow.  
A hash from the block chain will be used to pick the winning numbers, this will also be verified via escrow.

Please respond to this thread if interested.  If we their is enough interest (~25%), we will setup the escrow and begin the raffle.
