I'll keep it running nonetheless, though (I mean, it doesn't cost me anything, right?), and at least it gave me a reason to play some more with JSON requests!

Thanks for the feedback Trololo. I was worried that that was going to be the case... my problem is I always end up 'over-engineering' my systems, instead of launching them

Unfortunately, games like this aren't popular here anymore... That was a completely different ball game month ago...

Hi all... I'm launching a new 'raffle style' game if anyone is interested.
I tried to make the whole process as simple as possible: it does not require visiting a website, creating an account or sending coins to a 'unique to you' address. It does not rely on the results of any external lotteries or anything, and it is designed as a 'consistent payout rate'. That is to say, it pays out as soon as a certain amount has gone into the pot: it does not wait until the end of the week or anything. Finally, because all payins are to a fixed address, and all payouts are from that same address, in theory anyone can 'audit' the address and ensure the payouts are happening.
Like I say, it's a 'mini raffle': low buy in with a relatively small pot (and only taking a rake equivalent to one single buy in)... hopefully this appeals to the forum newbies
So with all that, let me introduce my first 'raffle': this is a really small one, to get your feet wet. It costs 0.1BC per ticket, and pays 1BC after receiving 1.1BC (so basically, 11 tickets are sold and 10/11 of the money is returned to the winner). If you're interested in playing, send 0.1BC (or some multiple) to 16292T2bjSjAr88K1Ricyny6cdq1MfjbmD .
While it is still beta, I have ironed out all of the bugs that I know of. One thing that I haven't tested yet is what happens when the payment is sent as a batch of payments to multiple recipients. So I would recommend against that.
If I see any problems, I'll post them here. Other than that, let me know if there are any questions.
Thanks, and good luck!
