Topic: [RAFFLE #2!] MMXIV raffling off TWO Antminer S3 - SOLD OUT IN UNDER 6 DAYS (Read 5907 times)

I was hoping he wouldn't come back so maybe I could win the prize instead!

Hope another raffle comes up again..soon!

I was thinking the same thing. It seems like it was a scam from the get go.

Winner is a brand new account with 1 post
Dev said he would re-do the drawing in 7 days if the winner did not respond.
Nine days later, he has not picked a new winner, and says he'll give the winner until Monday to respond
Winner suddenly responds shortly after, right before Monday ends

Convenient.

Dev likes to boast legitimacy by "randomly" arranging the participants in a spreadsheet and using a random number generator.  However, the number is "seeded" with a pre-selected phrase, so he could have easily known the number days before the drawing, and "randomly" arranged the spreadsheet to ensure his buddy (or himself under a different account) wins the raffle.

Now the dev is banned . . . something smells fishy

Congratulations, we thought you weren't going to claim your prize!

how did i miss that i won?? wow i never win anything. replied to pm will show them off on arrive!! thanks many!!

So did the OP just run off with the coins?

Ok so are you just going to pocket everyone's raffle money then? Why won't you answer my question? When is the redraw?

Hi when's the redraw?

Still no word.  Dang, this guy is missing out. 

I was wondering the same thing...

Has this prize been claimed yet?

Aw what how'd he win! I wanted the S3's

lol

Congrats to the winner, hope you come back to claim your prize 

I was wondering about that since you posted his activity. Well let's hope it doesn't come down to that.

I would like to get the next Maieuticoin raffle going ASAP, and since this is a new account with one post, I'm going to give him a week to respond. If I don't hear back from him by September 10th, I will ask for his address to refund him his entry fee and redraw. I don't want to open another raffle before this one has its order placed

If this was a more active account, I wouldn't use the week time limit, but for some reason I have a feeling he may not come back on and see my message...and I really don't want to have to put the next one on hold while we wait for one guy that may or may not come back on. Looks like he only logged in twice, ever, so here's hoping his main account sees this!

Thanks to everyone who entered. These raffles are going great! We sold this one out in under 6 days! That's awesome!!

Congrats to the winner! 

I'm sure you guys all want to know the winner....So first, let me explain how a winner is picked

1) Go to http://www.random.org/integers/

2) Switch to Advanced Mode

3) Configure to look like this:



4) The randomization string will be MMXIV evolves to Maieuticoin

Produces our random number of....57

5) We then take that number and apply it to the entries spreadsheet located here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1OR8iqI7GsAvNqwLWfbYrlnhm0CaOdm9qlVUvvOChhQ8


Which gives us our winner...


Congratulations to.....CapnHappen

These steps can be verified independently to produce the same result. I see this is an account with only one post asking for an address, so hopefully he is watching this thread. Please PM me your shipping details as soon as possible so I can get your units ordered. I've also sent a PM to try to make sure you know you won

CapnHappen, please respond as soon as possible

Definition  
Maieutics is a pedagogical method based on the idea that truth is latent in the mind of every human being due to innate reason but has to be "given birth" by answering intelligently proposed questions (or problems)

Maieutic Origin
The idea is reminiscent of the 4th century BC philosopher Plato. In the Symposium and Theaetetus dialogues, Plato discusses the Socratic method, a form of inquiry and debate between individuals with opposing viewpoints based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas. It is a dialectical method, often involving an oppositional discussion in which the defense of one point of view is pitted against the defense of another; one interlocutor may lead another to contradict himself in some way, strengthening the inquirer's own point. As to maieutics, it is based on Plato's theory of recollection (anamnesis), so that it holds that knowledge is latent in the conscious mind, awaiting discovery. This discovery is sought through dialectic and in contrast to Plato's theory, through inductive reasoning rather than deductive

In Theaetetus, the basic question is "What is knowledge?". Theaetetus is a young student of mathematics who proposed three definitions that are refuted by Socrates, according to whom, knowledge cannot be defined as a perception, nor as a true opinion, nor as an explanation besides a true opinion. Socrates debates these arguments from a critical point of view by posing more questions, but never poses a conclusion on the matter of knowledge itself

As presented by Plato
In philosophy, maieutic concepts historically have their origin in Plato's dialogues of Socrates

In The Symposium, Socrates repeats the words of the priestess or wise woman Diotima of Mantinea who suggested that the soul is pregnant and wants to give birth, but the delivery requires assistance. Thus according to Plato, the role of the philosopher is to assist in this delivery, as would a midwife. From this dialogue comes the word "maieutics", the "spiritual midwife."

In Theaetetus, Socrates is presented as a "spiritual midwife" and in Meno, by posing questions to a slave who never learned geometry, Socrates leads him to “remember” how a square is doubled

Orphism
Maieutics is an evolution of the technical methods of Orphism. They were based on the idea of reminiscence and the practice of Catharsis especially developed by Pythagoras

Maieutics consists in the belief that there is somehow a knowledge that is stored in the mind by tradition and the experience of past generations. Therefore, maieutics invites the individual to discover the truth that is latent in a person

The OP is the dev of MMXIV and does the raffles as a promo for his coin.

Not worth the hassle but ty.

Would be easier if the op just accepted btc.

Can you pm me the address to enter please?

Just use your BTC to buy some MMXIV on Bittrex - https://bittrex.com/Market/?MarketName=BTC-MMXIV

One MMXIV per entry into the raffle, MMXIV is trading at around 0.015 BTC

N00b question... I would like to 'play' but only have BTC. Is there an easy way to convert to / buy MMXIV?

Thanks for any links / assistance.

Hi please can you PM me with the address of where to pay for tickets?

So I can say that I at least asked, I assume MMXIV is some new coin your trying to promote or something. Anyway, can entrance be bought using BTC and at how much per ticket as of my reply ?

DANG Mortimer452...way to go buying up all the tickets

MMXIV can you please PM me a address to send my coins for tickets? Thanks.

Could I get an entry address please.

Thanks.

Entries are all scrambled up prior to drawing

Here's what the first one looked like when we picked winner: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rnh9O2QVBfCltjhnGRFVoCylyG1kHDLzYxrLaZr81GU

Question... I'd like to buy more but I don't want a block of consecutive ticket numbers. Is there a way to not end up with consecutive ticket numbers?

I'll take a few.  Please PM me an address for the raffle.

Shouldn't be in any rush they won't ship for over 3 weeks anyway.

Price has dropped to 1 MMXIV per ticket. Everyone who purchased any at 2 each will receive additional tickets for free

Just set up a twitter. Follow me 

Market is back open on Bittrex. Their coins had moved to stake. We had to knock them out. Taken care of  

Now is the time to enter. Only .02 BTC worth of MMXIV at current price, but I highly doubt that it will last long that low

Awe that looks nice..I will check it out..I like it! 

I'm not going anywhere so there's no rush from me. Would be nice to get the word out, though. Entry is only .02 BTC of MMXIV at current price

True, but it took three weeks to get 25 people, and now the price is 2x more per ticket.  It's just a suggestion - Twitter is starting to become the main communication method for a lot of new coins, due to the forums being so hard to wade through all the "junk" these days.

We sold out last time just using the forums. We could use some chat box attention though

my turn... 

You should really get this out on Twitter as well - not going to get enough interest I think from just BitcoinTalk alone

Do I have to win this one too   

No problem. Thanks for entering in the first Raffle!

Good luck all, and thank you for the entry
