Topic: Raffle for one (1) Antminer T17 40 TH/s Free USA Shipping (Read 724 times)

I am going to make a change to try and quicken this up. I was sure we would get more takers for a chance at getting a T17 for $10 shipped, however it has been almost 3 weeks and we are only half way. I will close the thread for now, make some changes and repost the new one soon.


I will give choice of slots to those who already selected in the order they selected originally via PM, seems the best way to be fair. Depending on how long it takes everyone to reply, that might take a few days. Please be patient So, the new thread will be locked until then as well.

So, for those of you that participated, please keep an eye out for your pm.

I may do something like this very soon - either both or do it where 1 slot is $20 but you get two numbers - then only need to sell 50 slots vs 100.

will make the decision this saturday. whatever i do, the slots will be available to those that bought already in the order they bought.

Maybe this is an idea?  how about make the raffle for both t-17's and just double the ticket prices?

instead of this?
First slot is $10 second and third slot are $9 ea while any further slots are $8 ea - so 5 tickets would be 10+9+9+8+8 = $44

make it this?
First slot is $20 second and third slot are $18 ea while any further slots are $16 ea - so 5 tickets would be 20+18+18+16+16 = $88

i will happily double my payment that i have right now for a shot at both of them?

then $20 for one slot and someone lucks out and wins both 🤞🤞🤞

Sounds like win win for all.  and some people will gladly pay .003BTC for a shot at that lotto?

just a though 🤷‍♂️

bump!

if you have friends that are more active in other parts of the forums but not here, let them know! let's get someone a T17 this week!

Almost Half way.
Great deal guys and fun too.
Let get these spots filled!

adding a few more? awesome!

Put me for #66 #67 #68 #72 #73

gotcha! and thanks for joining!

I'd like 63 and 69.

Thank you.

bump - come on guys! we are half way almost - We will not collect funds until 90% have been sold and once all are collected so no loss! but this is your best chance to get a T17 for as little as $10 shipped! So, join the folks who have already chosen their slots and pick your own!

will do! i will pick randomly

You know what? I like to live dangerously. Put me down for 2 more spots (7 total, or $60).

38* second thread post has numbers by user.

I think we have 37 spoken for.

gotcha! and thank you!

I will take as well:
14, 17, 18, 22, 23, 27, 28, 29.
Thanks,

bump.

Gotcha and thank you for joining!

I'll ONE take slot! Be still my heart! What a gambler I am!

5

For a total of $10 bucks whenever the address becomes available from Philipma1957.

Truly the only way one should buy ASIC's anymore, by raffle, as the gamble they are these days!

Thanks.

done! and thank you for joining! we are now at 29% sold'

I spread you out across the board and yes, one is #19

I'll take 5 spots. I don't care which ones, can be random, as long as one is 19.

Thanks!

indeed! so going to join in?

got it, thanks!
This is indeed a brilliant way to do it!

what Phil said - the goal is to sell 100% but to collect at 90% - that way we are not taking people's bitcoin for an extended time. Now, once we start collecting - if it comes to where Phil has collected all that is sold - I will end it there.

So, this could go for as low as 90% of the slots and as high as 100% of the slots.

we are at 24% now as Phil stated. and that is in 2 days - so hopefully, this sells out in a week. I am hoping that people will see this as an opportunity to get a T17 for as little as $10 to $44 (if they buy 5)  if they buy more, better the odds for them.

at the end of the day, when this is done, one slot will win and someone will essentially get it for the cost of that $10 slot.

No he is selling 100%

I don't want to collect escrow until it reaches 90%.

If it reaches 90% one way or the other  the last 10% will be sold.
Even if I have to buy them myself.
I really don't want to do that.

But what I also don't want to do is collect from as many as 80 people and have to do refunds for all of them. Because the tickets did not sell.


24 slots are taken by 4 people  which would mean a reasonable amount of work for me if people keep buying 2 or more tickets

You're selling 90%, what if it hits that 10%?

done!

put me for

98
99

also 

thank you for joining! adding you now - payments will be addressed once we get 90% of slots sold

I will take #88 through #97.
LMK where te send the BTC

Okay, one more question.
If I buy 2 slots today, and decide to buy 5 more tomorrow, does that "discount"(10-9-9-8-8-7-7...) still count?

1. the address for payment will be p̷̛̹̩͚͓̦̎̊̇̆̄͝r̸͙͎̻͉̯͋̉̂̾̏̏̽o̷͎͙̰͕͂̀̅̇͆͋͊͟v͍̤̘̪̭̾̉́͐̓̈͠ĭ͎̟͖͚̉̋͌̒̇͘ͅd̢̨͉͉͎͐͆̈́̎̀̂̄è͇̮̰͍̼͛̈́̍͆̋͂ḓ̰̭̩̼̂̄̒͛̽͊͘ by philipma1957 soon. But we will not b̡͈̣̹͘e̷̠̦̳̥͘ collecting funds until at least 90% of the s̡͚̥̮̝̺̤̱̀l̢̺̰̻̳̰̭̆ͅọ̯͉̮̯̺̤͆ͅţ͖̜̬̤͈̤̇͜s͇̟͈̯̻͖̦̩͒ have been selected.
2. you choose the number now - pay when philipma1957 p̛̠̜͍̲̱͂͂̀̍͒̋̾͜ȓ̦̞̰̯̙͓̿̇̒̓̒͌͡ö̼̰̭̜̟̱̓̾̀̈́͒̋̍v̯̫̻͔̜̻̉͑̑͆̔̍̋̚i̧͇̬̭̲͕͗̎̒̑͛̉̎͡ḑ̝͔͓̰̦̀̑̐̑͆̂͠͝e̖̤̬̱̥̋̈́͛̽́̈́̇͠ͅs̞͕͕̯̝̲͂̅̈͊͂̂̃́ the address. I will also send a pm to all those who have selected a slot once philipma1957 h̍̊̃͐͗̈́̽͆̈́a͒̆̾̀͑̔̄͆̌ś̋͆̑͊̾̑͘͝ done so.
3. yes 1 ticket = one slot - I will clean up my op to just read as slot to a̮̗͔̼͙̻̿͊v̶̨̥̰̥͔̖́̅ò̮͖̪͚͚̘͘i͔̼̺̩̩̤̽͡d̛̦͉̠̯̺̮͆ this confusion.
4. n̘̻̬̝͟ǫ̧͖͕̭ limit.

So, how does it work exactly?
1. Where can we find the address?
2. Do we choose numbers and they pay or pay and then choose numbers?
3. If you say there is multiple slots, does that mean 1 ticket = 1 slot?
4. Is there a limit how many slots can one person take?

reserved for payment address and updates.

To select the winner, we will start with the first block after all spots have been taken but also starting with the block 623500, if all slots are n̵̈́͛̾̐̊͐͂̔̽͑̊o̶̓͆̔̆̾̐̏͛̑̓͡t̛͐̀̀̉̀̈͆̒̒͝ taken we will go with i̧͕̟̅͐n̟̪̯̄͆c͚̪͓͒̉r̶̠̜̥̄́e̫̱̯̍̏m̝̘͕͌͝e̷̞̪͕͂̇ň̷̟̺̞̓t̷̖̠̹̍̌s̨̢̛̬̎ of 100 until all slots are taken:

etc, etc - ẇ̭͉͍͎͒̅͆͝͝e̶̡̙͈̯̓̾͑͛̎͠ will use the h̻̲̙̹̣͉́͋̌͜a̢̨̘͉͈͊̾́͜͜s̗͔̲̜̜͚͉̎̓̒h̺̯̲͎̻͋̾͘͜͟ of the block to determine the winner - for example block 622835 had the following hash: 0000000000000000000ed0ff8dded432ead90f812ad07e2d5944b6d5e7540c42

So, i̶͙͎̫͕̳͙̪̞̭͆͂͊̍̚͟ñ̢̧̲͙̣̺͉̰͕̀͠͝͠ͅ that case #42 would be the winner. If the block ends in an alpha character, w̷̲̯͚̩͜e̴̜͔̦̼̳ will go with the next sequential block(s) u̡̻͍̍͊͛̈n̦̼̪̆̌́̌t͍̲͇̓̐̑͌i̶̢̧̭̿̍͗͒l̢͈̟͐͌̓̅ we have one that ends with 2 numbers.
