I really liked the raffle done by @rxalts here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/free-raffle-2019-silver-bitcoin-penny-14-oz-two-months-until-halving-5234181 and I would like to do something similar.
So, what I am going to do is raffle off one Antminer T17 40 TH/s unit - full specs @
https://support.bitmain.com/hc/en-us/articles/360020445993-T17-SpecificationsI originally tried this with 100 slots but after almost 3 weeks we were only at 47% of the slots sold. So, I am going to cut the number of slots in half - tickets will be double the price but each slot will have two chances of winning.
People can buy as many slots as they so desire to increase their odds. This is a great way to take a small risk to get a chance of getting a decent piece of hardware at a minimal price.
This will include free shipping in the USA and international shipping will have to be case by case - I will cover the first $100 of the shipping cost if international.
First slot is $20 second and third slot are $18 ea while any further slots are $16 ea - so 5 slots would net you 10 numbers to win and cost you 20+18+18+16+16 = $88
There is no limit to how many slots one may select.
For payment - @philipma1957 will provide escrow - he will provide an address when we start collecting payments which will commence once 90% of the slots have been taken. So, for now, just select your slot - we will let everyone know when payments are needed.
To select the winner, we will start with the first block after all spots have been taken but also starting with the block 626500, if all slots are not taken we will go with increments of 100 until all slots are taken:
# 626600
# 626700
# 626800
# 626900
# 627000
etc, etc - we will use the hash of the block to determine the winner - for example block 622835 had the following hash: 0000000000000000000ed0ff8dded432ead90f812ad07e2d5944b6d5e7540c
42So, in that case #42 would be the winner. If the block ends in an alpha character, we will go with the next sequential block(s) until we have one that ends with 2 numbers.
I will use list below to keep track of numbers as they are selected - so please use that list but also please review newer posts to see any possible numbers that have not been added to the list yet. If there are any numbers taken more than once, the first one to post the selected number will receive that spot and the others will be contacted via pm to pick new numbers.
