there is nothing to sign up for. it's strictly a word of mouth thing and anybody who hears about it can participate without any kind of registration. i don't want to be involved in having to keep track of people and assign tickets, numbers, ID's, or anything of that nature. i don't plan to keep this business in the bitcoin forum. my intention is to make it go viral and it will be impossible to establish contact with every person who want's to participate.
i will not consider paying for shipping. i will pay for shipping. i am aware of the expense. but i am hoping my revenue will far outweigh my expenses. since i will be operating as a registered business i will just write off the shipping as a business expense along with the cost of the item.
I never said anything like that. One has to register/say that they want the gift or how else would you know who to consider.i will not consider paying for shipping. i will pay for shipping. i am aware of the expense. but i am hoping my revenue will far outweigh my expenses. since i will be operating as a registered business i will just write off the shipping as a business expense along with the cost of the item.
I'm trying to tell you that you could use a first come first served basis for the numbers. E.g. if I say first that I want to participate, I get the number 1, the second person gets number 2 and so on.
This should be pretty easy, and the only thing that you have to do it run a random generation. There is no signing up or anything aside from saying that the person wants to participate.
Update:
i don't want to assign numbers. it will be too much time and record keeping to keep track of who is who and who has what number. especially if this catches on and i have thousands of subscribers.
You're asking for the impossible. There is no way that you can properly pick someone without doing some work.
