Trezor Giveaway update.What is a Trezor?
https://www.bitcointrezor.com/This is what we have come up with after taking many suggestions. This is just a starting base.
1: 100 TX (Little Over $1 USD, at current price) per lottery ticket. The Transfercoin for the giveaway will go to one address and will be tracked. Once the giveaway is over I hope that we have a decision, as a community, on how to allocate those funds. The proposed Development Fund and Transfer Organization have been proposed. <<<--- This is a little vague, because we need to sit down and make a good plan and have people take on responsibilities.
2. A randomizer script will be created to pick the winner. This script will be made available to the community for testing and verification that it is working correctly, before we use it.
3. Who is writing the script?
MarioCorleone from our IRC channel, I don't recall his BCT handle. (I will update this post when I have it) He has been in open source for 19 years and is very good. He wants to make sure it is fair and tested by the community. We have a lot of developers in this project so verification of the script being fair and honest, should be no problem.
a: Does this affect the timeline? No. A stated we have some great devs and we will get a script written or find another method. As presented in
2:. It will still be fair and judged and tested by the community.
4: I will be buying the Trezor and paying for shipping from my personal funds, i will not be selling Transfercoins I own for this. Currently I believe a Trezor can be shipped to just about anywhere in the globe, if I find this is not the case i will update.
a: This post seems to clear up the shipping issue. (

5: All of this is subject to change due to feedback from the community and details that have not been worked out yet. If I missed something important let me know.
I think we have a great base to work from. I am going to as Infernoman to put a poll up as for the length of the time we will accept lottery tickets. below are my suggestions. I think the below is a good amount of time to get the most people involved and get there tickets in.
2 Weeks
3 Weeks
1 Month

Updating 3: MarioCorleone will not be able to do the randomizing script. Life issue came up, and that is all I am willing to say. I am vague because it is personal and not my issue to share.

Update 2/4/2016 Infernoman found a script that we believe will work perfectly for this and as long as people agree, we can get started almost immediately. We will randomize the addresses from the script to pick the winner.
Here is the Source: https://github.com/coolaj86/knuth-shuffleScript in Action: http://bost.ocks.org/mike/shuffle/
Price per ticket will be 100 TX which is 0.002364
BTC. Currently 0.002364
BTC is worth 0.91017614
BTC There will be 1 Transfercoin Address Provided, that everyone entering will send to.
Each person entering will need to send entries from the same Transfercoin Address. This will make it easier for us to track tickets purchased.
Below is the Google Form we will use. Infernoman and myself will have edit access to track entries.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1T-WajAh-QkTxhaEyap6Qypt-wTtfmTCyRq2ZO8fgNag/edit?ts=56b398f3#gid=0As noted above the Giveaway will last for 1 Month.
Example: If we start February 8th we'll end March 8th.
Please let us know how your thoughts, as I know everyone would like to get this started.
Hopefully this will help out some of the newer users. In october I also had no clue how to setup multiple masternodes. and some of the other guides. are confusing at best lol.
