Hello /biz/, I posted a day ago about organising a small bitcoin lottery game on this board. It seemed that general consensus was that people would participate if I streamed the process for transparency.
For those who didn’t catch the thread yesterday, here’s how it works:
Each player can buy one or more ‘tickets’ by sending the equivalent of $1 USD in bitcoin, (0.0004 BTC at the time of this post) to the following address:
1M4RUmbiSgnZBFSiXRpq6WQNNMKhB5beuj
You can buy as many tickets as you like to increase your chance of winning. Ticket sales will close and I’ll start streaming after enough tickets have been received. The winner of the lottery will be randomly selected from the tickets and will be sent a prize of 90% of the total funds raised by the ticket purchases.
I don’t have much coding knowledge so I’d like to just start out doing this manually. I’ll display the tickets on a spreadsheet with rows numbered 1 to n, where n=total number of tickets. Each row will contain the bitcoin address its funds were sent from. Using https://www.randomizer.org/, I’ll generate a random number between 1 and n, the resulting number being the ticket number of the prize winner. I’ll then calculate and send 90% of the total raised funds to the winner. This will all be streamed live so you can make sure I’m not shortchanging the winner/meddling with the selection process. When I’m ready I’ll post a link to the stream.
Let’s begin.

The good thing about this being contained in a single thread is that less people will play, so you'll have a higher chance of winning. This isn't a scam because 1) I am genuinely interested in running this for fun, and 2) It's not like this will generate a huge amount of money anyway, why would I bother stealing $30

Are you actually fucking retarded OP?
Do you seriously expect people to send some random jerk off their money?

>>2823639
It's not much of a risk to send one dollar, so yeah, I thought people might give it a go.

>>2823682
This isn't a scam.

>>2823698
then why don't you make the lottery free? if you only doing it for fun.

>this isn't a scam
>100% of proceeds
>90% payed out
>10% for what?
and that's assuming you don't just run away with the pseudo-anonymous coins you collected on a pseudo-anonymous imageboard.
