IMO 2 things jump out at me when I read your pitch:

1) Incomplete info on how a winner is selected: you will need to provide a full, detailed explanation of how you calculate a winner for this to be taken seriously.

2) Hefty rake: 50x .5 btc raffle tickets = 25 btc = ~ $300 and you ship a $150 BFL Jalapeno that may or may not be delivered? Also what if BFL does not deliver by January? Feb? March? April?

1) I'll start writing up a better explanation to be added.

2) There is a little bit of margin there but that is a) to also cover international shipping if required b) covering my ass if there is a dip in the price of BTC.

There is no pre order. If you win either I will put in the order with your name / shipping details, or I can organize it so the winner fills in the order form, select pay via bitpay and then once they get the payment address I will pay it instantly on their behalf.

In the end its a simple raffle, you either want a ticket or you don't. No hard feelings if you wish to skip on it. I've enjoyed learning how bitcoin works, now I'm here to get a feel with the general tone of the bitcoin community. So far it seems to be a lot of paranoid people, but I guess I can't blame you all for that as from what I've read there have been some pretty big scams come through here before.

The profit I would make from this raffle is probably less than what I paid daniel to help create the script, plus i put my time into the design etc. So as I said, I really don't see this as a way to get rich. Plus it's not worth the time and effort I've put into it to rip people off and not be able to do a second , third or fourth raffle.
