Hi,
You guys must be aware of the popular cloudmining website Hasnet.com
Yes you are, most of you, definitely! Here's the thing: they have lucky hash where you get to buy tickets(max 100 per round per user) priced at 0.001BTC each. At the end of the round a lucky draw is carried out and winner takes all i.e ~3BTC worth Antminer s7.
I'm interested in making a similar website where you get 2.9 BTC and we keep the 0.1BTC for running the website, etc.
How's the idea? i know it's stolen but will it work? Anyone thinks it's cool? If a site like that is up and running we could even use Blockchain based gaming interface or session based game integration like just-dice or satoshidice. What say folks?
P. S.- I'm not a programmer.
You're retarded!

Why the idea may be hard to implement for someone that does not program, name calling is not really going to get you or the poster anywhere.
Thanks!!

This may be done with a pre-made script that you did not program, not sure if there is one out there.  Even if you were to get hosting, buy or download and script and manage to get it running on your server, without programming knowledge you are in danger that something could break and then your clients are up the creek until you get someone to fix it.  These things happen and can be really easy to fix if you know what you are doing and looking for.  We recently had a site go down after the server rebooted.  It was as simple as a service that was not set to run on boot and we fixed it in less than two minute.  Thing is that required logging into the VPS through SSH, reading through the Apache logs, starting the service and then set the service to start on boot.  If any of those things sound confusing, then you may want to partner with someone that has the knowledge.  I did not make them sound hard on purpose, lol.  And none of that is anywhere near what I consider coding or programming, that is just everyday stuff to running a server and website.
