I locked this thread this morning due to not being able to follow through on this raffle mainly due to the forum being down.

But, I have good news, albeit not so for four people (really, probably only two). I have declared a winner sans any drawing. That person is grantbdev.

grantbdev PM'ed be asking if the drawing took place, for he wasn't around till the end of the conference. Guess why? He was the one that had the seizure, thus missing the bulk of it. Like I just wrote to him, since BitcoinTalk was down and I couldn't conduct the raffle as I planned, in my mind I was thinking about reimbursing the guy's admittance cost that had the seizure if I was only able to find out for sure who he was, never in my wildest dreams it was one of the five in Post #2 of this thread.

I'm pretty sure that none of the other people on the list will be upset with this gesture. I've already asked grantbdev for a Bitcoin address so that I can remit his winnings.

I do request something though just to make doubly sure that it was grantbdev that went down at the conference. Can anybody here vouch for grantbdev one way or another so that I can relieve all doubt from my mind that it was truly him that had the seizure? I'm not looking for any definitive proof, for any member's word posted in this thread should suffice.

I highly doubt that grantbdev is pulling some scam, for in no way was he asking for any bitcoins. It was I that declared him the winner due to him having to leave early from the conference. I'm not sure, but I believe there was some hot nurse he wanted to see oppose to seeing Tony's Simpson cartoon and listening to Charlies' stupid jokes. Grin

Again, if anybody can vouch that it truly was grantbdev that had the seizure, please state such in this thread for all to see, for I'm ready to refund his $180 USD via BTC.

It would not feel right for me to personally accept this:
a) As a student, I paid $99 in BTC for my ticket.
b) The conference already gave me a refund and a free video pass.

Give the BTC to Sean's Outpost instead.
