A note on the DigiByte Lottery being put on by zaloultra:

We as the development time are not putting this lottery on, organizing it or storing the coins. We simply agreed to pick a random winner by using http://www.miniwebtool.com/random-picker/ and posting a screen shot.

We understand there has been some disagreement but we see no reason to try and stop zaloultra from promoting the coin in this way as long as he is honest, treats others with respect, refrains from insulting others in a derogatory manner and follows through with his promises. Many people have already bought tickets and the account address currently shows a balance of: 98,295.273746 DGB ( DEB9iMJzdkFa8FWsRVabzUzuJLfaEVk746 )

Once again, we do not control the coin wallet where the coins are being held and we are not officially putting this lottery on. We simply agreed to pick the winner as stated before.

Proceed at your own risk.

Couldn't agree more. Thank you

The "disagreement" was that some people started hassling the lottery for no real apparent reason. Then the people behind some dicegame started flaring up and things got a bit nasty. I have a feeling they don't like the competition, as they feel the lottery takes away some digi's that could otherwise have been spent on their dicegame. There seem to be a group of several people in on that racket.

Just to have this clarified: I am neither owning nor have I ever played any dice game. I do not even like it at all. We just gave you some lessons on how to calculate an expected value of a random event.

I think for all parties, it is better to stop this now. However, if I see any untrue or offending statement, I will keep posting my and others calculations over and over again. Wink
