Plain and simple, nobody trusts a website that is asking for 2.5 BTC that is... well, hosted on a freesite.

And your member rank has nothing to do with us not trusting you. It's because you haven't done anything to establish our trust. There are many many many accounts here that are well below Hero Member that have earned the community's trust. You, simply haven't.

Just close this thread and move on, and trust me, it will save you a bunch of headaches from others.

The first thing you need to do when running a lottery is to have a solid plan that makes sense for potential ticket buyers. This means that your house edge shouldn't be more than 5-8%. You need to make it a fair lottery in the sense that every user has the same chance to win based on their investment into the lottery. Then, you *should* put the winnings into a trusted escrow before you offer your lottery publicly.

And finally, the biggest duty is to gain trust with other users. And you can't do that by simply stating "It's not a Ponzi, it's not a scam."

Because an honest individual does not have to point out that whatever they are doing is not a scam or a ponzi. It's like the instinct to not want to trust people that always say "trust me".

If you are absolutely serious about wanting to run this type of lottery, you should really look into using a trusted member of the forum as an escrow service. Otherwise, you're not going to get anyone to buy your tickets.

I can't see it, and I never met person who said as you. It was the orst answer today...

You reached the hero member rank because of answering the other members questions, and helping other members. So, the other lower rank members helped you reach this hero rank. So don't underestimate others. p.s.

I actually didn't see that one aswell.
Good thing trust is hidden on some boards.
The fun part is, that ratings could be removed in the matter of some minutes.
They'd only have to delete their ponzi support posts and PM whywefight/cryptodevil about it.
Easy as that.

0.05 per ticket * 250 tickets = 12.5 BTC.
Per round you pay out 5 winners a 2BTC, while you yourself keep 2.5BTC.
That's an amazing house edge of 20%.

That is ofc if you don't run with the funds.

I noticed your sig. When you get big, are you goin' get an electric guitar? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYak0rPUDIU&feature=youtu.be&t=4

Okay then, you have no ponzi. Your site is not a ponzi, its an obvious SCAM attempt

The fact that you run a website on a free hosting site made you untrustworthy , the contents made it worse

Strange to see a ponzi owner participating on a cheap and most like a fake giveaway What happened to your own ponzi https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1380214.0 , did it also collapsed or you just failed to lure stupid people?
