Site is looking good, really cheap rates.

Hi,

I think the best way of solving this is to rent a VPS (can be quite cheap), SSH to it which uses almost no bandwidth and then remotely run your wallet on that.

Good luck with your 56k BitCoin adventure!

I think, I would be more than happy to post the code on how the winner is selected. And some documentation about the code, however I would be hesitant of releasing all of the code in case somebody created a rip off of the site. But we all trust our local game shows / lotteries in our normal currency, and also draws in our own currency, so why shouldn't it be trusted in a crypto currency. As I previously said I am here purely to provide some fun and a members of the public a chance to win, hence why would I want to cheat the system? The cost of the lottery itself is covered by the 5%, that is good enough for me.

I completed a survey on this site, and requested to withdraw the bitcoins which I earnt from it. But after almost 4 days, still no Bitcoins in my wallet. I am not sure if this pays out, and neither is the guy before me, looks pretty scam like... If you would like to pay us our Bitcoins I will more than happily modify this post after several withdrawals.

Hi Again,

Blocks are all updated now. Get involved still only 3 tickets sold, good odds!

Wow, you guys are getting cheap electricity, in England I am currently playing £0.17 / KwH during the day and £0.095 / KwH during the night. Thats almost $0.30 / KwH USD during the day :-O.

Hi All,

If you have made a deposit today and it hasn't appeared in your account yet please do not panic. Unfortunately the daemon stopped running on the server randomly earlier today, I have restarted it now and I am waiting for the blocks to download (currently 19% and incrementing quickly). Once this has been completed and any deposited funds have been confirmed they will appear in your account. I will post again after this has completed.

 

Hi,

Yes the current odds for winning are 1/3, but, at the same time the prize is 0.27 BTC :-).

But feel free to signup for an account and give it a go!

Hi,

Well it is the first week we have run the lottery, and so far we have sold a grand total of 3 tickets, so although the winnings would be quite small, you'd be in with a good chance so far.

Hi,

This is in no way a ponzi scheme, pyramid scam or scheme.

Why?
Because we are not promising you a return on your investment. We are clear and open that this is a complete gamble. Just like a normal lottery and relies on chance of being the ticket that is drawn. It is like any other raffle or draw, and the prize is the money paid in from all of the players. And there fore this isn't a ponzi or pyramid scheme. If this was a pyramid scheme or a ponzi it would literally say "Invest in our amazing scheme and we will guarantee a payout and you just can't refuse... Buy Buy Buy!!!!". But we are not. It is a clear defined game which involves complete chance and is a complete gamble.

Hi,

These have already been sold. Thanks for your offer though.

Hi Simon,

Once you are logged in go to your account. Deposit some BitCoins using the deposit wallet address. Once these have been transferred and confirmed 6 times they will appear in your account. Then you can purchase a ticket. If you win your winnings will be placed in your account which then need to be withdrawn using the withdraw tool on your account page.

Regards

Hi,

Todays market high is $7.2 USD and we have to take into account PayPal fees and the charge bac risk. Unfortunately I can't go any lower, let me know if you wish to continue. If not I wish you luck in purchasing BitCoins with other traders.

Regards

Alright,

£5.15 is my lowest offer.

Hi

Willing to sell 1 BTC to you via PayPal for £6 (sorry it's so high, PayPal fees are evil, and BTC via PayPal is risky due to charge backs).

Hi

I am selling 3x £10 GBP Amazon vouchers for BTC.

I am looking for either 2.2 BTC for each £10 voucher, or all 3 vouchers for 5.5 BTC.

Please reply with your offers.

Rob

Wohooo. The first BitLottery ticket has just been sold, bringing our jackpot this week so far to 0.09 BTC. Ok not a big one, but if we sell a few more tickets the odds will be pretty good and you could win some BTC.

Hi,

Welcome! The best place I have found to learn about BitCoin is the Wiki at http://www.bitcoin.org. It is worth taking time to read and decide what you would like to acheive with BitCoin. The forum members here are also extremly helpful especially the mining section of the forum if you where planning on that sort of thing.

Well maybe if we publically display the database IDs of each of the tickets purchased. We then place all of these into a big box and pick one out at random live on webcam? This would help the randomness and also add a different interactive sort of scope to the lottery. But on the whole basically it is a trust thing, and I'd like to think there is still a little trust in the world. I am not here to rip people off or to take the piss. I just want to learn a little and make a little and create an enjoyable BitCoin Lottery. It is like anything with BitCoin, if you buy a cardigan on BitCoinClothes.com how can you be sure you'll ever receive it? You have to have some trust and accept not everyone in the world is out to get you. It is the same with BitCoin mining, how do you know the pool owner won't run away with all the coins? I don't know enough to be able to replicate what is on BitLotto, but the joy of BitLottery is you can pay out to an alternative wallet, great if you use an online wallet, it is small and friendly, and the people behind it and hopefully the players too all have good intentions.

This has been toying on my mind alot. At work I am running 2 racks of servers for BitCoin mining and I am currently donating to Cancer Research UK via Cheque. However I can understand a UK charity is not the best for a global audience. One possibility is that the winner chooses the charity on a weekly basis. Or the charity is rotated every 6 months to one that users vote for. What do you guys think?
