I think we should just keep running as a Raffle for now for a couple of reasons:
  • The Bits Raffle is working, the Bit Lotto is broken (big reason)
  • I'm not really interesting in debugging this right now (low priority) since the Raffle is working.
  • A Raffle insures a winner each round.
  • We can still debug the Raffle and see how it goes over time.

So, I'll reword it to make it happen.

I actually think a Bits Raffle will be more fun, since we can play the odds against each other versus a random number drawing. Also, added more more raffle for fun.

Edit: Changes made:

Also, if the Bits Raffles proves to be more successful (and I think it will), then I think we will create a full report so members can see the results of all past bits raffles on a report page.

The thing I like about bits raffles is this part:

Odds of winning raffles are based on tickets held compared to total tickets purchased throughout entire community;

Neo, I see you won all 3 recent raffles. Is it working as expected or are you working to distribute the winnings as stated earlier?

EDIT: Moved the drawing dates out a few days, changed to raffles, and then I bought a bunch of raffle tickets to add to the jackpot. If I win, I'll distribute the winning to the folks in this thread who hold tickets and have helped debug the drawing system.

Thanks!

This month is busy for me, especially with holiday travel, events and work projects.

Thank you for your patience on non-critical forum-related tasks.

Neo, I noticed that the Bits Raffle! draw date is getting postponed automatically. It was supposed to happen yesterday (01/01/2013). Is it designed that way to get postpone automatically if the bits in the pot has not reached certain figure?
