Tiger Palace Primary
25¢ x 1 Rack
$25 x 4 barrels
This is not a dibs. I will take names of those interested in buying. Buyers will be chosen randomly.
tl:dr speed instructions:
Bottom line: This is a random draw to see who has a chance to buy the chips. Winners will be determined late Monday morning.- Reply in this thread if you are interested in buying the cents rack or the dollars barrels with either "in cents" or "in dollars" or "in both"
- I will randomly draw to narrow it down to a "finals" list of 16 people for each denomination.
- One from each "finals" list will be chosen randomly.
- Those winners will be PMed on how to pay.
- ...
- What are you waiting for!??! Reply with: IN (something)
Full instructions:
The rack of 25¢ and the 4 barrels of $25 will have separate semi-finals and finals lists.The chips will be sold at the original KK405 prices.
The entire 25¢ rack will be sold to one person chosen randomly.
The price of the rack is $700
All 4 barrels of $25 will be sold to one person chosen randomly.
The price of 4 barrels is $480
State your interest to buy the rack or the barrels by replying in this thread with the following:
"In cents" if you want to buy the 25¢ rack.
"In dollars" if you want to buy the 4 barrels of $25
"In both" if you want to buy both the rack and the 4 barrels.
How people will be chosen (optional info):
Everyone who is in will be added to the "semi-finals" list.Then I will randomly select 16 people from all eligible entries to create a 16 person "finals" list.
Then, one winning person from each 16 person "finals" list will be chosen randomly. After the person is chosen, I will PM them with payment info and ask for their shipping address.
Deadline to get in is: Sunday Jan 29 2023 at 9PM central time.
The "finals" list will be posted later that night.
The names to make up the 16 person "finals" list will be chosen by using https://www.random.org/lists/
The 1 winner of each "finals" list will be chosen Monday, late morning.
The single winner will be chosen by looking at the last digit of the hash of Ethereum blocks.
In this example, the winner would be number 5.
For the 25¢ rack, block number 16520000
For the 4 barrels of $25, block number 16520100
If a winner can not be determined by the last digit of the hash, then the second-to-last digit will be used, then the third-to-last digit, etc. until a winner is found.
Using this method, I have no way to influence the outcome and there is no way to pre-determine a winner. Also, winning numbers can be verified after the drawing by clicking the block links above and expanding "click to see more" then looking at the Hash.
Shipping in the USA with no insurance will be $11 (insurance is recommended, but optional).
Shipping insurance and international shipping, extra.
Payments accepted: PayPal FF, or PayPal GS (if you pay the fees), or Zelle, or
All chips come in Paulson Chip boxes.
Reply in our PM if you want insurance or/and shipping internationally.
For the love of the chipping Gods, @ people who want these things. Especially people who have wanted ads.
Please feel free to ask questions in the thread as well. This is the most convoluted way to pick a winner I've ever seen on PCF. So, no question will be considered a "dumb question."
FAQs
WTF is this sh!t? Why not just have a poker showdown like everyone else?I love a good poker showdown as much as anyone. However, the method I'm using is determined randomly buy computers, not by a human shuffling cards. The method to determine the winner from the "finals" list (using the block hash), is completely random and there's no way I could fudge it at all. It's also able to be verified after the fact by anyone.
Why does the Finals list have 16 entries and why does it start with "0" and go past 9 to "f"?
Block hashes use hexadecimal numbers. Meaning that each single digit goes up to 15. Like this...
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ,6, 7, 8, 9, a (10), b (11), c (12), d (13), e (14), f (15)
And if you start with 0, that's 16 different numbers using a single digit.
