[url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?action=profile;u=14448]netnerd[/url] can vouch for this item being a genuine coin and as the certificate in the photo shows, it is coin 10 from his run of just 24 coins. I have left the protective cover on the prize coin just to give it a little extra protection during shipping. I will personally cover the cost of postage for this item to anywhere in the world! so don't feel that just because you're in the UK you can't take part! Massive Thank You to netnerd, who has pre-loaded the coin with 55FTC for the lucky winner!

Quite simply what it says, I'll point one of my mining rigs against the pool of your choice (but for obvious reasons we would prefer it to go against the pay back pool to raise that little bit extra for the charity) for 5 days, I'm saying approx. 1.4Mh/s it's been doing over that for a steady 3 weeks now without any sign of failing, and if I get round to sorting my additional card before mining commences you can have its output as well :)
*** UPDATED *** My additional card for this rig has now come in, so you should be getting around 2.25Mh/s for your 5 days if you win!

5th Prize

Additional Prizes

I'm working on some of my suppliers to get suitable donations to hopefully add further prizes over the next couple of weeks, but as this is a global raffle and prizes need to be delivered to people this is proving a little more tricky than normal, so please just keep checking back here to see what else has been added to the list.

Likewise if you have something you would like to donate to this cause then please drop me a PM with details and we will have a chat about it.

How to get tickets!

To make things as simple and as transparent as possible from an admin point of view, I think the easiest way is to issue everyone who wants to buy tickets with a unique wallet address to send payments too, you make your payment based on 1FTC per ticket and then I will issue you with your ticket numbers.

So drop me a PM asking for a wallet address to send your lucky feathers too, if you could include in the PM weather or not you would like to remain anonymous that would be good as I will be publishing on the forum a link to the ticket sales to provide some transparency in the whole process.

Please remember I also have a day job so please be patient in waiting for your addresses to be issued, don't worry there's plenty of time between now and the draw for you to buy tickets.

The Draw

The draw it's self is now confirmed to take place on the 22nd of February live at the Oxford Blue in the UK. I'm hoping to broadcast a live web-stream at around 20:00 UK time so you can tune in and watch what's going on.

How Else Can I help?

Anyone who mines can help the cause by sending a few hashes over to the [url=http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php/topic,7048.0.html] The Community Payback Pool[/url]
And remember for now all 1.5% of the Pool Fee is donated to the charity as out supplier has agreed to waiver the hosting fees until further notice!

A personal note from me:-

Give the recent un-fortunate turn of events. I understand that some members may treat anything like this with a certain amount of scepticism, and to be honest so would I.

The idea was discussed with Ruthie and ChrisJ and a number of other people in person at the January meetup in Oxford. The charity as said in another post is something close to my own heart, my mother and a couple of close friends have had brushes with cancer at varying levels over the last few years and now it's time to help give something back.

The benefits to us as a community are only limited by our own imaginations! I will be asking ChrisJ to assist with a couple of press releases for when we make the final donation towards the end of April. I will also be speaking to Kevlar and asking him to put funds into cold storage as I go along.

UM

You as a community have helped us raise!
