🎰 The first BiTCoin Trustable Tombola (BTCTT) !
It is not a joke, even if the first day is wisely chosen 🤓. It is adding some spice to this trust challenge.
This is the first Online DEX Tombola when YOU can check all the process, yes, really 🧐 !
Welcome on board, i hope you will like your trip.

💬 Simple rules :
- 1 winner for all the amount minus all fees
- Each ticket price : 0.001 BTC
- Buy as many tickets as you want BEFORE the limit time 2025-04-15 12:00pm UTC (midDAY!)
- Tombola Fees are 1% of all tickets amount
- Wallet of the first tombola : 196NBDiR6yxHt4FcZrvTKkWqB4fmkuz7nU
- Each ticket you buy give you 1 chance to win all the amount minus the fees
- The winner will be the one chosen by the next BTC block found after this end date 2025-04-15 12:00am UTC AND have a number of block with two ending zero
- The Nonce of the block will be use in a decimal format modulo the number of valid tickets to get the winning ticket number
- The 1% fee will be charged first (outbound transaction)
- The next Tombola Wallet will be open with a transaction of 1 satoshi to it (outbound transaction)
- The winner will have the rest of the amount (outbound transaction)
- This wallet will never be used anymore, if someone send any BTC on it, it will be loose (no ticket bought) and forward to current tombola wallet
- All consecutive ticket number are given from the first transaction of the buying wallet address (even if there is multiple amount sent by the same buyer address later)

👁️‍🗨️ Example :
the tombola current wallet address is 196NBDiR6y...kuz7nU
there is 1 satoshi on it first (sent from the previous tombola), it "open" this wallet for the tombola
From address 0111...111 Bob send 0.003 BTC on it, it means he buy 3 tickets, he own 3 tickets now
From address 0234...567 Alice send 0.000999BTC on it, it means she have loose her amount (because it's not enough for one ticket cost : 0.001 BTC)
From address 0558...955 Karl send 0.001 BTC on it, it means he buy 1 ticket, he own 1 ticket now
From address 0234...567 Alice didn't want to loose her 0.000999BTC ever sent, so she send 0.001001 BTC it means she buy 2 tickets now (0.000999 + 0.001001 = 0.002 BTC). She could send only 0.000001 BTC to own only one ticket, but she wanted to optimize the new transaction fees with more amount. She own 2 tickets now
From address 0558...955 Karl send 0.0015 BTC on it, it means he buy 1 ticket (because it's not enough to buy 2 tickets), finally he own 2 ticket now
From address 0789...012 Karl send 0.0005 BTC on it, but he didn't use the same address to send BTC so it is a different "user" (and it is not enough for 1 ticket), finally he still own 2 tickets
End date is closing the participation, any amount received to the tombola wallet after this date and time will be loose (no new ticket given after this time limit).
From address 0666...666 Junior send 0.001 BTC on it, it means he loose his BTC forever, too late Junior :-/
Summarize ✍️ :
From address 0111...111 0.003 BTC : ticket n. 0 / 1 / 2
From address 0234...567 0.000999 BTC + 0.001001 BTC : ticket n. 3 / 4
From address 0558...955 0.001 BTC + 0.0015 BTC : ticket n. 5 / 6
From address 0789...012 0.0005 BTC : no ticket
From address 0666...666 0.001 BTC : no ticket
Total Amount in this wallet : 0.003 + 0.000999 + 0.001001 + 0.001 + 0.0015 + 0.0005 + 0.001 = 0.009 BTC
Fees : 0.00009 BTC
Block n. 878100 is the next block after the end date midnight (warning : it is not the block just after this end date, but the block ending with number "00").
This Block have this Nonce : 0xc67a2201 (hexa) => 3 329 892 865 (decimal). You can check it on https://www.blockexplorer.com/ or https://mempool.space/
The tombola have 7 tickets (from 0 to 6).
choose the winner : 3329892865 modulo 7 = 5
It means ticket 5 is the golden ticket, Karl wins 👏👌🍾 !
So there will be 3 transactions out :
Transaction fees 0.00009 BTC => 0x...
New wallet for next tombola 0.00000001 BTC => 0x...
The rest of the amount for the winner 0.00890999 BTC (theoretically, because this is not including the BTC transaction fees) => 0x...

📣 FAQ :
- I've sent 0.001 by mistake can you sent it back to me to another address please ?
No. When you buy a lotto ticket you don't ask for a refund just after. There is no support like this, i want to stay completely anonymous, independent, because i want this to keep out of any pressure, and still free for everyone. Anyone can try to win, with a public checking of the rules, and the way i apply and follow them. So double check the amount you send and the wallet address you send it !
- Who are you ?
I can ask you the same ! I'm not a bad person. Like many people here, i think anonymity is the best to avoid any pressure by anyone. Like Satoshi Nakamoto, i think it is like magic when we can be free to trust, share, and use something freely, it should be a basic human right.
- I don't trust you !
For sure, there is a trust issue there on one point only : i have to send the winner his reward. But if i don't, it will be publicly visible and means the end of the trust. And i don't want this to happen until i die (and i probably involve an IA agent or some trustable people to take the lead after me). That's also why i prefer to start with a low amount and increase it, if needed or requested, with time. I want to chain multiple tombolas and increase trust, month after month, and everyone could check i respect the rules i have written.
- Why don't you use github and smart contract ?
To be honest, i don't know how to do it for the smart contract part, and i even don't know if it is possible to do all the process without any human action (because we don't know by advance how many people will participate and the value of the nonce block). If one day i find a way to do it "publicly" (with the secure and privacy concern), i will probably test it before make it for the real tombola. And for the github, it's very easy to understand, i don't trust them. If a "persuasive" someone want them to close an account or give account infos, then it will be the end of the anonymity and for sure the tombola too.
- Why did you do this tombola they are many website faucets / lotteries about it nowadays ?
Because i don't trust them. I mean, they are completely hiding their process. It's easy to say you have loose, without any check possible. With the BTCTT everyone can check who have participate, the way the winner have been choose and the way fees are taken and what the winner get back to his wallet.
- I have sent 0.001 BTC tu buy a ticket but it still in the memory queue of the blockchain after the end date.
Sorry for you, but you have to check that you sent your BTC with the right fee to have your transaction confirmed BEFORE the end date. It is a rule.
You have all the days before the end date to send your BTC to earn ticket, it is not clever to do it just few hours before the end, or with a too lower transaction fees.
- I have sent 0.0005 BTC and 0.0005 BTC from 2 different wallet address but it didn't count me one ticket, why ?
the participation to this tombola is completely anonymous, it means you only provide your wallet address when you send your BTC and nothing else. There is no possibility to know if it is the same person behind 2 different addresses. To be clear, 1 address means 1 person for me. And the sum of amount is done by address to know how many ticket have been pourchase for each address. In your case you didn't reach the necessary amount to buy a single ticket for any of your used address, it finaly means no ticket.
- Any advises ?
I must stay a game for you, don't spent all your BTC in this tombola, just a few part you can loose (or win more). i've got this idea for few satoshis i have mine a long time ago. It was a small amount, and i wouldn't care to loose them if i could win much more with them. And today i realize this dream.
Be careful of what you do, amount, wallet address, respect the rules. It is a good lesson, because with cryptos, you always have to learn to be careful about that !
- Why should i try it ?
Because you can be the first to participate to a famous completely independent and trustable WEB3 lottery. I would like to see how it will work or not, grow or not. Aren't you as curious as i am ? With a possible reward in the end.
- Why are they 1% fees ?
It is for the idea, all the check and follow i will have to do about it, and the more i will "earn" in fees, the more i will be engaged to follow this tombola month after months...
- The winner haven't been paid immediately after the midday end date or the next block XXXX00, why?
They can be some reasons there. Sometimes the BTC network is highly used so the fee are very important, so i can delay some days after the transfer to low the fees transactions, then the winner will have more amount.
If the block is mined when i'm sleeping i will not wake up only for that 😀
If the delay is very huge and all the BTC amont stay there without moving, it would mean i'm dead without any other leader chosen 💀
- Will this tombola is forever ?
If one day i want to stop the tombola chain, i will do only 2 steps, take the fees, and transfer the rest to the winner, i will not send 1 satoshi to another wallet address.
- After you post this idea many people will want to start tombola like yours, how to check this is you the owner of BTCTT ?
It's easy, the first tombola and wallet i have launch is written here in this first post on nostr that will stay forever. And for the other futures tombolas you will just have to follow the chain of tombola (with all 1 satoshi transaction out) to reach the current one.
Of course you could play with other tombola, but because they are not me, you will not be sure they will respect the rules all the time... and it will be easy for them to broke a chain and start a new one... Me i only want to build the longest chain of trust i can !
- Many people and posts said "it is a scam" and they have loose BTC because of you !
It's not true and not false... It is a tombola ! it means they are winners and loosers. Of course loosers are not as happy as winners. But the difference is that you can publicly check what's going on here. Check if i have respect the rules i have written. You can check all the process. You can list incoming transactions wallets, list the "valid" tickets, apply the rule to find the winner, and check the outbound transaction to the winner wallet, and the amount. All other consideration is just bullshit and loosers complain.
- Why do you change of wallet for each tombola ?
Because i want to avoid mistake! And it's easier to get all incoming transaction address for the current active tombola if it is only all incoming address in the current wallet.

Thank you for the adventurous people that will show me some trust for this tombola project from the first days. I hope i will show them trust people still exist, and hope you will win one or more tombola !
Thanks for your support and your fair-play, and let's have some fun on this earth for the short time we spent on it.
For the one who don't trust enough, then don't play, it is so simple !
For the other, you are welcome to send advises, ways to improve the process (anonymity or automatize...), you can also say if you would prefer higher or lower ticker price or more or less tombola in a month/year. Keep in mind that i want all this to stay simple, clear, and with the best transparency process.
For the firsts tombola, if the minimum amount of 10 tickets is not reached at the end date, this end date is moved 15 days later (i hope this rule will never need to be apply).
I'm not sure i will still use this nostr account when the tombola routine will exists, it will just live on it own with the same rules.
