Thanks for the feedback and encouragement.
> What need in the market does this idea meet that's not previously being met by email, twitter, other ideas, etc?
This makes it possible to reach a crowd to spread a meme message without any effort and without being able to be
considered an abusive spammer since all are opting in for the service and welcoming it.
Also, seems quite fun. You receive an email everyday with all messages that people want to spread for a few seconds of
all the crowd attention. Pretty much as you would imagine an Email Megafone!
> Would love to hear what additional enhancements or explanations you make to your idea.
Maybe similar systems could be done with twitter or whatsapp.
Also, maybe you could be forced to click a link to acknowledge that you received the email.
>So this is basically email advertising, like what a lot of stuff in my spam box is. I think that this would be filtered by most email provider's spam filters.
If you were having fun and were interested in the service you wouldn't, supposedly, mark it as spam and your email provider would be intelligent enough to recognize your interest in this emails and messages.
>Also, how would the winner be determined by the block hashes and what are the place numbers?
Very simple math. Since you have a very large random number you can use it to shuffle the list and pick a random entry.
You divide the very large random number by the number of entries and the rest of that integer division (modulus operation) is the selected winning entry.
{Random_Hash_of_Latest_Block % number_of_entries} = selected_entrie
You keep adding entries to the list and each new entry will have an entry number that corresponds to its place in the list. Nothing fancy. You just keep adding at the end of the list all new entries and each entry will have a place and entry number. Hope it doesn't sound complicate because it really is not.
