sounds good, but in reality it does not work. the chance is too small. been mining for a year, never got selected and fail count is still 0. which means there was not once that I would be selected and I just didn't have a share.
decided to check what's up a few months ago, and found that the random selection is not exactly random. it is heavily weighted against donor miners. I guess it makes some sense to incentivize being a donor, but this is never stated, so it only incentivizes who already knows.
I'm not stopping though, because I still have a hashrate that makes a little XMR I can use for something I would still pay for, but this raffle sounds scammy.
