pick update to 106% pls
April 25, 2016, 06:30:22 AM
101% 
Welcome aboard.Well, that was a good try with about 7ph, no dice. That said please put me down for 102%
Thanks
Yeah, was fun to see the pool spike up to over 7PH Thanks
. It also showed just how quickly 1% passes when you drop the hammer like that.Edit: I guess that would be 104% since 101% is already taken by wardie777

S**t I missed my spot for a 1-2PH rental for couple hours 
Someone must have pushed some hash during my 1% window. I went to sleep in the 79% region and this morning found it at 83%.
Johnny with regards to my new guess, there is a small window between bctmke and GoJonnyGo (less than 1%), is it possible to put my guess there ? If not just add me in for the 101%. Thanks.
Edit: I guess that would be 104% since 101% is already taken by wardie777

I agree that having some hash (like 5GH min.) for the "entire round" (with allowances for downtime and such, Johnny makes the final call) would be fair and at least have the desired effect of growing the pool for each round, not just a little here and there. I strongly encourage allowing votes to change, it keeps interest levels active. Maybe you can limit to 2 choices per 100% range (0-100%, 101-200%, etc.) if you had to limit it, but at least that way say a 500% block comes along people can still be actively guessing and throwing rentals.
In the end keep it fun, too many rules and it's too hard to manage and no longer a fun contest to participate in.

Yeah the diff guess thread has five or six rules .
Don't need twenty or thirty rules.
I would not worry about forcing constant hashing it might be really hard to track it.
Cause a bad vibe if a winner loses due to a black out or something.

new guess : 105%.
the percentage being close to each other seems fine as long as it was picked well in advance.
it seems to me gap of .2% is fine as long as folks are picking into the future, -gt 10% of the current share %.
that leaves it open to luck plus some space for rental without someone sneaking in while you're renting.
within 5-10% of your guess, you'll know know the percentage layout is now fixed and how to best structure rentals.
edit: i think an extended fair way is to earn .1% buffer credit per your 24h hash rate up to 1% or n%, but that may be getting a little complicated to manage.
Interesting thought on the "earn a buffer for every X days of constant mining". Would definitely be a bit of a pain to manage... but would add an interesting flair to things. Hmmm...the percentage being close to each other seems fine as long as it was picked well in advance.

pushing 400th for a bit
we are at 80.56
so I am working for eghigo
80.57 and moving
make that 80.60
once the pool is running over 500th numbers do move faster.

Yes, obviously if the pool is down for any reason, that time would not count against you As stated earlier, I'm still working on how the contest will run in future incarnations. I like the suggestions so far, and the discussion is helping to identify potential gotchas and to provide some good insights.

Sorry that I missed renting extra for Mike and my zone...
I was either sleeping or working...
My new guess will be 100% -- and I hope the block is solved prior to that...
As far as mining for the entire block -- The only issue I have with that is that we had that awful DDOS attack during this block. I'm traveling and I was getting calls from home 3 or 4 times a day telling me that my miners were going crazy (beeping) -- It was only the 1 miner pointed here -- but they don't know the difference. I had to take it off the pool until the pool issue was resolved. I was pretty sure that Jonny would be OK with that under the circumstances...
Other than that exception -- the whole point of the contest, I believe, is to build base hash -- so it would make sense...

I do like the rule having to mine the whole round. Any amount of hash but entire round with shares submitted 20 of 24 hours each day. Keeps the people from just playing without contributing and also fake accounts from being used. You want to play but don't have HW? Rent 5th for a week, there are ways. I also like Phils pointers since he's done this before. All good points. I mine here all the time with different hash rates as most other playing so that's a good way to keep it going with honest people.
there are a few points lets say next time 20 people 5% = 100 %
we all have exactly a 1 in 20 shot at the bonus of a block in our zone. this is a great thing for the small guy
some of us can afford a big rental for our zone this is a good thing for the big guy.
I don't mind if a small guy gets 5.00 to 9.99 zone and mines 1 compac stick relying on us (rest of pool) to hit the block in that zone.
helping the little guy out is okay as later in the btc game he could help me out.
weighing the right prize for zone hit vs zone hit + block hit is important.
maybe 1.5 + 1.5
not 2 + 1
also setup a join period say during 0 to 5% and see how many join say the 20 at 5
then cut off joining after that.
this does stop my judypug1956 joining after my philipma1957 missed.
just suggestions as I will toss hash here either way we do it.

My miners are hosted at "guest location" running only by night and they may (and do) have random day off.I believe I'm not alone who can't mine 24/7 (not by choice) also this rule would favour 1GH USB stick owners over my 4TH contribution.
If you go for minimum hash idea - it will push off other group of small miners. Same for minimum share contribution. This lottery is much better for USB stick miners than solo forever route.
IMHO this contest aim is to add extra incentive for anyone to choose this pool (and throw rentals) on top of joining good independent pool but not to make it interesting to only professional farms maintained 24/7.

Yeah, you bring up good points. I haven't set anything in stone yet. Maybe we do 2 picks. Maybe you have to be mining the entire round to qualify.
I had so many people try so many angles on the giveaway thread.
We ended up with
a) a set range pick for each and every one
as low as you want
-0.1
0
0.1
0.2
0.3
0.4
as high as you want.
b) at least on site for 2 months
c) at least 30 good posts
d) picks started at a certain block
e) picks ended at a certain block
f) I assign a pick if you make a non eligible pick
this set of rules helped the giveaway a lot. still not perfect but better.
so 2 coin prize
0
4
8
12
16
20
24
28
32
end at 96
then 1 coin prize
100
104
108
112
end at 196
if block goes over 199.99 no winner
this could work or a variation.
gives each player a 4 % zone and a 1 in 25 chance to win 2 btc the first 100%

I like multiple picks as it keeps you in the game for whole round, also gives incentive to gamble more (more likely will spend 5x 0.05 instead of 1x 0.25).
I think this way overall average (rental backed) hashrate of the pool will be higher.

I'm still working out rules for upcoming rounds. There will definitely be a range. That range will probably be around 5%. You will likely only get 1 pick - which must be made prior to the round start. The prize will be rolled over into the following round if nobody's guess wins.
This means gamblers would shot massive rental just once, if I am grasping "zone rentals" correctly.I'm still working out rules for upcoming rounds. There will definitely be a range.

true but if it is 5% and there are 12 people we cover the first 60% and it is over for the promo.
I see an issue lets say 12 do it from 5 to 65%
What prevents judypug1956 from joining at 70%
philipma1957 is my older account
judypug1956 is a secondary account for me.
I know it sounds like a nudge but we had so many issues on my give away thread
had to ask that question. if we do a 1 pick limit.
how about a 2 pick limit ? Should cut that problem down a lot.
