  Yeah it has been fun for the most part.  I am just getting a bit burnt out with the day to day grind of mining in general.

The bitfinex robbery.
The s9's breaking far too easily.
The lack of a signature sponsor to help pay for this.
The extra care to maintain my GPU farm to allow for ETH coin mining.

I need a vacation.


So we be locked and done for 2016.  Maybe I come back on my birth month in 2017 (January )

Thank you.

party was a lot of fun.  I am sore and tired this morning.  thats the joy of being 59 vs 19  body takes two or three times longer to feel good from a hard day.

Hehe, I'm only 41 and I know what you are talking about.
But as long as it was fun, it's ok.

This set of threads was fun suchmoon came up with prize money idea and funded it for a year and change . I liked idea and funded it for 10 months.

I believe we gave away close to 3000 usd worth of btc.
the lowest price btc was during our time span was about 180
the lowest diff was about 35

price was as high as 770 it is now 615
diff is 258

Very interesting stats. I didn't know it was this long. I expected it costed you quite some money.

This was the opposite of most of things I've seen in this forum. While most of this forum sings about greediness, you and your threads were about being nice, informed, have a good time and maybe win some free money too. This is much closer to what I've seen in Dogecoin community when I came into the crypto world. And the name suchmoon sounds very much like Dogecoin related too Smiley I thank him too for the idea and for starting it up.
Most of the thanks still go to you, Phil, since it was you who ran these threads when I started reading them. And you are the one that has paid from own pockets my prize too.

Thank you.

Just got home from a party a 200 mile round trip in rain from Mathew hurricane .

NJ to  NY back To NJ.

TOO TIRED to do a send will send in the morning.

I hope you enjoyed the party, it sounds like quite a tiresome trip.
Take your time, that money it's going into the "make me rich someday" wallet, so it's never in a hurry.
I still have the "I can't believe it was me" smile Smiley

I've had a very busy day, actually the entire week was madness, me an my family have moved to a new home.
And we are still moving stuff.....

It was my less active week and I was not expecting this, especially as the last time I checked the diff was rising...

Thank you very much.
Wow.

An address... 1PaperxsxXxCrmEH8rGvaXctnrQur7cSQu please.
Thank you very much Phil!

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
Neuroticfish , congrats !

Phil thanks so much for running this, i always looked forward to these, not for the reward, it was for the fun of the guessing and watching the difficultly jump around and come near your guess towards the end. lent some suspense and fun as opposed the regular FUD that is everywhere else on the forum..

Phil, thanks so much for hosting this contest for so long. I was skeptical at first, thinking that predicting future difficulty was pure guesswork. That's why I made gentle fun by having our cats do the actual guessing Wink

But I was wrong. This game was not only fun, it became an important center for discussing the future of mining.

I'm going to miss this, because to me this thread has become part of every difficulty adjustment. I (or rather our cats) will probably keep guessing now, even without the thread.

All that said, I completely understand that you need a break.

Thanks again for your efforts!

As already said thanks for taking the time to do this. It's been a really great idea and definitely improved my view of the Bitcoin forum community. Fingers crossed for a block  Grin


Good as I was trying to do this as  a balance to all the nasty p.o.s. scammers.
