The commentary is fun, DrHaribo Tongue

I wonder if micheletegon will bring their hashing power back to try and reclaim #1.

OMG. I actually created a block after I lowered my hashrate here by auctioning off multiple USB miner sticks lol Cheesy

Fefox snatches first place away from micheletegon. But will it hold until the end of the race?

F90kX finds a better block and is back in the top 10.

well that would be very helpful for variance. lets hope so.

Yah variance has been horrible since AM went solo, odd thing is though, back before AM came on, I wanna say 2 months ago when pool total was only 3 TH or so, the variance didn't seem that bad. I guess it might relate to difficulty, 3TH then was like 9TH now.

What kind of partnership will take place between CloudHashing and BitMinter? Will their hardware be mining through BitMinter as their main pool?

That's the plan.

Hi Guys, I have a question to cloudhasher and/or DrHaribo.

What kind of partnership will take place between CloudHashing and BitMinter? Will their hardware be mining through BitMinter as their main pool?

Thanks,

As Boomz finds a block, F90kX's block is pushed out of the top 10 positions where the prizes are. We then see F90kX respond by gathering up their hash power and pushing up to over 200 GH/s. micheletegon, not to be outdone, does the same. As the two knife for the top hashrate position, this race is getting interesting.

pszalwinski's block narrowly misses, placing him outside of the top 10 in the current standings. F90kX can breathe a sigh of relief, but his position is looking very precarious.

In other news, today BitMinter is 2 years old!

We've seen jocampo, MarcelM and F90kX find blocks today. With 8 blocks found already and only 10 prizes some of those are not likely to be eligible for a prize by the end of the race. micheletegon is looking pretty secure in first place, though, at least for the time being.

Just spoke to the guys at CloudHashing and they seemed very sensible saying that they'd try to keep the hashing rate up to keep track with the difficulty. However, that's going to be tough come 6 months time or more.

Best of luck.

Oh right. Thanks for that. Difficulty will be so high by then it won't make sense I think and their estimate of the return is overdone.

As I said, if it look too good to be true, then it probably is.......

CloudHashing say they have 30Th on order. How many do they have running now, if any ? When I pay for a contract does it begin for me immediately ?

How can it make business sense to pay out $520 for a payment of $149 ? (Though I appreciate they probably paid less than $50 for that 1Gh)

I'm not trying to be negative but when something looks too good to be true, it normally is and I'm just trying to satisfy myself that this isn't a scam or something that will last a month and then disappear.

is there a place we can check to see if we created a block? instead of going through all the blocks page by page to see?

It's not possible yet, but I plan to add that in the future.

For the mint race though, it's pretty quick to check, since the latest blocks are listed first.

farfie has a hash of 61gh.

my hash is 6gh so he is more likely to win then myself. the whole pool of bitminter is 4700gh.

so my chances are about 6 of 4700.

Thanks, I'm at about 1 in 10,000 to make a block I guess, until my BFL stuff arrives. Then I guess we're hoping for around 40 blocks in a week? So chance of winning 1/400,000 ish... hmmmm, maybe I should pull some hash, to make it an exact million to one shot... because of the Discworld theory that exact million to one shots come up nine times out of ten.

SgtMoth's new equipment is stuck in customs and there is a rumor that Fefox is lacking his best rig. The timing could not be worse.

Meanwhile micheletegon pushes up near the top of the top50 list and grabs a block that easily places him in first position. More surprisingly, hellerstern66, who is not even on the top 50 list lands a block good enough for second position so far. Clearly someone minting above their weight.

The finish line is still a long way off though.

And the winner is (i guess) : https://bitminter.com/block/btc/0000000000000021483f78f4b3baf6819e4d931ce62efb389af3a0447e5cb1eb

less than a minute (~10 secs) ! Cool

Ahh but that is not the determining factor. It is a matter of how low the hash value is. MicheleTegon is winning. See the first post in the thread where Doc is listing them.
