18 minutes left. Some serious GPUmaxing going on.
jeffklause gets a BTC block, positioning himself in 3rd place. Current standings updated in original post.
Only 1 hour 50 minutes to go and Turbor is cranking up the GPUmax power.

Looks like Fefox is on the trigger now

zerogravity got a bitcoin block. It's not quite as good as malavita26's and that puts him in 2nd place so far. jakob is pushed down to 3rd place and dextryn is out of the top 3. New namecoin blocks by dobo79 and Fefox are not able to reach the top 3. Original post updated with current standings.
At the moment we can again see Isokivi pushing 13+ GH/s, most likely another GPUmax run. It will be interesting to see how it pays off.
13 hours left of the race, as I post this.

That long a wait is not normal in my (little experience) ..I'd check your login and pw on the purhase pool to be sure.

Interesting. I wonder if we will see some more GPUmax runs before the race is over.
The biggest miners are having no luck at all. malavita26's bitcoin block is still the finest minting of the race so far. After him we see jakob's namecoin block has taken up second place, pushing other contestants down on the list. Original post updated with current standings.

Aaaaand they're off!
Surprisingly Isokivi has fallen back just as the race starts. flowklem is also greatly reduced. The only thing keeping Fefox from catching up with flowklem is his burned out miner. How the next 48 hours will go is anybody's guess.

That hashrate you saw off me was gpumax, I made some trials with strategicly timed purchases. My hardware can at most push out a 4Ghs, but that would require sub-zero temeperatures and it's summer here now. Sadly I did not break even off my purchases, but Im happy to report that I seem to get 5-10% more accepted shares that Im paying for, each buy. So in theory during this race I might be able to justify getting a +/-o ev off gpumax.
dextryn pushes up to 7th place on the top 50 list, taking 2nd position in the race with a namecoin block. That's unlikely to stand for long however, as any bitcoin block will beat it.
malavita26 takes the lead with hash 000000000000062b2f28d5aa47f9c7ee05dca83ad9ec16c5d72da2dcf4d79ace
Will it stand to the end of the race or can someone get a lower one?

Aha perfect, the announcer warming up the crowd before the race. 
Well, I'm 12th, that's not THAT bad! 
With everyone pushing their hash rates that's pretty decent.
Currently we see flowklem and Isokivi knifing for pole position and the race hasn't even started yet. Isokivi hit a block but it was 82 minutes before start.
We just received a report that one of Fefox' rigs caught on fire. That burned out husk of a machine is not going anywhere this race. Still he is packing some serious hashing power even without this rig and Slipbye on fourth still has a long way up to Fefox on third.
45 minutes till start.
Update: Isokivi is pulling away, getting a small lead on flowklem.

Good luck for your weekend DrHaribo
Thanks, mate
With 1 hour and 30 minutes to go before start we see several miners pushing their hardware beyond their usual rates. Most obvious is flowklem running at 22-23 GH/s, about 10 higher than his usual. Those who have been watching could see him revving his engines to over 40 GH/s earlier. Below him we see some of the miners have moved up several places on the top 50 list in preparation for the race. Other miners again are less conspicuous, not wanting to give away what they are bringing before the race actually starts.
With many miners living in countries where summer has recently brought much higher temperatures they will have considerable problems keeping their rigs from overheating. Can their hardware deliver top performance for the full 48 hours of the race, or will we see some miners drop off as the heat forces their machines to shut down?

Update: With 90 minutes to go Isokivi makes a sudden move positioning him second on the top 50, just below flowklem and above Fefox on third. I don't know what he's doing to achieve this kind of performance, but you have to ask yourself, can his machines take the strain?
I am going to enter my 2gh Moped! WREEee..
Your Moped gets 2gh? Is it a vespa? And what kind of gh would you get with a motorcycle?
Good luck for your weekend DrHaribo
That was an awesome description! Kinda makes my Moped...tad wimpy?
