We are going to hit two today!!

I can dream.

my F5 button is going to stop woking with all this refreshing.....lol

Hoping!!!  I play the litecoin lottery every once in a while, done very well there!!  Never hit a BTC block.

I do not think I can do the math on the value of your hash.

So if we hit I would not know what your share would be.

Maybe both of us will hit a block.

Separately

Good luck

If you guys want some more hash, I can move my rentals onto your pool.
{"hashrate1m": "209T", "hashrate5m": "211T", "hashrate1hr": "208T", "hashrate1d": "89.4T", "hashrate7d": "16.4T", "lastupdate": 1447510735, "workers": 332, "shares": 2421917389, "bestshare": 380563939.74296552}

Have most of it for another 12 hours

When you consider there could be a share worth 2^224 in the endgame...  "max target / n" or as it is now; 63B  doesn't seem like such a big number...

But there are SOOOOOOOOO many fewer chances to hit those higher shares.

I am surprised I regularly see 20M and 100+M shares on both my antminer U3 and my S3.  Must be a lucky address;  though I have yet to hit a block myself.


The raffle ticket analogy is great; aside from your number not being called.
But the problem is you don't know what number will be on your ticket till you get it.  And the number needs to only be equal or greater than a baseline number.

yes with the hashrate. tbf even someone CPU mining could produce a 65B hash. With every block found the attempt to 'brute force' the block restarts with different work for the new one. We just have loads and loads of raffle tickets available! I would say its a raffle and lottery combo because there is more than one solution per block.


This is like 500TH for example, so 500 trillion attempts per second to solve, a CPU would be 100kH or similar for example, or 500Mh for a GPU or 333MH for some older block erupters. Someone pulled a 2 billion share from a USB stick miner at 5Gh/s.

Each attempt to solve the block is independent of the last, each 500 trillion attempts to solve the block is independent of the previous one. Akin to a roulette table or coin toss, each result is independent of the last. The S3 solver who was adamant he would solve one I did think the law of attraction played a role, but then again I am a big believer in the law of attraction. But I won't add philosophies to here because many would probably prefer hard data! You could power on a miner and solve it today, tomorrow, several months. In theory, the entire network could wait a year to solve one, in theory only. You may notice sometimes blocks get solved a couple of minutes apart, sometimes theres an hour or more between blocks. For that hour miners were still brute-forcing the same work.

Thanks!

So is there should be chance for this experiment to reach 65b?

no all it is how close the share submitted matched the network difficulty. The high share is utterly worthless and is just like any other share before it that doesn't solve a block but its that it was a share that came close to the 65 billion needed. When I rented hash I got a 7B share within a few seconds but never had one greater during the hours I rented it.

With EVERY hash generated and share submitted it either solves a block (So greater than 65billion) or doesn't solve a block (lower than 65 billion)

Jacob

Would be great if you guys explained why "getting close" shares" etc,
so the shares does matter? and how many share for this "mininglotto" would be needed?

reminds me of the tomb raider movie where the log is trying to pierce the urn and it goes so close... and then the illuminati guy goes 'nooooo' then it hits the next time (the part where they get the first triangle piece)

Damn...
We need, just a little bit more!!

bestshare: 57,632,365,146.529419  sooooooo close

heres to a block

it's alive, it's alive

good luck to all

Cool! thanks philip!

next game I will run 1 more this month.

you can put in as long as we did not hit a block which so far we have not.

we still have coins to play 1.5  and time on the meter for the 700th  19 hours or so.

the math is easier if you put the .505 btc in we go back up to the 8 coins we planned on.  make sure to let us know asap.

just did a 4 bill share

hopefully!

Not, yet.
But the next one is definitely ours))
