Haven't found a single block during the last year of mining. My luck for a block find is long overdue, maybe I'll manage to grab the race prize in the same go, but that'll be stretching it.

The first KnC Jupiter that has been earned through the reseller link at Bitminter will be the prize for the november mint race! Note that we don't know when these reseller units will be shipping. More information on that when the information is available from KnC. You can read more about the Jupiter device at https://www.kncminer.com/?resellerid=299 (also use that link to buy!)
Got 5% of the pool hashrate? That's a 5% chance to win 1st place. Even for smaller miners the chances should be better than most lotteries.
The race is open for everyone. All you have to do is mine at the Bitminter mining pool.
Start: friday 2013.11.01 at 00:00 UTC
Finish: saturday 2013.11.30 at 23:59 UTC
The prizes are:
1st place: KnCMiner Jupiter 550 GH/s ASIC device (currently selling for $4995)
2nd place: BTC Trinkets bitcoin miner lapel pin
3rd place: BTC Trinkets bitcoin miner lapel pin
Update: added bitcoin miner pins. Thanks, BTC Trinkets! More details on the pins at http://btctrinkets.com/presta2/index.php?id_product=26&controller=product
Rules:
Verifiability:
Hopefully your mining software will show if you have created a block (BitMinter client does). Your block will show with your user name in the block list at http://bitminter.com/blocks. You can click the height number for the block (leftmost column) to see details. There is a link there to blockchain.info where you can see the hash value of the block both on the page and in the URL. The lowest hash value wins. Hash values are shown in hexadecimal. 0-9 is lower than A-F. A is lower than B. Pretty simple.

Rules:
- Just like your hash must beat the difficulty to produce a block, it must beat the other miners to win. The best (lowest) hashes during the race will win.
- As long as your work is accepted by the server it is valid for the race, even if it ends up "stale" or "orphaned" in the block list.
- Each person can only compete with one (their best) hash.
- If a winner cannot be reached within 1 week, the prize will go to the next on the list. You may want to make sure that the "account details" page at bitminter.com has an email address listed for you so that you are easy to reach.
- Any block by DrHaribo will not count in the race.
