Perfect timing on the GPUMAX run by Fefox, but Entropy snatched up the victory. With 3 blocks in this short race he has done some excellent minting.

Congratulations, Entropy! 5 BTC is in your account. Please get in touch to get your Bitcurex card. Smiley

Looks like Entropy is the winner! Grats man!

Props to Fefox for the (I'm assuming) GPUMAX purchase.  Here's to good luck for the pool while those shares remain in the last 10 shifts.

Happy birthday, Bitcurex guy!

Also, I received your response via E-Mail this morning.  Thank you for re-sending it; my E-Mail was having issues for a few days.

Happy birthday Bitcurex dude!

I'm enjoying my bitcurex card, but volume is very low.  Do you (at bitcurex) expect that to increase in the near future?  Prices fluctuate a lot too - sometimes they're higher than Mt. Gox and sometimes lower.  It would seem like a good deal to wire money in and buy low in order to sell high at gox...


It doesn't depend entirelly by us. But there is a significant volume increas in last weeks, so I think it will be bigger and bigger every day now.
Right now we are planning on enabling two more markets USD and GBP, they are ready but we need some more time to test and think about it before launching. I'm pretty sure they will be next week.
We are thiking of leaving one market EUR with GBP and USD deposits>converted to EUR and GBP and USD withdrawals to normal accounts. Maybe the volume would be bigger for the eur market but might be too complicated, so probably easier way is to enable separate markets USD and GBP.
There are lots of USD markets but only two ... well one GBP is left.
Problem is that it wont be (the GBP) domestic so bank charges might be little more than in domestic. But taking under consideration free and fast GBP withdrawals might be a way.

cheers



Thanks!  Will you have a domestic (US) bank for USD?

Only a few more blocks to go, odds are pretty slim of being me though with only 350mh/s... although there have been a few names other than the big contributors lately!

Also, happy birthday to the guy at Bitcurex Smiley

The race is now over. Winner: Entropy Smiley

BitMinter is approaching 1000 bitcoin blocks. Whoever creates block no. 1000 will receive a Bitcurex card and 5 BTC. The Bitcurex card is a VISA card you can use to cash out from the Bitcurex exchange after selling bitcoins.

Block list available here:
http://bitminter.com/blocks

Bitcoin block at height 199506 by amazingrando is the pool's 988th BTC block.

We'll ignore the stale/orphan status, all blocks on the list will count.

A thousand blocks is a nice milestone for the pool. Thanks to btc196 for suggesting a competition. May the best minter win! Smiley

The 5 BTC will be deposited directly in the winner's BitMinter account. For the Bitcurex card we need to get in touch with the winner. Please make sure you have an email address registered on your BitMinter account (see the "account details" page).

The home stretch:
gigavps got block no. 989
WhitePhantom got block no. 990
Entropy got block no. 991
Entropy got block no. 992
