Title: Block 100,000 for Christmas, make that New Years Post by: Hal on December 07, 2010, 08:29:57 PM We're at block 96,000+ now and block 100,000 is in sight. At current rates it should show up by Christmas, depending on how much computing power increases by then.
Anybody up for a pool betting on when block 100,000 will appear? Say 1 Bitcoin per person? Post your guess here (UTC only) and commit to paying 1 btc to whomever's closest. Let's close the guessing after block 98000 so late guessers don't have too much advantage. I'll start and pick noon Christmas day, for fun.

Title: Re: Block 100,000 for Christmas Post by: Hal on December 22, 2010, 08:05:40 PM Well there wasn't much interest in the bet, that's fine. Looks like Christmas was a little optimistic anyway. By my calculations, at current rates block 100,000 should show up in about 6 days, 2 1/2 hours, or about 10:30 PM UT on Dec 28.

Title: Re: Block 100,000 for Christmas, make that New Years Post by: Hal on December 28, 2010, 02:11:19 AM Thanks! I'm enjoying the countdown to 100,000. Looks like it might not happen until the 29th, but it'll be soon.
Title: Re: Block 100,000 for Christmas, make that New Years Post by: jib on December 30, 2010, 03:25:24 AM I think 105,000 is also a significant milestone. It's halfway to the first generation amount decrease (after 210,000, each block only generates 25 bitcoins)
