The contest for August has started!
We'll be giving away an ASUS ATI Radeon 6970 Direct Cu II Graphics card to one lucky winner in the pool.

You do not need to enter to win.  You must have a valid email address tied to your mining account (when you created it) and submit at least 1,000 shares in the month of August.  Every share submitted between 8/1/2011 and 8/31/2011 will generate one ticket.  Therefore, miners that submit the most shares over the month will have a better chance at winning.  Shares and tickets will be aggregated by account and not by worker.  You are free to use and create multiple workers.

On Monday, September 12th, we will draw 3 tickets with a random function in the #bitclockers irc channel. (http://bitclockers.com/livechat)   Tickets will be drawn using the python random function.  The other 2 tickets are backups in the event the winner does not claim their prize.  We will post a list of workers and ticket numbers for inspection about 48 hours before we random the winner.

The winner will be announced at the time of drawing and then be notified by the email address supplied with their account.   Winner must respond within 5 days with a valid mailing address to receive their card.  If we are unable to contact the winner via email their prize will be forfeited to the next winning ticket holder.

The drawing for this month's contest will be held LIVE Monday, September 12th 2011, at 6:30pm PST in our IRC channel. You can use the Live Chat (http://bitclockers.com/livechat) link at the top to join us.

Does your pool work off donations or require a fee?

1% fees I believe.... I've been mining there since I started (I'm late to the party) and I really like the layout and the charts/statistics that they offer.  A chance at a high end GPU is just a bonus. :D

Since you display when the block started this pool is vulnerable to hoppers, or else I would join in to win the card

*edit* - Just tried it out with a spare 400 MH/s 5850,  ran it for about a minute or two and had 2 accepted, 2 rejected, and lots of "work queue empty, miner idle"

It's already used by hoppers.

Most hoppers stopped using it now since the server cant handle the traffic, way to many idleminers and way to many connection timeouts for hoppers or normal users.

Not worth the hassle.

Best prize yet !

Server is operating with all systems nominal, give it a try :)

I cant wait for the draw :D

The Drawing will be live in our IRC channel September 12th 2011, at 6:30pm PST

Mmmm.. but now I want a MARS II
hahahaha

Well F. Didn't see this thread until today. By the time I get home, I probably won't be able to submit 1k shares. Oh well.

You can do it!

Well as they said in the good 'ole days, "Lord willin' an' iffin the crik don't rise" I will be there. ;)

Hahaha, So will I :)
I actually have enough shares to be counted for now :)

Actually, looking at their stats, this pool is getting hammered by hoppers like a twenty dollar hooker https://bitclockers.com/statistics .
