Title: Video Card Giveaway - BitClockers Mineaway July 2011
Post by: V2-V3 on July 06, 2011, 02:17:42 AM
The contest for JULY has started! (http://bitclockers.com/)

We'll be giving away an ATi Radeon HD 6950 Graphics Card (http://bitclockers.com/forums/index.php?topic=137.0) 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 July.  Every share submitted between 7/1/2011 and 7/31/2011 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 Friday, August 12th, we will draw 3 tickets with a random function in the #bitclockers irc channel.   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 Friday, August 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.

You can find a list of worker shares and ticket numbers for the PREVIOUS month's contest here: http://bitclockers.com/files/workerticketsjune2011.html

The august 12th draw is for the current month of July

And the previous month (June)? When is/was the draw? Oh, and btw, I don't remember if I entered an email address when first signing up, and honestly I can't find a way to verify that, can you provide some guidance?

Thanks!

I think the drawing for last month will be on the 12th,

As for your email address If you request a password reset it should go to your attached email address. If you did not use an Email address with your account I might recommend you create a new account with an email address attached to it.

For one month or maybe an all summer type of giveaway, Bitclockers should put together an entire mining rig!

I spent the day clocking my GPU's got +30% hash rate for a total of 8GHash/s  and right about midnight one of the fans stopped working and the rig was at my office 15 min away, I drove all the way up there to find out one MSI 5870 fan lost 3 blades and another fan just stopped spinning bearing went bad and the GPU overheated crashing the system...

What is the specif version of GPU you are using? It sounds like you need to VMOD the card to get more out of it.

The card I'm using at the moment is a Radeon 4650.

Remember people, It's not to late to start mining for a chance to win. Each share submitted is like a raffle ticket.
Pool op's are also exempt.
