Set your things and let me know.

Ditto.

Since you have been so willing to publicly share postage addresses of people who are neither you nor Mike Caldwell,
maybe tell us who the users are that are making you those PM offers?

Time files and it's already been half a year since I started tracking.
The OP has been updated with the current chart summarizing all months so far and table containing more information (eg rollovers).

Here are the numbers for May (Month #6):

BTC investment: 0.350% increase.
ETH investment: 0.159% increase.
LTC investment: 0.670% increase.
XMR investment: 0.947% increase.
STRAT investment: 0.787% increase.
DOGE investment: 0.964% increase.
DASH investment: 6.152% increase.
PPC investment: 0.882% increase.
GAS investment: 0.053% increase.
BCH investment: 1.011% increase.

Average return assuming same investment in all coins: 1.198% increase.

Despite a slightly lower average rollover (79.65% compared to 103.49% the month before), the average investment increase has almost doubled from 0.65% to 1.198%.
In May, all tracked investments have been showing positive returns (last time this happened was December / Month 1), and they have mostly been in the same/expected area.
Visible exception is DASH, which jumped by over 6.15%, bringing it from a previously negative to now 6.133% total increase. Which leaves GAS/GRC as only coin being down overall in the 6 month period.

Announcement:

In order to make the monthly wagering contest more fair both between different currencies and between different months,
there will be some adjustments made to the way rewards are being calculated from this month forward.

First off, there will be more players directly rewarded, the amount is increased to:

10 direct rewards on BTC and ETH
7 direct rewards on LTC and DOGE
5 direct rewards on BCH.

Additionally, there will be 5 direct rewards on another currency that will change each month,
for this month, that currency will be DASH, next month XMR, the month afterwards STRAT.

While the reward still depends on your rank on the monthly leaderboard,
it will now be percentual based on your total wagering during the month that was used to achieve the position, instead of being a predetermined amount for each rank.
To make sure no abuse takes place, there however will be a maximum reward for each place that cannot be exceeded.
These changes will not affect the lottery ticket prices, which will additionally to the direct cash rewards also be given out to the winners of the monthly wagering contest.

If you have any questions about how the new wagering contest works, feel free to ask them here.

Doesn't matter either way, we are until further notice filled up, and not enrolling anyone at the moment.

Nope, it's a global problem. I'm getting the same errors.
I've pinged someone to look into it.

My investment since the 1st is up by 0.35% which is in line with your 4 week and 5 week results of 0.29% and 0.37%

A lot of people only compare based on one factor, eg they look for the highest house edge, or the highest total wagers, but ignore other things that have an impact on your profits.
One number I feel is very important but doesn't get looked at as much is the rollovers (bankroll to wager ratio), which is eg why PPC has a way higher profit than BTC, even though having little traffic.
So my advice would be to take a look at all numbers when comparing investments, not just a single aspect of them.

There's a return address on those pictures, just saying.

There has never been an artwork by Elihu Vedder on a coin before?



(Medal for Columbian Exposition, for the 400th Anniversary for the Landing of Columbus, October 21, 1892; Bronze with brown patina; 2-1/2 inches or 6.4 cm diameter)
Sounds an awful lot like a coin to me.
[Reference to the original drawing by Vedder at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC]

Another one with the same artwork was done the following year:



And those weren't only these two single/named pieces pictured above, they also had public sales of silver coins/medals with this artwork.

100 years later (in 1992), the United States Pavilion released a Commemorative bronze medal with the same design once again:

As the title says, this is a monthly thread.
The stats for the months December to April (the last full month) are in the original post, that's how the investments are looking like right now.
The next update will happen in early June with the stats for this month, May, no new stats before that.

Around 3 hours in total, yes.
