I knew somebody would try to find a loophole ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) - and I should have written that more clearly. You can have exactly 1 active guess at any given time. If the shares percentage goes past your guess, you then have the choice to leave it as is, or make a new guess. The new guess must be at least 10% higher than your previous guess. Example: Miner guesses 37.6%. The pool exceeds 37.6%. Miner can now leave guess alone, or create a new guess at 47.6% or higher. Remember, it's closest to the actual percentage that wins. So, if you guess 37.6%, the pool passes 37.6% and you change to 47.6%, but the pool solves the block at 37.61%... well, you should have kept your original guess ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Thanks, may i also add 31.32% (if i understand the rules correctly;-)
So, no. You can't have both 31.32% and your original guess of 53.82%. What I'm trying to avoid happening is people trying to game the game ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) .

Let's play a game...
Phil used to run a "guess the next difficulty" thread that would give bonus BTC to whoever correctly guessed the upcoming difficulty correctly. We're going to do something similar here.
The game is this:
Guess the percentage of expected shares at which the pool hits the next block.
The prize:
2BTC
The catch:
You must actively be mining on the pool to qualify.
The closest guess to the actual percentage will be the winner. If there is a tie, the prize will be divided equally amongst the winners. As mentioned, you must be mining on the pool to qualify. I don't care if you have a single USB stick or a 10PH farm, you must be actively submitting shares to the pool.
There are no limits to how many times you can guess; however, each guess absolutely MUST be 10% or more than your previous one.
As an added bonus - if you are not only the person who guesses correctly, but you are also the block finder, you will receive an additional 1BTC. That's right - there's 3BTC total up for grabs.
So, point your miners here. Point your rentals here. Make your guesses and win some coins!
Excellent game! So potential is really 4 BTC I gather, be closest to block find percentage, find the block and if under 100% then standard award also? Just to be clear, if so then WOW! Still a WOW but thats a super WOW

No, the potential is 3 BTC. There are no other current promotions. Win the game? Get 2 BTC. Did you also find the block? Get an additional 1 BTC. There is no additional block finder's bonus or under 100% bonus - those were the last rounds' promotions ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) all clear....wasn't trying to find a loophole ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Leave my guess as it is :-) And thanks for clearing up!

Your initial guess is what I've recorded.
