Aaarg just as you thought it could not get much worse, someone has plugged up some more Miners and we have ended the Day at +38.89% & 200 Blocks... Run rate this period at +19.56% so unless things back off a bit we will end up even higher than that.....


Rich

Its a sign that this isn't the worse to come. Most likely next diff increase will be at least another +10%

yeah that jump to 200 is a bad sign before that one we were at 189 for a high this jump.

but if the 200 is the true number and not the 189 we are in for +10 next time.

right now with 21 blocks to go look like skuser may win contest..  I set a top cut off 1 higher and I think he picker 20.9  I do not think we can get over 21.9

so he is in good shape. if we slow a little it still could go low enough for the others

+18.7 = lanfeusst
+18.8 = radiumsoup
+19.0 = RichBC
+19.5 = mavericklm
+19.9 = Kexkey
+20.9 = skuser

Kexkey looks like the lock of the century to win .

IT WOULD TAKE A 2 hour block for him to lose.

I think.

[zebedee]

Haha, 20.06%, pipped 20%.

[philipma1957]

Haha, 20.06%

That makes Kexkey a winner  as this was a no rollover .

and he is closest.

@ Kexkey please give a btc addy for payment.


we are now down to .8 btc to give away in the following adjustments.

[zebedee]

Haha, 20.06%

That makes Kexkey a wiiner

Can we go back to exact only wins?  Nearest winning makes people game where they place their bets to cut others off and grab ranges.

we are at that  rule for 1 rollover.

Once we go to .2 no rollovers .

the only rollover at .2 is lowest pick and highest pick can not be off by 1

say 21 is top pick he tops out at 22

say -2 is low pick he bottoms out at -3


 as we had a lot of issues when we were at .3 and .4   rewards.  I caught at least 3 or 4 fake entries when prize got high

If its only purpose is to keep the reward from getting to big, just cap it at 0.2; no-one wins that period and the pot stays the same.  Better than nearest wins IMO

[skuser]

I think the nature of this betting game has so high level of probability (or variance if you want) that sticking to exact number to win a prize could cause to have no winner for unwanted amount of periods. I think it's better fun if there is always some winner.

Congratz Kexkey!
Feeling like a baby with a tit dangling all day in front of him, but no luck

[RichBC]

Well done to kexkey. Thought I was going to be close but saw it drifting ever higher over the last 24 Hrs.

We did allow endless rollovers  and it attracted a lot of scamming at the .3btc and the .4 btc levels.


I think 1 rollover and the lowball highball limits once the rollover stops is the best I can do.

And WTF its a free shot at coin.  Plus a place to BS.

@ Kexkey   I need your btc addy to pay you

Congratz Kexkey  on win.  And ouch this one did not go the way I was hoping it would.  +20 is higher then I like to see.

Hopefully next week will be easier, but it's starting pretty strong it looks like.

doesn't look great, looks like we have another 100PH push

[vapourminer]

congrats! and i initially thought a 20+ percent guess was nuts...

[philipma1957]

looks to be 20% again  which will kill off  some s-5's

if we do 20% to 175 a 6 cent price  for power and s-5's are about dead

[Kexkey]

lol hey thanks!  As a miner, I was hoping not to win.

Let's hope next jump will be nicer on us.

Today is looking bad also, its only 75% of the day so far and we have achieved +31% so far. Doesn't look like it will stop at +20%, this will go on for the next few weeks before stabalizing.

Well this is the best jump of all the ones we had.  It is  a really flat jump. by this  i mean  every day is up and around 168-175

My guess is we do 20% and then 3-5% on the next one.

doubtful.. seems i've been talking about deployed hardware on deaf ears.. said this diff would be highest increase and next 3 or so diffs at the minimum will all be in the 20% range, if not higher.. who knows.
