[BOUNTY 10BTC] Mining FTC blocks 1BTC@32880,32900,32920,32940,32960 5BTC@33,000

[bushstar]

Update - After some feedback the bounty has been spread over several blocks to offer rewards for mining right now.

Intro
Feathercoin is now 143 blocks away from a difficulty adjust that sees its new more fine grained difficulty adjust start working. The adjust was initially aimed for one week ahead but as many miners have had to chase the most profitable coins we have seen our hash rate drop. With our current difficulty we are at 50% profitability so the miners we have are the one who think longer term. The Feathercoin team is working on bringing value and services to Feathercoin so you will be able to put your coins to good use.

Bounty
To get the hash rate up I am putting up a bounty of 1BTC for the miner of block 32880,32900,32920,32940 and 32960 and another 5BTC for the miner of block 33,000.

Bonus Bounty - Pledged by Justabitoftime - 5BTC for block 33k if it gets mined by May 25 2013 08:15:15AM (US Eastern Standard Time)

Unless you are a very large miner you will want to mine on a pool. When the block has been mined we will contact the pool owner to find out the user and if we are unable to identify you we will send the bounty, in Feathercoins, to your FTC address registered on the pool, or add the amount to your pool wallet if you do not have a payout address. I have included a list of pools below.

Bounty Blocks Mined
32,880 - 1BTC sent to ra532
32,900 - 1BTC sent to D2 pool
32,920 - 1BTC sent to zerodrama

Talk about thinking outside the sqaure...

I am rooting for u guys ...

[Hydroponica]

So, the only incentive, is for the big guys. No reward for smaller miners, that have little to no chance, of hitting the blocks....Thanks, but no thanks

[aikklond]

Excellent !!!

There are 52 people connected to Coinotron. Let's say that Coinotron is the pool that finds the block, I will talk to Coinoton, track you down and give you Bitcoins

The large miners are chasing the most profitable coins as they have bills to pay. By connecting to pools we become large miners ourselves. If a solo miner find the block they can sign a message in the block chain using the client to identify themselves.

That's cool and all, but what I mean is, in Pools, %99 of the time, it's the big guys in the pool, that actually find the block

[Agozyen]

Just pointed about 1,000 Khash to D2 pool.  When FC hit BTC-E I dumped all my BTC (5 or so) into FC and then it tanked.  I really hope FC is going to be around for a while.

[meltingrobot]

Pointed my 4-500kh at it.  I know it's a longshot, but it's better odds than the lotto...
