(finished) Mint Race #4: great prizes from CloudHashing.com !

[shiunsai]

is there a place we can check to see if we created a block? instead of going through all the blocks page by page to see?

It's not possible yet, but I plan to add that in the future.

For the mint race though, it's pretty quick to check, since the latest blocks are listed first.

CloudHashing say they have 30Th on order. How many do they have running now, if any ? When I pay for a contract does it begin for me immediately ?

How can it make business sense to pay out $520 for a payment of $149 ? (Though I appreciate they probably paid less than $50 for that 1Gh)

I'm not trying to be negative but when something looks too good to be true, it normally is and I'm just trying to satisfy myself that this isn't a scam or something that will last a month and then disappear.

[usualsuspect]

i think the new contracts signed today dont start until sept. if thats any help to your time line

[drwho88888]

Oh right. Thanks for that. Difficulty will be so high by then it won't make sense I think and their estimate of the return is overdone.

As I said, if it look too good to be true, then it probably is.......

[drwho88888]

Just spoke to the guys at CloudHashing and they seemed very sensible saying that they'd try to keep the hashing rate up to keep track with the difficulty. However, that's going to be tough come 6 months time or more.

Best of luck.

We've seen jocampo, MarcelM and F90kX find blocks today. With 8 blocks found already and only 10 prizes some of those are not likely to be eligible for a prize by the end of the race. micheletegon is looking pretty secure in first place, though, at least for the time being.

[DrHaribo]

pszalwinski's block narrowly misses, placing him outside of the top 10 in the current standings. F90kX can breathe a sigh of relief, but his position is looking very precarious.

In other news, today BitMinter is 2 years old!

[DrHaribo]

As Boomz finds a block, F90kX's block is pushed out of the top 10 positions where the prizes are. We then see F90kX respond by gathering up their hash power and pushing up to over 200 GH/s. micheletegon, not to be outdone, does the same. As the two knife for the top hashrate position, this race is getting interesting.

Hi Guys, I have a question to cloudhasher and/or DrHaribo.

What kind of partnership will take place between CloudHashing and BitMinter? Will their hardware be mining through BitMinter as their main pool?

Thanks,


Adriano

  well that would be very helpful for variance. lets hope so.

That's the plan.

Yah variance has been horrible since AM went solo, odd thing is though, back before AM came on, I wanna say 2 months ago when pool total was only 3 TH or so, the variance didn't seem that bad. I guess it might relate to difficulty, 3TH then was like 9TH now.

[DrHaribo]

Fefox snatches first place away from micheletegon. But will it hold until the end of the race?

F90kX finds a better block and is back in the top 10.

The commentary is fun, DrHaribo    I wonder if micheletegon will bring their hashing power back to try and reclaim #1.

OMG. I actually created a block after I lowered my hashrate here by auctioning off multiple USB miner sticks lol

[ASICMining]

Pretty exciting to watch =)

[DrHaribo]

SilentSonicBoom finds a good block, earning him 4th place.

F90kX is having the worst luck this mint race. Now also his second block has been pushed off the top 10 rankings. There is still time though, and he's doing a pretty decent 220+ GH/s. Can be get on the top 10 a third time?

[DrHaribo]

Wow. primaxbits, who is not even on the top 50 hashrates list, is showing some excellent minting work. That's easily first place so far, and it will be very tough to beat.

There's barely over 20 hours left of the race. For some miners time is running out...
