[Race is over!] Mint Race #5: Win a KnC Jupiter 550 GH/s ASIC device!

[DrHaribo]

Whoa! Ayrat is suddenly pushing over 10 TH/s. Not many can keep up with that kind of hashrate.

Things are getting interesting.

The third page is showing positions 12-21 rather than the expected 21-30.

The last page just shows the last 10 blocks, even if some of them were already shown on the previous page.

I'm nowhere in the list 

Needs more Jiggawatts!

[DrHaribo]

Ayrat, now running with 11 TH/s, got a block shortly after increasing the hashrate. It's only 12th place (15th now) but I think we will see more blocks from Ayrat.

bitmeme on the other hand finds a second block and moves into first place. The best hash by far.

But we are not even 10% into the race yet. Anything can happen.

[Aggrophobia]

fix poolluck -.-

[DrHaribo]

Just to be clear, the mint race is open to anyone. The bit about the KnC reseller deal was just to explain where the Jupiter is coming from. I don't even know who bought through the reseller link. But it's because of them that we have a pretty awesome prize.

fix poolluck -.-

Super mario goes BLING! suxxer and stimbo appears to have fixed the problem.

not long enough :/

[CYPER]

Aggrophobia, are you mining with 2 Jupiters?

[nwfella]

Thanks, BTC Trinkets! I've added the lapel pins in the first post.

*Any plans on updating bitminter java client to support MrTeal's BFL-based Chilis?

If it takes a while for a fully BFL-compatible firmware to become available, then maybe I should add a workaround for them.

Not a bad idea, quite a few of these puppies out there that I suspect will be getting dumped into the hands of people that would find your client far simpler to get up and running than say bfgminer

True enough. I will have a look at it tomorrow.

Haven't found a single block during the last year of mining. My luck for a block find is long overdue, maybe I'll manage to grab the race prize in the same go, but that'll be stretching it.

With only 20 GH/s, I think I will also never find a block. 

that goes for me too, i had all my set-up stolen and only just got back online with what little iv managed to buy. good luck to those who are in the running for 1st though 

wow, how did you get it stolen?

my home was raided while i was at work, came home and my pc, all my set up, plus aload of other things GONE! so having to start and build it all back up again.

[Flashman]

Fuggers.

Protip, don't put the boxes of all the new stuff on the curb when you replace it. i) it lets them know you've now got new stuff ii) they can pick up the boxes and sell it "new in box" for double the money.

The blocks are just rolling in this morning.

bitmeme's first place was beginning to look secure - that hash had been sitting first for some time. But from out of nowhere comes KPR120, a miner with 30 GH/s hashrate, taking over the lead.

Is it the revenge of the small miners? Can a Butterfly Labs Little Single beat piles of the fastest ASIC devices in the world? Is mining just one big lottery? What's happening!?!?

[Flashman]

Good one KPR!!!

Wait, damn it's all a big lottery? ... I'm out... j/k

But anyway, thanks for sticking a foot in the door for the little guy KPR, you just keep that wedged open for me now you hear?

500MH/s inc,

everyone should be quaking in their boots

[mstang83]

Cheering for the small guys!!! GO GO GO

[DrHaribo]

subseaguru has taken over the lead. An even smaller miner, with just 17 GH/s.

What are the odds?

[MrsDoublehelix]

What are the odds?

None so far, Sir ! I'd like to thank you for the idea to start a mint-race on bitminter. It's a really thrilling game and makes my day. Chapeau Dr. Haribo ! and good luck ppl and miners

[Walter Rothbard]

He's extremely lucky, too - that block came out only 1 minute after the previous block!

We need more blocks like that one 

[Nemo1024]

Working on it. Haven't had a single block find during the whole year, so I am long overdue for a really juicy one. 

[DrHaribo]

subseaguru seems to be sitting fairly securely in first place. We've seen a couple changes in the top ten hashes, but nothing to threaten the first place.

In a couple hours one third of the race is behind us.

Will subseaguru win the race? Place your bets.
