Feb Avalon6 contest starts!

[fr4nkthetank]

18 Minutes to kickoff

i have my fingers crossed. but none of my miners have ever found a block.. i could really use a current gen miner..

well I really wish you the best of luck.


AND IT IS ON, GENTLEMEN, START YOUR MINERS.  (ok ok they were already started)

haha me too as I am running a load of old S1's that I could do with retiring.

Also those renting hash don't forget the upper limit rule:

Your 'Workers'->'Shift Graph' must show an average of 300GHs or more - and less than 250THs - on the red average line - for the sum of all your miners.

Good luck to all

I resuscitated an old friend for the Avalon contest:




Any other original Avalons in the hunt for the 6?

[philipma1957]

I am renting about 100th and my 2 ½ avalon6's are here



philipma1957   71.53THs


this puts me in the middle of the pack


   1,167.86THs
   740.65THs
   705.86THs
   545.38THs
   528.34THs

   373.65THs
   361.78THs
   344.92THs
   322.41THs
   321.53THs
   278.60THs
   254.90THs
   250.76THs  >  all of these may be too high  they combine to 8792 th  the pool is 18,883 

lazy math is 10,000 th is good to go.   you can max at say 240 th  so with a careful rental  you have a 240/10000 or  a 2.4% shot with a 240 th rental

NiceHash says 3 confirms before pending Bitcoin becomes available for me to use. How long will that take?

after the first one, about 17 minutes.    that first one can be a wait though.

LOOOOL....go ahead, rent all you want, fact is, it really doesn't matter what you calculate your odds to be. Lady Luck hands it out in very strange ways. Sooo, Good Luck to All and all the spent BTC on rentals will surely be accepted with good intent and well wishes.

"Comon, Daddy needs a kiss.... ". Just kidding folks. Can't believe we haven't hit yet.

Well, at current rental rates one is likely to get the money back anyway. Possibly profit, so it kinda makes sense.

I guess this is what I don't understand. You need BTC to rent. If you are limited by the amount of BTC you have, then it limits the amount you can rent. It brings to mind the saying, "You gotta have money to make money." So, what if you are 'old', Daddy's money went to feed you, you spent your money on raising your children, and, low and behold, you go into debt to make sure your kids have the best, & there is none left to play with. How do I rent more hash without the funds? And don't tell me American Express!!

Horrible, vicious, cycle, huh? The only ones that made out are the young ones (life noobs) that don't give a crap about expenses to begin with. Life sux!!

If you want to gamble you need to have money, that's exactly what they are doing gambling. You could also be an early adopter that has plenty of BTC to do whatever you would like with.

Oh...I was a VERY early adopter, just never lucky enough to hit that magic block. Even tho, I have been mining since 2010, I could never hit the one needed to keep me on top. And...at this stage...you only need one to keep you in the top half of the pool. I could be wrong there...but not far off, I think. If it were up to me, and as long as the electric bill got paid, a few $dollars in my pocket would make my day. "Comon, Daddy needs a kiss from....." "And an Avalon too."

LOL

lazy math is 10,000 th is good to go.   you can max at say 240 th  so with a careful rental  you have a 240/10000 or  a 2.4% shot with a 240 th rental

Actually my understanding of the contest is it's judged off the average hash rate or the "red line" on the hash rate chart.  So someone could in fact use 1000Th for 1/4 of the 5nd time and still qualify for the contest.

Pointed my S3+ solo lottery machine here for the Avalon contest, too much fun to pass up on. 

Good luck.

and do zero for the other 3/4 of 5Nd.   or go xtream and 10,000Th for 1/40 of 5Nd, and zero at 39/40th of 5Nd.   that might boost up your odds when it matters most.   i would avoid trying too hard though, luck might kick you in the rear.  

[sorry2xs]

the cost of the equipment rental maybe more than the cost of a new avalon
