It's Friday and I FINALLY won an #Upendo auction for the #BlockParty we're having on April 5 with nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgtcppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qqs9avl6hmfcqrma3s3haa94c4h436skujtl44qvlht59hwhxksr8ngaflajl

(usually it's been easier/quicker!)

It's gotten competitive, so I did a proxy bid. (OK, I did a few, because even doing a proxy bid is no gurantee of winning a hashrate auction).

That HasH guy has been whoopin' my ass all week. He was the hashrate leader in our last party, btw. See where the auction jumps from 4,600 sats to 10,900 and then I beat him with my 11,000 proxy bid? (That's only $9.20 today).

So, I'm in! I finally beat HasH! 🎉 I also know the closer we get to April 5, the crazier the bidding gets. So if I want my share in the Block Party, I see this as an simple way in. nostr:nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqys8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttjv4kxz7fww3jhsctndpjkgem99eu8j7sqyq7jezkg8zyrx784ncdupq8p76wv8ssjcyymn8jpess7etzulu0lqs07j7q is doing a 21% hashrate match.

I know some solo miners will contribute a little bit of hash, too. It's a collective effort, and I think we'll get there and hit a block someday... The most I've put in was around $48 (and we didn't hit a block, so that's like $48 in lotto tickets).

Funny thing is, I am not a gambler. But I do like doing my part in #Bitcoin mining without having equipment. I still want a nostr:nprofile1qyv8wumn8ghj7urjv4kkjatd9ec8y6tdv9kzumn9wsqzpv0prpvgffk3fwluuwyeedf7sxp6mhny9uny6rl57969xu0qvy6vhuwgqp though 😉
