We might actually do this!

Update:

We have broken the back of it ...

Pre-push: 30-50 blocks/day
First 24 Hours of push: 350 blocks found
Second 24 hours: 500 blocks found
Last 24 hours: 480 blocks found

We are in touching distance, in the next few hours we should pass block 144,000 and be on the home straight!

Special mention to tdcooper, 24hraltrade and thrassos for ploughing in huge amounts of hash over the last day or so ... I tip my hat to each and everyone of you! That said there are huge amounts of small to mid-size miners who have swarmed to help and that combined hash is also making a huge difference ... I said before every hash helps and this is proving to be the case, your contribution hasn't gone unnoticed and is really appreciated, the call went out for help and the response has been fantastic.

Current Block: 143,940

I think we can also move to a new counter, at current rates;

Block 145k Estimate: 53 Hours

P.S. Footnote on Nicehash, a couple of people mentioned their orders had idled, I think this is a weekend phenomenon where an increase in orders spikes the rental price. This can leave you with an order 'on pause' until the price comes back down. I confess I logged in today and found my orders were on hold ... increasing the price now to get them back up and running ;-)
