Bitcoin mining accidentally created the world's largest lottery.
Industrial miners turned it into a business.
Block Party turns it back into a game.

What we learned from Upendo
- More hashrate is better
- Bringing friends to the game is better
We got very close with a 126 Trillion difficulty share.
Party will resume once we have 500 PH/s again, so get in there and give it a kick!

Our world based on Trustless Mining.
Infinite game players select finite players to mine for them in the fiat mines - and fiinite players have finite lifespans.
Bitcoin offers hope, since bitcoin mining offers finite players the option to stay in the game - via mining - even after their expiry date.
This is super interesting territory.

Background on the Upendo block party:
I first saw the idea of a block party on bitcointalk [below]
Willi on bitcointalk organized the party, a bunch of folks sent him bitcoin, and he rented a bunch of hashrate and they all solo mined together - they found several blocks back in the day.
was built to sell hashrate at auction - and so, I figured, let's try a block party auction.
What happened next was interesting
- To start, bids were low (way under the cost of hashrate)
- As hashrate went up, so did the bids
Once the party was mining, bids to join were 3x over the cost of hashrate - totally nuts.
Thus the idea of bonus hashrate...
Putting on my Systems Thinking Hat, I saw there was a feedback loop between bidders and block party size...the more bidders, the more hashrate, which attracted more bidders.
And so, to amplify the feedback loop, the bid amount over the cost of hashrate pays for "bonus" hashrate - extra hashrate that increases the odds for the whole party.
The idea is to leverage the FOMO Energy of block party'ers to biggify the party.
This bonus hashrate feedback loop has played out in every block party since then.
It's like a flywheel. Or maybe a plebwheel?
The block party is a way to grab some hashrate (otherwise pointed to centralized pools) and solo mine with it, as a group.
Next up is to figure out a feedback loop to incentivize people telling friends (and their friends, and their friends) about Upendo 📈
And then we may finally get enough hash to mine a block..
Happy Friday, thanks for reading.

In the future, we will (hopefully) look back on two eras of mining
The old era, when mining was endless competition
The new era, when mining was never ending cooperation
Mining is an competitive arms race.
If there was a way for miners to cooperate, they could all shut off an equal % of ASICs, and earn the same amount of bitcoin with far less cost.
What prevents this from happening?

Block party is up and running

I started the Upendo block party because it should be easy to spend a few sats and try to mine a block.
Why a block party?
B/c mining with other people improves the odds - and you still get the outsize reward incentive of solo mining
Why a block party auction?
Auctions allow early miners to get in for a low bid, and as more people join, higher bids go towards buying more hashrate, improving the odds for the whole party. It's like a flywheel.
How often?
The block party occurs on Saturday every few weeks.
Where do I sign up?
