Mine 72 hours.
Win a real miner.
Keep your address mining for 72 tracked hours in a row on a DirectPool Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash pool. One qualifying address, one chance.
Current giveaway: more than 1 MH/s to participate. Prize-upgrade milestones: at least 1 TH/s per address to count toward the 50 miners. These are separate thresholds; extra hashrate does not give extra entries.

The draw
Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 16:30 Paris time
15:30 UTC, 7 November 2026
- Qualified
- On the way
- Mining now
Qualified: addresses entered. On the way: tracked addresses still building 72 hours. Mining now: distinct addresses active on any DirectPool pool.
Bitaxe GT 801, 3.6 TH/s
When 50 distinct addresses each mine at 1 TH/s or more at the same time, the prize becomes the Bitaxe for good.
Only addresses mining at least 1 TH/s count toward the 50-miner milestone. Smaller miners can still enter the current giveaway above 1 MH/s.
More may come as more miners join. Not announced yet.
Every miner on the way
Each tracked address with its real streak toward 72 hours. Addresses are shortened, never shown in full.
The rules
- Mine at more than 1 MH/s on any DirectPool pool: Bitcoin, Bitcoin solo, Bitcoin Cash solo or the Bitcoin Cash shared pool. Only addresses mining at least 1 TH/s count toward the separate 50-miner prize-upgrade milestone.
- Reach 72 tracked hours of mining in a row. A break of up to 30 minutes pauses the count but keeps your streak. A break longer than 30 minutes resets a streak that has not reached 72 hours.
- Once qualified, the address stays entered until the draw, even if it stops mining.
- One entry per address. Hashrate does not weight the draw. The same address on several pools counts once.
- Progress pauses at 1 MH/s or below, or while hashrate cannot be verified. Pool-funded boost workers do not count toward either hashrate threshold.
- Previously credited runs from the pool and boost tracker are retained, so some addresses were already qualified at launch. New time requires observed hashrate above the entry minimum; historical hashrate is not guessed or backfilled. Bitcoin solo is tracked only from Wednesday, 28 October 2026 at 17:47 Paris time, with no credit before that.
- The draw is on Saturday, 7 November 2026 at 16:30 Paris time. The winning address is shown here in shortened form for privacy. Prize delivery details will be shared separately.
Separate from the free hashrate boost draw, which keeps running every 3 days.
Questions
- How do I enter the miner giveaway?
- For the current giveaway, mine at more than 1 MH/s for 72 tracked hours in a row on any DirectPool pool: Bitcoin, Bitcoin solo, Bitcoin Cash solo or Bitcoin Cash shared. No sign-up. Once your address has 72 hours, it stays entered until the draw.
- What if my miner goes offline?
- A break of up to 30 minutes pauses the count: those minutes do not count as mining, but your streak survives. A break longer than 30 minutes resets a streak that has not reached 72 hours yet. An address that already qualified stays entered.
- Does more hashrate give more chances?
- No. Above the current entry minimum of 1 MH/s, every qualifying address has one entry and the same chance. Mining the same address on several pools still gives one entry. The separate 50-miner prize-upgrade milestone counts only addresses mining at 1 TH/s or more.
- When is the draw?
- On 7 November 2026 at 16:30 Paris time (15:30 UTC).
- Which miner is the prize?
- A NerdMiner V2 today. Once 50 different addresses each mine at 1 TH/s or more on DirectPool at the same time, the prize becomes a Bitaxe GT 801 3.6 TH/s, and it stays the Bitaxe even if the count drops later. Smaller miners can still enter the current giveaway at more than 1 MH/s, but do not count toward that milestone.
- Does mining history before the giveaway count?
- Mining time already credited and entries already qualified are retained. After the hashrate thresholds start, new time requires verified hashrate above 1 MH/s, excluding pool-funded boost workers. Earlier hashrate is not guessed or backfilled. Bitcoin solo has no mining-time credit before 28 October 2026, 17:47 Paris time.
