Holy cache, Batman! None of those posts about day 4/5 showed up for me before. I think I might be back in this thing, boyz!
@VirMach my apologies, I didn't think there was a second layer to day 4/5 - I thought it was just one or the other. Your perpetual overengineering of deals is appreciated.
@VirMach said: We pay a lot for the network with FLEX. It's the datacenter's blend. Previously when we were with Dedipath, they mixed in a single carrier into it to save money. I haven't really looked into it but I assume they're either expensive because of a combination of (1) price-gouging, and (2) actually putting in more expensive carriers into their blend.
I had a bunch of VMs in Dallas when you were with FLEXENTIAL and I remembered all the issues there. That is the reason I never did much in Atlanta because they were also FLEXENTIAL. I just have a small one in Atlanta that I don't use very much. Recently my Miami started having an issue with it's HE IPv6 tunnel so I am looking for a SE US / Central America replacement. Now with both you and @Kris saying their network is good I can move my stuff over from Miami and stop worrying about the issues HE seems to have with Quadranet.

I have noticed the He Quadranet thing lately as well. Not sure it is not intentional considering the rumblings over the years.
It's been incredibly stable blend and Arelion + Comcast + peering Comcast has seems very impressive in this location. I do a lot of network monitoring due to some fintech clients we have, so we need to show them from 4-5 locations things are 'OK' sometimes.
@VirMach - wow, you certainly do like numbers. You are my Neki terd
I hope others appreciate what you are doing even if they don't understand it
Suppose the best (for me) would be to take the upgrade and pay the higher rates (in 2 years) so lets go for -
7168MB RAM, 2 IPv4, 36352GB Bandwidth, 2 CPU, 85GB Disk for $37.76 per 2 years. Thank you.

Not sure if I bought the same candle again, or another night's candle. Will figure out when VirMach rolls through.
Haha I was wondering the same thing! I think Candle #4 is active even though it's showing up as Candle #3 because @VirMach definitely changed it to OOS several hours ago.> @msatt said:

Is it currently day 6 or day 7 for dealz? As far as I can tell, even forcing cache refresh and adding a junk variable, the candle page is showing the current candle as Dec 30 day 6.

It shows 6 but it should be day 7 since Jan 1st is the last day [#8].

Duplicate service, half price on recurring. (Not charged for first 2 years of duplicate.)
This means 1x $18.88 service turns into 2x $9.44 services.

We're going by the traditional "days" roughly (or trying to) for Hannukah, which is from sundown. Therefore last day ends up kind of being end of January 1st into January 2nd.

Candle 7 is live. This one requires participation if you want a mystery.
Is it possible to elaborate on "participation" without giving it away? You're not going to show up at my door and thumb-wrestle me for additional disk allocation or ask me to go on a scavenger hunt or something, right? I'm not up for another round of code breaking though I might be up for thumb wrestling .... how tall are you? Yuge hands?

Confirming you want to participate and understand the risks, posting your order number here to maybe get double bandwidth, maybe something a lot worse or a lot better. I'd recommend waiting to hear what it is before posting your order number though.
You know what, for this one I'm just going to reveal the mystery ahead of time. Since it already involves risk and you still won't know what you're really getting, just so we're on the same page here. This is our version of a real Mystery Box this year. The one that upset some people last time.
I think @Kris is the only one that ordered and based on what I've learned I think he'll be okay with taking the risk. This way people can also post early and get their mysteries throughout the day and we just don't get a bunch of mass posts at the end. Otherwise I really don't want people to order and then feel like they were forced into rolling.
Edit - This mystery is being modified to improve it. Check below for updated post/version.
You will be provided an opportunity to re-roll your plan if desired (optional.) This is optional because it's possible you could end up with a smaller plan. This will result in a termination and re-creation. It can re-roll into any of the 9 different Christmas deals, with lower odds for larger plans. From 384MB to 5GB plans, with odds respectively being: 20%, 20%, 20%, 10%, 10%, 10%, 5%, 5%. Everyone will be asked to pick a number between 1 and 20, which each represent a 5% portion of the above (so 20%, four numbers, 10%, two numbers, 5% one number.) Random dice rolls determine which plan they represent. 20% chance it stays the same, 40% chance it's lower, 40% chance it's higher.
I guess the only problem with rolling early is the way it's set up, but I'll figure something out that translates to the same results. One moment.
Okay here's how it'll work for early rolls. Instead of picking a number, you get a wheel spin. Otherwise if it's mapped to numbers then we'd have to keep shuffling them and it won't work. Your decision if you want to wait until the end and pick a number instead.
The wheel will look like this:
I just noticed something though after I looked at it on a wheel, the odds are kind of not how they were intended. Let me see if I can improve this mystery...

1 push-up = $1 off from undiscounted price, up to $24.
How about one hand and one finger push-ups?
I assume this is a hypothetical "What if" question. In no universe am I doing one finger push-ups.
@VirMach said: I guess the only problem with rolling early is the way it's set up, but I'll figure something out that translates to the same results. One moment.
I have ordered one and my order number is: 7376288853 . I'm okay being first and figure we'll work something out if it turns out I get screwed by the process instead of just poor luck. I am a good sport.
EDIT: Ah, a wheel spin works.
EDIT2: I'm not trying to steal Kris' spot. Just figured someone had to go first.

Pretty sure they are still going (in the UK).
Thank you @Virmach - very efficient, I can see new config in panel. Had a very rough night, but this makes me happier.
You were right, I stand corrected.

Day 6 has been placed out of stock.

Candle 7 is live. This one requires participation if you want a mystery.
Does "handing our last dollars to you" count as participation?
This is an interesting mix of excited and worried.

You'll need to do push-ups obv
No hostname left!
1:1 push-ups to addtional cores? Might be able to make it worth it....
1 push-up = $1 off from undiscounted price, up to $24.
Undiscounted price is $32.40/year for 1GB RAM and 10GB storage.
