Ore (ORE)

I spent time today going back (for like the 4th time) to @OREsupply

I've always found this to be such a breath of fresh air just because its fun to see something new innovated in the space.

Now there exists all sorts of ORE stats sites that I wasn't aware of previously that really allow you to dive into the numbers. (like https://t.co/mg3ET41MV3 and https://t.co/s4pGAWXFKN )

It seems like the real magic is in earning ORE as cheaply as possible and holding on to it (not refining it) for as long as possible.

The best I've been able to reverse engineer it is to cover all 25 tiles and don't go crazy about the total amount of SOL deployed per round.

There's a fairly consistent rate at which you'll bleed SOL and gain ORE. Unless you get lucky and win solo / Motherlode.

Short of luck, I back tested various stats over various time frames and came up with this little nugget:

If you hold your unrefined ORE for 30-35 days on average you'll be profitable. Anything beyond that increases your profitability.

Of course holding unrefined ORE is the most profitable part of this game, and it only is profitable if others are cashing out or "refining" their ORE - so you don't see a lot of people talking about that. They want you to cash out because it increases the earnings for the people who haven't refined yet.

Any other miners out there want to share their REAL advice on the topic? In a game where giving other players bad advice can increase your profits, I'm curious to hear some other real takes.

For me...it's just a fun little past-time.
