The Reward: Cuzcuz-in-the-Box!
The latest event to RollerCoin, Hide & Shriek, lasts from October 6 to October 9, 2026. It contains 35 levels and requires 224,698,000 points to get the final reward, which is the already powerful miner Cuzcuz-in-the-Box V. Merged up one more step gives the Cuzcuz-in-the-Box VI, which massive stats for the relatively low merging fee.
As you can see, you're currently looking at around 200 RLT to merge it based on the cost of parts as of this writing. While this may seem like a lot, let's look at it comparatively as well by taking a look at the current RollerCoin marketplace offers!
Comparing to the Marketplace Options
When we look at the marketplace, here are the latest offers we see available right now:
So the highest efficiency miner that is available to purchase is around 50 PH/RLT, but you also have to take into consideration the low powers of these on top of it: there's definitely a benefit to having a single 35 EH vs. multiple ~5 EH miners when it comes to the limited space you have in your room. If you still need to see if you even have a good place for it or you want to mess around, the room optimization tool is always open!
The Optimal Event Play
Generally speaking, people recommend buying RLT to get boosted bonuses for the event period and then buying lootboxes to quickly boost your points up. An optimal amount for the Hide & Shriek RollerCoin event is shown below:
Do note that we're talking about using the BTC as well since it's the current RollerCoin discount currency. You may also be wondering why the specific amount of spend was chosen, and it's because you never know what you will get from the lootboxes. In a very bad run, you could get the minimum every single time. It's unlikely but possible. As a result, the above is designed to pretty much guarantee (95%) that you will be able to finish the entire event. All-in, this means that the new event and all of its rewards will run around $380 and 200 RLT or less. We'll use the average run here and state that most people should get back about half of their spend from the event, so that leaves enough RLT for the merge, putting the total cost at $380 for a 53 EH/s miner. Slightly under the 100 PH/s mark, compare this to the marketplace offers that are half as efficient and this makes for a really solid deal for those who need the power!
