A plot is 0.0005 ETH and it's yours for 3 days. Your pumpjack goes up with your name on it. Claim it again and it's 3 more days.
Every 30 minutes one staked plot strikes oil. Its owner gets 3% of the pot, and every staked plot touching it gets splashed for 0.5%. So you drill next to people.
When you claim, you can stake a price sign in front of your plot. Anybody can pay that price and the plot is theirs for the days it has left. You keep 95% of it. Holders' plots count twice when the ground picks where to blow.
Day 3 is the boom: a strike every 5 minutes for an hour. On day 7 the plot that struck the most pays its owner everything that's left. Each plot sends 80% to the pot and 20% to buying $OIL and burning it.
