1 billion. WOOT!

[don256us]

We are showing our size. We have managed to hide behind the folks who can and have churned out large numbers of WU's. No judgement just fact. If you have a better take on the fact, post it below. Two things have kept us competitive over the many years. 1) Heavy hitters and 2) Dedicated folders. Both are admirable. At this point you, as the reader, should be asking about what I'm seeing that brings me to this conclusion.

This week we are only chasing EVGA. 2.9 years. Curecoin is avoiding us for now. Good for them. Not bad for us.

Here's where we can see how our team wins. Here are our top 100/200 teammates in the world.

@HayesK #15
@WhitehawkEQ #26
@Holdolin #28
@dfonda #50
@HayesK #66
@folding monkeys #76
@P4EE #97
@Farwalker2u #98

Top 200: @torin3 , @orion456, @don256us and @mongogeek .

Congratulations to our teammates who have reached the top 100/200. Please know that if you aren't in the top 200, we still love you.

This week we do get to welcome a brand new folder to the mix. Please say hello to @Thunder83 . Welcome to the fold. Please know, Thunder83, that if you see anyone post "wtf" here, it means "Way To Fold". In that context, we are NOT haranguing (I'm not sure that this was the proper spelling for the word that I'm thinking but hopefully you all get the point.) you. If you reach a milestone, someone might post WTF! Have fun with that. Unfortunately, the active membership of the team took a slight reduction. we are holding strong at 42 active folders. 42 very strong folders. Average for the 42 is 25.1 million ppd.

One million plus team members:
@JLK03F150 , @tom_ozahoski , @AndrewThomasThomas, @Hitman, @infinitevalence , @KenSavage, @orion456, @Lowryder, @Norcalsteve , @Mindmatter, @jh, @Rezoria, @Rpkole , @aviationfrk and @don256us are all earning 1.4 - 9.6 million ppd.

And that's all I got this week. I need to troubleshoot my main folding rig which I've had to shut down and have an extended time to dedicate in the next few weeks from now as other projects wind down. So that's what
i got planned to help get us back on track. What do you have going on to report here?

Until next time:
Build, Borg, Recruit.

I was able to repair a 2080 ti but i don't have anything to really stress test it with since my gf little core i5 work pc just chokes iteself. also have enough stuff on the way for a 2080 super build just waiting on cases and a couple m.2 drives and power supplies. Gonna try to get all 4 rigs running before the folding competition.

Power Supply Unit? What does a power supply unit have to do with eagles?

It's that thing called a good football team. The opposite of Dallas.

No disrespect though because you're a buckeye.

If you were wondering what a Buckeye is, it's 2 things 1. it's the seed from the Buckeye tree and 2. it's also a peanut butter and chocolate candy.



Here is the seed pod


The pod will dry up and split open

We had a Horse Chestnut tree in the front yard, they looked exactly like Buckeye's. The Lenape native to my area called them Hetuck's. Which means "Buckeye" The funny thing is if I ever saw a Buckeye tree, I would have thought it was a Chestnut. From when I was very little my Dad told us not to eat them. The outer shells had a rougher prickly shell as opposed to Buckeyes. It wasn't much good as opposed to the 2 Pin Oaks. But I was still sad when it died because we hooked our septic to the street and when they dug the ditch they cut too many roots.

Happy Friday everyone! As usual thanks for the update Don, and thanks to all contributing towards the cause. Even if it is just "make big number get bigger" and our competitive spirit pushing thing forward, forward movement is still progress for science.

Ya know, I've been huge fan of the confectionery variant for a long time (maybe too much a fan lol) and never knew why they had that name. TIL!

No no no no no. If you're talking about good football teams, you need to head to the other side of PA Sorry, I was born/raised in Shittsburgh, in the 70's so yep, it's Black 'n Gold in this house. I DO agree though that Dallas could not beat a pee-wee league team.

Anyway, congratz on on the 'tones mates and welcome @Thunder83. Great to have you aboard.

Yeah I have always wanted to see a Steelers-Eagles SB. Unfortunate they had another off year. No disrespect to the Steelers but it was a bye for the Eagles Defense this year when we played them. I have never seen a team have the ball on offense for basically an entire 4th quarter. Also if an Eagles coach goes that many years without getting to a SB they get fired. Part of that is that you can't have this much talent and not get to and win a SB.
