I'm not fooling the majority of you. 3 billion will be instantly identifiable. But the other two numbers? Let's dive in.

The team is strong this week. Stronger than we've been for a long time. "<Crowd shouting> How strong is it?" We still have no challengers this week. We will pass EVGA in 1.9 years and Curecoin in 8.8 years. (Ed. That's not a joke. If you get the crowd to ask how it is, you should have a joke.) On the world stage, we are doing very well. Keep in mind, we are #6 in the world. We can't have a long list of teams to conquer when there aren't many teams left to conquer. That's just the simple math of being awesome. So there you have it. Mathematical proof that if you're an active member of the team, you're awesome. The maths don't lie.

T32 in the world's top 100/200:
@HayesK #15
@WhitehawkEQ #26
@Holdolin #43
@HayesK #58

Top 200:
@P4EE, @torin3 , @Farwalker2u , @orion456 , @folding monkeys, @don256us , and @Macaholic.

As already stated, the team is much stronger this week. We are up to 42 active members and we're welcoming @hckeyfan99 to the fold. Average ppd for all active members is also a very strong 27.3 million ppd. This is in large part thanks to @Holdolin , @HayesK , @folding monkeys, @mongogeek , @WhitehawkEQ , @Farwalker2u , @dfonda , @P4EE and @DeputyKovacs . Thank you guys. Our production average has leveled out. We have a steep upwards trending line, a quick plateau and then some sharp blips both up and down. The average of these blips looks to be on target with our plateau. Not sure what's happening there but it's all good.

Top earners for the team:
@tom_ozahoski , @KenSavage, @aviationfrk, @freeagent , @Norcalsteve , @Rpkole and @gulp35 are all earning 1.2 - 9.9 million ppd respectively.

@Raymond_Abbott and @orion456 are earning 12 and 13 million ppd respectively.

@don256us is earning 22.2 million ppd.

@DeputyKovacs and @P4EE are earning 33.2 and 39 million ppd.

@dfonda is earning 49.2 million ppd.

@Farwalker2u is earning 51.4 million ppd.

@WhitehawkEQ is earning 66.8 million ppd.

@mongogeek is earning 177.2 million ppd.

@folding monkeys are earning 196.3 million ppd.

@HayesK is earning 199.2 million ppd.

@Holdolin is earning more than 250.9 million ppd.

These numbers are very impressive. I mean look at it. We have 4 user names earning well over 100 million ppd. We have several more earning well over 50 million ppd. These are the guys who keep us in the top 10 in the world. All points are good points but these are a lot of points.

We have a billionaire milestone this week. Please congratulate @mongogeek who only just joined us and is already earned 3 billion.

@KenSavage just earned 700 million.

@freeagent just earned 30 million.
@freakdiablo just earned 20 million.

@infinitevalence just earned 3 million.

Congratulations on your individual milestones.

A big thank you to all who fold with us as we continue to show the world who we are.

Until next week:
Build, Borg, Recruit.
 
"Cause there just aint many teams left to conquer" @don256us man, those words are powerful.

My own bravo-zulu to all our amazing team members. Not just our power folders, but each of you doing what you can. As don's sig says "it's not how much you fold, but *if* you fold. Keep up the great work all :cheers:

Thanks for the mention.

Unfortunately one of my cards blew up 😭. Any have a cheap or less 🤞GPU that doesn't need external power?

So wait!? I mathematically prove that we are "awesome" and that's what you took away from reading my post? ;)

Thanks bud. Your contribution to the team is great. We enjoy having you back.

Nuts. I truly hate when that happens. I won't jinx myself by saying that it hasn't happened to me in a while.... oh crap. I just jinxed myself. I never seem to learn. I had to stop challenging people too. Every time I do, they beat the snot outta me. Some leassons are harder for me to learn than others.

Well yes, being awesome like that has led to there just not being many teams left to assimilate. Hey, I never said I was right. In fact I think I've said on more than one occasion I just aint right :rofl:
 
I keep tripping the breaker so my output has been inconsistent :( I really need to rewire my basement because my lab needs dedicated power and ideally 240v.
I understand that. Fortunately, my house has 2 x 150 Amp service panels. One for the main floor and one for the basement. They both have openings for more circuits but the one for the basement was nearly empty. Over the years I have added circuits. I had an electrician configure new circuits for the lighting in the theater room and another two for all of the equipment I plan to use. Three circuits in total.

I decided to go with 12 AWG Romex (yellow) and 20 Amp circuits. I had considered 240v for my folding farm but the cost vs savings did not add up and I don't like playing with 240. 120 I'll mess around with all day. 240 holds a level of fear for me. I have re-run 240 for my dryer and oven as needed but I really took my time and great care.

Fair, 240v does not scare me any more than 120v, by which I mean I double check everything and verify that power is off at the panel and the receptical. I have enough gear that running 240v would net me some savings and efficiency while also reducing the number of wires I need to run. Plus the wife wants me to add a L2 charger (if not 2x) to the garage so she does not have to use an extension cord to charge her car.

That's on my agenda for next summer. Nice lil 240v PDU feeding my ever hungry ships. Then just open the basement door when it cools off and let the heat flow into the house instead of out the basement windows hehe.

I am trying to convince the wife to let me change our hot water over to heatpump so I can dump my heat into my water heater and waste cooling into my rack.

A man who understands thermodynamics. Too kool and too right. It's all just a dance of putting the thermal energy where you want it and removing it from where you don't. Good times (y)
 
Santa (Or maybe The Great Pumpkin) sent everyone a nice gift at 9 PM last night.:santa2::santa2:
Ya, i was watching that, as according to EOC my production was dropping off, yet all was showing normal on HFM(for the old clients) and the n ew folding monitor for the v8 clients. I even checked f@h site itself which is where i found the discrepancy in points, then POW mega update hehe. Oh, if y'all ever wanna look at stats right from f@h: https://stats.foldingathome.org/donor is the address.
