Okay. Going to give this a try. I'll start doing these Thursday nights. If you are accustom to reading the updates on Friday morning, they will already be here ready for you to read. Quick explanation: The firewall device that my work uses is SonicWALL. SonicWALL decided to list OC.com as "Games". My work place will not allow any site listed as "Games" through.

As they say in the military: It is what it is. (Read: Suck it up.) So that's what we'll do for now.

The team is looking really strong. I mean... REALLY STRONG. (I feel that I have to shout to highlight how strong we are.) We have a team ppd of... Do you know it already?... 1.4... You know what I'm gonna write. ... ... .. BILLION!!! WOOT WOOT! That's per day! With less than 50 active members too. 1.4 billion points per day (ppd). As such, we have closed the gap between us and EVGA to 1.5 years. The gap between us and Curecoin is down to 13 years. Keep in mind that Curecoin was a bit coin/F@H team. They produced a bonkers amount of points and anyone who knows me knows that I don't throw words like bonkers around very much but they were ******* bonkers. (hehehe)

World top 100/200:
@HayesK #15
@WhitehawkEQ #26
@Holdolin #28
@dfonda #51
@HayesK #64 (If you guys are tired of seeing this name here repeatedly, and no one is, then you gotta bump out his old user names. HayesK's production was/is bonkers too.)
@folding_monkeys #87
@P4EE #99

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

We do have a dip in our daily graph but the graph itself is rising sharply. Production is good. The number of active folders, however, has dropped by two. We have 46 active members this week from last. Okay. Let's get to the individual production (not milestones) and you'll see how we are doing so well against much larger teams.

@tom_ozahoski , @Lowryder, @infinitevalence , @KenSavage, @Mindmatter, @Norcalsteve , @Rezoria, @[EsMd]Slayer, @Rpkole , @aviationfrk and @don256us are earning from 1.7 - 9.5 million ppd.

@squads, @Raymond_Abbott, @orion456 , @gulp35 , @Grub and @harlam357 are earning from 10.2 - 16.6 million ppd.

@P4EE is earning 37.8 million ppd.

@Farwalker2u and @DeputyKovacs are earning 47.3 and 48.4 million ppd respectively.

@dfonda and @WhitehawkEQ are earning 80.9 and 88 million ppd.

@folding_monkeys are earning 194.1 million ppd.
@mongogeek is earning 237.3 million ppd.
@HayesK is earning 241 million ppd.
@Holdolin is earning a staggering 251.9 million ppd.

Looking above, you can see that we gernerate a lot of science for the sake of... science. Great job guys.


Individually we have some really nice milestones too.
Please congratulate @Raymond_Abbott on earning 3 billion.

@[EsMd]Slayer just earned 400 million.

@infinitevalence just earned 90 million. First 100 million coming soon (to a theater near you).
@Rezoria just earned 80 million and it looks like I missed them joining us last week. :welcome:

@boofert also joined us last week and has just earned 2 million. Thank you guys for joining the team.

Okay. Two things before I sign off. 1) Any missed milestones from last week, please post them below. We value them all and shouldn't be forgotten just because I couldn't get myself to write an update. 2) Writing this at my home computer is more difficult than it should be. Too many distractions. If I see an error, I'll try to fix them on my phone. I think I can edit on my phone but like hell if I'm going to write this on my phone. Pixel 8 is great and all but fugget about it. BTW. Fugget About it is a really bad (as in you might laugh then feel bad that you did) show on Prime. If you have the time and want to punish yourself, check it out. It really is bad.

Okay. I've drug this out long enough.

Until next week:
Build, Borg, Recrute.

P.S. For those who know how to write, you can tell me how often I mis-use the colon :)). Post below and I'll block..... learn something. Yeah. Learn something. ED wouldn't let me ban anyone anyway so... good thing I wasn't presenting an empty threat. Phew. Issue avoided.

you gotta be very careful you don't misuse the colon too many times lol but does anyone use the 8.3 client? I just started up my rigs now that's it's cold enough and I went straight back to v7.

I'm on 8.3 on one box and 8.4 on Linux.

I'm getting slightly better numbers on Linux with 8.4 but only 0x24 runs, 23 and 22 just fail on Linux.

2 of my ships are runnin the v8 client. Seems to work ok with the exception I keep looking the remote control ability. Going to revert them to V7 when i put the whole fleet on the same OS.
 
I looked at V8 when it came out, have not used it but looked at all features and did not like it and stayed with V7.
 
I downloaded the latest version without really paying attention, installed it and was greeted with a login page and thought wtf is this then I went back and grabbed v7.
 
Something I did not know till today, I just looked at the install instructions for 8.3 and saw that you need to create a Folding account, OH HE(double tooth picks) I ain't doing that, I've got enough trouble dealing with the accounts I have as it is :rofl:.

Exactly. I did it for the purpose of testing, but I fully expect you're response to be the most common one. Crap like this is why there are many of us that have been asking to just port the damn thing to BOINC for years. All the infrastructure is already there and working just fine.
 
I tossed 8.3 on my laptop when I was shooting to hit the top 100 on the team page and was very surprised on the first start-up hahaha. Logged in fine as I seem to have already made a login for the site so whatever I guess.

I like the sleekness of it (night mode HELLO?!), and it seems to handle multiple cores running better (I had the gpu+6 CPU cores running on the lappy) or at least displays and sets them up FAR easier than v7, but I miss the extra stats from v7. :/ I don't really mind the new client but I love data so if they can make it display similar stats/data as v7 I'll switch clients but as it stands I'll probly only switch if forced to.
