Okay. There's been a lot of discussion about the big race starting Monday Wednesday. See here for the countdown. The race is for total team points against our friends at [H]ardOCP, TAAT (AnandTech), EVGA and ExtremeHW. The official start time is 24 Jan 24 7AM eastern time 4AM Pacific time. The race is one week and will end at 6:59AM eastern the next Monday Wednesday. (Midnight UTC time if you care to know why the odd start/stop times.) Fold as much as you can fold for Team 32. Just go all out as hard as you can for a week. Anything and everything will help big or small. For example, I don't do too bad day to day but my ramp up total will only be a small amount. It would be nice if I could raise my highs from 23 million to 24 million but I will struggle to do that. If you only contribute a few 100k, that would work too. 1 Million. Great. Whatever you got, we can use it. If you got hoards of GPUs that you can spin up, that will grab headlines but you don't have to be that guy to assist.
Okay. We've set the stage. Give it what you got and lets get 1st place.
If you are new to folding, maybe helping us out in the race, make sure you get the passkey for you bonus after 10 WU's (Work Units). Click here to get yours.
Questions about installing, configuring, passkeys, team number (32), etc. , ask them. We'll help. That's what a team does and we do that well.
Okay. I've stalled enough. let's get to the weekly update.
We are still #8 but we are also still being chased by AnandTech. They have been ramping up for the race and it shows. They too are in it to win it. They are set to overtake us in 8.8 years. We are set to overtake Hardware.no in 1.2 months, NVIDIA in 5.6 months and EVGA in 6.9 years. At the current rate, we will make it to #5 in the world before being brought down to #6. We're looking at long term gains and as such, things will change to make this go better or worse. We'll just keep doing our thing as best we can and the reset will play out before our eyes.
Overclockers.com - 765.5 million ppd - 61 active members. (Thanks to our ramp up for the race.)
TAAT (AnandTech) - 818.7 million ppd - 77 active members. (Also thanks to thier ramp up for the race.)
Hardware.no ------- 471.7 million ppd - 73 active members.
NVIDIA ------------- 66.8 million ppd -- 21 active members.
EVGA --------------- 576.9 million ppd - 93 active members. (Again, ramping up for the race.)
So while I'm not intending to speak about the race this far down, the race has it's ripple effects that are all good for the science of it all.
The team has an outstanding 61 active members at the time of this writing. That's a very nice number for us. Due to the excitement of a race, we have a number of folks who have jumped back in to help out. Greatly appreciated. We also have one new member this week. Sultan_Tariq has joined us. I looked it up and it is the name of the Sultan of Oman. I doubt that the Sultan himself has joined but we appreciate the assist.
Top... wait for it. The top.... 30! are all earning 1 million ppd or more. I think this is a record for us.
Top 13 are all earning 10 million ppd or more. I think that htis too is a record for us.
Top 6 are earning 20 million ppd or more.
Top 5 are earning 30 million ppd or more.
Top 4 are earning 40 million ppd or more.
Top 3 are earning 60 million ppd or more. I don't need to list names from this point on. We all know who these heroes are.
Top 2 are earning nearly 190 million ppd or more.
Top 1 is earning almost 270 million ppd.
Jumping ahead to individual milestones:
@DeputyKovacs has earned 300 million.
@Grub has earned 200 million.
@Woomack has earned 80 million.
moz_21 has earned 70 million.
@Railgun has earned 60 million.
Dippyskoodlez has earned 30 million.
langer1972 has earned his FIRST 100 MILLION! WOOT!
Mario1 has earned 8 million.
Congratulations on your well earned milestones.
If you're here for the race,
. We hope you stay but if not, I offer an early "Thank you" for helping us out.
This race is a bit of fun and excitement as we push on and try to show these other teams who we are. I hope that you enjoy it, are excited by it and... yeah.... That can be enough. Have fun and fold on.
