Well earlier than normal, so best get on with it Got some testing PCs to build and well that hopefully won't be going out the window later on.... Here we go guys and gals... FAH Pie Stats for the 23rd March 2022.....

Sadly I couldn't see anyone passing any milestones or anything but that's not a bad thing!! Everyone doing ok?? The scores are as always amazing, you guys and gals are amazing, we need a toast!! (Ummm, toast.... yum...... Apologies, I digressed for a second there.....)

Amazing contributions and amazing members, this is why I love this team so much!!

 

[phill]

Apologies good gents and gals, I've been in other threads and grabbing data for todays reports, so here we go Stats for FAH Pie for the 24th March 2022.....

Sadly still no milestones or stoners that I can see which is a shame... I do however, hope that everyone else is doing well and is alright??

It's been a lovely week or so here in the UK, so whilst the solar has been producing, so am I with the folding Thankfully, it's not been boiling hot (for the moment) either which is another great thing about the UK... lol
Everyone doing wonders as always with the contributions, massive congrats to you all and massive thanks for the continued support

Take care everyone, hope to see you back again tomorrow for another update

 

[phill]

Well here we are ladies and gents, we have another update (an early as heck one at that!! ) for FAH Pie Stats for the 25th March 2022.....

Another great day for contributions everyone, it seem though sadly @Jacky_BEL has stopped for the time, so we hope everything is ok with him and there's no problems at all.
Brilliant work everyone, thank you so much for all the support that you give our amazing team!!

Well, best get moving on, things to do so I'll hopefully see you in the Rosetta thread next

I got a letter from the utility company that they are going to exchange the meters to digital ones.
Just as a precaution i stopped folding.
I can do with a little cooler weather also. It is getting warm inside already , this early in the season.

I doubt that it gets more expensive with an electric meter, they just know how much you own them earlier Yes I stopped this season, to expensive for me now.

I began folding when it was cold and electricity was cheaper. Things has changed. I did see a 63 overall position, now I can see it going down, if I look. I just hope that the folding will produce some results to justify the MWh people put into the project out of heating season.

What I meant was that I wanted an orderly shutdown of the PC's by myself instead of the utility abruptly flipping the powerswitch.
I am not on a UPS and don't want to risk any computer problems due to an uncontrolled shutdown.

OK, maybe it’s only me and a few others that hate paying near 0.5 eruo/kWh depending on how then wind is blowing and what kind of agreement you have with your supplier. If you have deep pockets I’m not trying to stop you, just give you a warning since Belgium and the rest of north Europe has a high kWh price atm, but you of course know that.

The 680 was shit a folding btw. The rest were good for the time they were put in use and a some point almost all was running, but that in the good days when I could afford it.

 

[Jacky_BEL]

Prices are nuts , I hope they come down quickly again.
If not , I can make internetcafe@home with networked flightsimulators

Before the miningrush started I had bought a second hand MSi GTX 970 for 100 euro.
Maybe I can sell it with a profit now ?

Well here we are for a slightly later than planned update for FAH Pie Stats for the 26th March 2022.....

Well I think something was going wrong with the Xtreme site yesterday as today I've been unable to get any update whatsoever with the stats, so sadly tomorrows update is going to be pretty much non existent.. I'll try and keep you all posted and update as soon as I can

Just wished to say as always the same, thank you everyone for the massive support and contribution to the team as always. I hope that everyone is doing well and is alright!! I haven't been able to see any milestones today, but if there's any I'll update that as soon as possible Take care everyone and hopefully see you soon!

 

[HammerON]

Thanks for all you do @phill !!!

 

[phill]

Thanks for all you do @phill !!!

Thank you for the mention!! I feel sometimes I don't do enough which is a problem!!

Still, no updates through from the Extreme site, but looking on their news section -

Extreme Linky just in case

So hopefully we'll be back up to scratch for that soon

I hope everyone is doing well and is ok??

 

[windwhirl]

I hope everyone is doing well and is ok?

Just waiting for the cold season to put the heat on this thing

 

[phill]

Well as we mentioned before, there was no results/updates for the FAH Pie Stats for the 27th March 2022 sadly...

 

[phill]

But here we go with some results for the 28th March 2022 for FAH Pie....

And there was a milestone I believe that was passed.....

@phill !! 500,000,000!!
@DoH! !! 7,000,000!!
@MachineLearning !!

Half way to my billion points goal! Hopefully won't take as long as it has to get half way I'll double check the milestones but I don't think I've seen any others moving about.. If there was, I'm very sorry I've missed you so please feel free to post up your totals!! Decided to make sure I had added in a couple that I had noticed but they had already passed the milestone, so if I've not mentioned the guys before, I have now!! Well done @DoH! and @MachineLearning!!!!

As I've got to get tea cooking shortly, this will be a bit of a wham bam update, so hopefully I'll have a bit more time later to make any tweaks or mention any one passing by some more milestones!! Take care everyone!!

 

[phill]

And here we go again for the 29th March 2022 for the FAH Pie stats.....

No one that I could see today for the milestones so we can move on but amazing efforts everyone, great work indeed and massive thanks for your continued support!!

I hope everyone is doing well and is ok!!

 

[phill]

Well here we are again ladies and gents... I hope everyone is doing well and ok?? Here's some stats for our amazing TPU team for the 30th March 2022 for FAH Pie ......

Sadly no milestones just yet everyone but if anyone has some results or points they'd wish to share, grab a screen shot and post it up!! I've noticed that they have stopped doing certificates for points but still have them for the number of work units completed... Seems a little strange and the 'older' site, I can't seem to get that to work when you click on the link, not sure what is going on there......

Apologies for the delay with the updates tonight, been trying to get another system up and running for a few test runs I hope everyone is doing well and is ok?? Look forward to seeing you tomorrow for the next update!!

 

[phill]

Well lets see if I can put the right update in the right thread shall I?? (I think only you might have seen it @HammerON !! )

Stats for the 31st March 2022 for the FAH Pie!!

I've not seen any new reports for milestones today sadly but if I've missed anyone, please let me know!!

Well another great day everyone Well done indeed for the support and contributions to the TPU Team!! Here's hoping that everyone is well and ok more so, but the weather and sun keep up so I can continue to fold as much as possible!!

Take care everyone and massive thanks and respect for all the contributions you give, TPU definitely couldn't do it alone!!

Hope to see you all back again tomorrow for another update

Hi, hello everyone, with the increases in electric bills i'm having to stop folding until i can get a handle on my power-usage around my home. When it becomes feasible i'll begin folding again.
I hope everyone can adjust to these prices and continue folding.
I also hope our government (such as it is) comes to their senses and does something realistic about it...

for the man for letting us know and many thanks for the support up till now

As I've said in many a post about the costs, I don't expect anyone to do this with no cause to think about the electric costs involved, its not cheap. Whenever, however many work units you can manage, its always a pleasure and a show of support in my eyes from anyone in the team to help with TPUs progression
The only reason I can do some or so much at times is down to how good the weather is due to the solar panels I have on the house. Best move I ever made really. Still, whenever you wish to come back, we all look forward to it

 

[phill]

Apologies everyone for the lack of updates, been getting a bit side tracked and getting on with other projects... Still, here we are for the 1st April 2022 for the FAH Pie Stats....

And there we are for another brilliant day of contributions!! Outstanding work everyone!! Great job indeed!!

Won't mess about today, will just get on with the updates and hopefully pop back online later to catch up some more then!! Take care everyone!!

 

[phill]

And here goes for the 2nd April 2022, the FAH Pie Stats here we come!!

And here we are again with another amazing day of contributions from everyone!! Really great work and solid support there guys and gals!! I hope that everyone is doing well and is ok?? Hope to see you back again for another update soon enough!!

 

[phill]

Well here we are for the last update for today everyone, the 3rd April 2022 for FAH Pie Stats....

And another wow day everyone!! I seem to have caught the results a little later than normal on yesterdays stats, 330am to be getting into bed was a little later than I thought but grabbed the details we needed, outstanding as always everyone, really well done!!

Thankfully that's all the updates for the moment, but hopefully rather than waiting 3 days till the next time, I'll get them hopefully done tomorrow instead Take care everyone!!

Same here.
I just received my electric bill with the new tarifs over 5-fold the previous one.
I am also going to stop folding for now.

 

[phill]

Apologies guys and gals for the lack of updates recently been caught up with everything else and been never in a good state to update things at 1 or 2am some mornings, got all the updates coming shortly so hopefully that will be a bit of a better start Will apologise in advance for the 'quick' updates!

Same here.

I was wondering about this and for everyone else who does the folding.....

Rather than cutting off like cold turkey, would there be a happy medium for everyone to get to? I mean run for so many hours a day for a rig or two cards or whatever?

I'm thinking of it two ways; just like myself... So I crunch and fold as and when I can as much as I can when the weather is good as I'm very lucky for the solar panels I have on the house. Some days are better than others and some are down right miserable.... But even without the solar, I'd consider maybe one or two rigs (GPU in each for argument) and run them for the length of one or two work units depending on what you felt like?

Its just a thought really and a bit of a 'selfish' captain thinking of the points for the team in a way... Just wondered how or if people thought of it as an option?

I understand fully though that things are tough and expensive right now and this is why I've asked the question and also wondered about cutting down rather than stopping altogether. I mean we are all in the same boat I think

Peoples thoughts are always welcome here and which is why I will never ask anyone on the team to keep going regardless. If money/hardware is a concern, then I'm not asking for one minute for all of your or any of you to carry on and ignore it.. Gotta make sure it works for you as have said in the past. They don't supply the hardware or electric money. We all have to decide on what we use and how much we use it.

 

[phill]

And as promised, here we go!!

4th April 2022 update for the FAH Pie Stats!!
