Huh? I was running Einstein basically all weekend.

I should have said, I stopped requesting work for it!!

I can't see you on the Free-DC stats tables @AusWolf ... Have you allowed the data sharing as I think that's why we've only two team members showing in the Free-DC stats...

There's a setting called "do you allow data to be shared with aggregation sites?" Is that it? If so, I've just enabled it.

I believe that's the one!!

Nice one sir, I'll let you know when we see you in the list

Grew the team by 50% :laugh:

If we can get @Toothless on there as well, doubled the team!!

You guys still crunching or what?

After 2 years of not contributing, I'm back to crunching. The old 6 core Broadwell Xeon is back online, and a newer 5950X should help the numbers tick upward.

Occasionally, as electricity isn't cheap in the UK. Probably about a week every month or so.

Full steam in cold weather. One rig at partial power in warm.

Still going

Trying to 'time' the weather better as been using a bit more electric than I'd like at times, so definitely not at full 100% working but at least one rig and folding on each day from my side

Did a test not so long ago with it, had all machines working and I think the servers too, used about 70kW in a day for that... Definitely couldn't keep that pace going every day that's for damn sure!! Electric was damn cheap that day, so that was the only real reason it all went on!

Yep, sure am. I have a new found interest in crunching again. I just had bladder surgery and had three tumors removed. Turns out they are cancerous and I have Stage 2 bladder cancer. I start chemotherapy in a couple weeks. I never imagined I would end up with cancer. It sure scares the shit out of me. My mom is in remission as she had lung cancer 7 years ago. Keep crunching on and Fuck Cancer!

God speed my friend. As said above, if there's something I can do to help let us know. if it's within my reach I'll see how I can get it done. Treatment is tough but there's hope.

Hi All,

Cheers!

Well @Super Firm Tofu , its amazing to have you here!! I hope that you enjoy the updates and the giveaways as well since if your an active member, we will always try and do something for everyone about... The giveaways are sometimes sad when we don't see people put their names down or there's little interest in them but I feel its for a great cause and everyone is amazing to put a few things towards anyone to help out and even with full systems as well, its just utterly mad that they are snapped up within seconds!!

Look forward to seeing you on the score boards!! Take care and hope you've had a great day so far!! Long may it continue!!

Thanks Phill for the warm welcome and all the shout-outs in the Milestones thread! Hopefully many more to come.

Planning to put some more cores to the tasks shortly, and even adding in a GPU for some folding when I can find a good deal on an Ada card.

Why Ada? Just pop an old midrange Pascal in there and get crackin'! :rockout:

As for me, I'm a secret member here, as I use BOINC for Einstein@Home, which doesn't register as folding or crunching on TPU, but that's fine. :oops:

We do have a TPU team there, though.
