World Community Grid 10th Birthday Challenge -- 16 November - 25 November!

7mm · Nov 13, 2014

So, I'm in too.

Easy Rhino · Nov 13, 2014

I am in for this round!

64K · Nov 13, 2014

I would like to donate a EVGA GTX 680 1006 MHz card to be put in the Grand Prize Crunching Rig or as a prize for the crunchers in the Birthday Challenge. The card was used for about two years and never overclocked. All original packaging and materials will come with it. I will cover shipping but it will have to be for a USA address only. Shipping out of the country is very high.

if you want it in the Grand Prize, PM me and I'll send you my shipping info, although with the value of the Grand Prize in it's current form ($1000+), your 680 would probably serve the TPU team better as a individual prize, better distributing the wealth among the participants.

Oh, and since I haven't actually said it yet, count me in for the prizes also. I'm not lacking in computer hardware, but those $100 prizes sure look good right before Christmas. :fear:

Easy Rhino · Nov 13, 2014

Oh wait, do I have to let people know I am in for the prizes? If so then count me in! I need a new rig! Just check my system specs!!!

That makes sense. I will make it an individual prize then.

Yea, unfortunately every time I think about upgrading it something else in the house needs to be repaired!

ThE_MaD_ShOt · Nov 13, 2014

Awesome donation! :rockout:

dhoshaw · Nov 13, 2014

I'm in. I have my main rig back crunching and have gotten gold in UGM.

I've also cranked up my wife's and the kid's computers.

T-Bob · Nov 13, 2014

I'm in for the prize pool. Whatever I qualify for anyway

stinger608 · Nov 13, 2014

Awesome donation @64K !!!!!

I assume that when someone says "there in for the challenge" it pretty much includes being in for the prize pool :clap:

I generally use actively crunching, forum membership and forum activity as the "in for the challenge" metric.

Example- A forum member that is actively crunching but hasn't logged into TPU over the duration of the challenge is not included on the drawings. Posting on these threads is welcomed but not a requirement.

ChristTheGreat · Nov 13, 2014

you got it

and you guys are awesome! Another nice challenge on it's way!

AlienIsGOD · Nov 13, 2014

i will be bringing the 3570K in for this challenge, hopefully Win 10 doesn't give me any errors

Thanks for the clarification Cap'n

Pandacoder · Nov 13, 2014

I'm in (courtesy of [Ion])?
My WCG name is the same.

(I feel awkward to leave my first forum post at that, so... anyway, both of my computer have been crunching as much as possible (one is my laptop) since two days ago?)

AlienIsGOD · Nov 13, 2014

firing up WCG on the 3570K now, will report any problems (if there is any

)

Nordic · Nov 13, 2014

Ooh. A gtx 680! I want to upgrade from my 750ti.

................goes off searching for ways get more ppd for more crunching karma...

Cool. @[Ion] is like our very own televangelist - but in a good way. Still, if he ever tries to get you all together and serves Koolaid, you might want to pass. (just kidding of course - great work dude. Your enthusiasm really is contagious. Cheers!!! :toast:
