Day Zero - It Begins

GOTSpectrum

Well guys, 

 

It has been hell here are LTT folding HQ, also known as my bedroom, but we have made it, with 8200, mostly verified sign ups, this is just crazy.

 

The questions stand, will the old king @Den-Fi retake his throne, Will our venerable team leader manage to keep his respectable positions of the days of old, who will be making a name for themselves from the new comers! Only time will tell as once again we are here. But this is an event unlike any other, we fold united with every team, every folder, for the common goal of helping to defeat the current health crisis causing virus, COVID-19. We will stand together, united, strong proud! We have the power to change the world, and I am so proud to saw that team LTT has heard the call to arms, we saw the beacons lit, and we responded, in force. 

 

this is a short post because its late AF! Btw for anyone who have received a message from me you have until 2200GMT, in approx 6.5 hours to respond and have any issues resolved.

 

Please find the list attached here, look upon it and smile, for today, we are heroes!

 

Day Zero list.

My money is on @Gorgon. His seems to have better success at WUs than I do.

Agreed. He's currently outperforming even the massive Anonymous default username which is at 8m week average PPD. 

 

Personally I'm not going to be mentally as competitive simply because I have less control over how much I can actually pump out, though I know I'd be breaking 2.5m PPD easy (since recently all three of my cards got WU's simultaneously for the first time in... ever)

I'm not sure if he's even signed up. I saw a reply from @Gorgon to someone else that missed the signup deadline, and it didn't sound like he was signed up. Unless I'm missing something, I didn't find him on the list either. With all the new users, I'm shooting for at least top 10, maybe top 5.

An to think he hasn't even swapped to his battle avatar!

That would be quite the trick seeing as I'm not signed up. I feared I would be really tied up at work with the nature of the current emergency and was for a couple of weeks getting things ready but since then things have slowed down massively and there is a change freeze in-place so project work has pretty much ground to a halt and most operations as well.

 

I decided to not participate anyway as I'm focusing on my duties as a Beta tester and providing regular reports to the researchers so Work Units can quickly transition out of Beta and to the general population. This gives me a bit of an un-fair advantage in some ways as with some recent changes I've been getting fed Beta WUs non-stop.

 

The good news is that there are a ton of new CPU and GPU Work Units being prepared and at least 2 of the new massive Work Servers close to being in production with a few smaller ones popping up so I'm hoping things will improve so we can fully utilize all this contributed power.

RIP, I didn't even notice with all these sign ups... Well... Long live the king? @Den-Fi you're back in the fight!

We'll see, I've been doing 20 hour days, so I can't stay totally on top of it.

I taught the significant other how to monitor it, so she might.

Interesting...

 

I just realised very few of the new folders will understand why you are the king lol...

@GOTSpectrum I'd like to see the points total as a column too, since that's needed data anyway to do the ranks.  Good job getting this whole thing wrangled together!

It was no easy task in 20-30% the time we usually take for an event and its still a little rough.

 

The points will be shown on actual day events like it has been on every other event so far. 

 

Don't worry, relax, the data will flow! 

 

Once again I wanna thank @j1philli and @Metallus97 for really pulling together with data handling and the FAQ.

 

And @leadeater for smashing out a script that seriously helps reduce the work load!

I don't know if I just can't see it (or overlooked it, knowing my luck), but will there be a way to set the work server to be the one set up by LMG? Or will it just throw out WU to any F@H client anywhere?

Hmmmmmm. Maybe if we continue to do these challenges we should break things down into "leagues" or "conferences". Separate people into 3 groups.... those running professional hardware like Epyc or Xeon CPUs, Quadro GPUs, and mining farms; HEDT hardware like Threadripper and Titan cards; and people running consumer grade hardware. That would make it so you could "compete" against someone else with more similar resources.

Honestly the ones with the highest PPD are the ones hoarding gaming GPUs with multiple systems not the server guys, and they don't mine.
