Day One - In the beginning he said, let there be folds, and it was good.

And the first day of the event has officially taken off. 

 

But first, a PSA, due to data corruption these stats run until 0300GMT, 28th of march, so the stats here reflect 27 hours of folding. As for the participation requirements, they will remain as is FOR NOW, but this is under review and after reviewing the first few days a decision will be made and announced on that days blog. Don't forget to follow this blog to keep up to date!

 

Well it can be said that today we are heroes, today we unite with all other folding teams to show the world just how much we are capable of. Pushing the Folding@Home network right to the brink of what it is capable of, breaking past the one exaflop barrier and becoming the fastest computing system in the world by a significant margin, and we are growing. Team LTT makes up almost 25% of the networks production, that, is truly a sight to behold. But I expect we have more to give, I expect team LTT will rise to the challenge like never before. Because that's just who we are! 

 

This is just another PSA for the new guys here, the folding team is a small close knit community, so here's a few things I'd like you all to keep in mind. It doesn't hurt to say thank you, if someone has genuinely helped you out don't forget to drop a reaction on their posts, help others where ever you can and finally we are a team first and always. 

 

It has been some time since I has to write a daily report, so bare with me, sit back and enjoy. 

 

Be proud of what you are a part of on this day, be proud of the fact so many of us, from all teams have rallied when the the call to action came in, be proud that you are doing something that is for the benefit of all! Bask in the glory of the power of the whole Folding Network. This is not an event where it is us vs them, there is only US in these dark times. 

 

In first place we have the king! @Den-Fi with 12.01 million points, he has set himself apart from the pack, the question is, can he manage to keep his throne this time around, In second place we have @ZombieStew training behind the king by 1.6 million points holding onto his position with 10.41 million points, one of the many new names to us here at the LTT folding team, he will be looking to leave his mark with his debut, but the question remains, can they keep pace with the king? In third place we have @miker07 a seasoned veteran of the team looking to show that even with all the new folders, he can shine as bright as ever!  He has a gap of 760 thousand points, taking third place with 8.7 million points. Fourth place is held onto by @Xoggy with 7.2 million points, a name I know well, he is making a splash with some serious production so far, but can he maintain steam. Fifth place is current occupied by @Fapasaurus, I hope his GPUs can move WU as fast as his hands can.. er.. you know, with 6.2 million points he's nothing if not production. 

 

6th place is taken by @BlackAda, another new name who is seeming like a great addition to the team! with 5.6m points hes one to watch for sure, 7th place has @Macaw2000 with 4.9 million points, lots of new faces up top, its nice to see. 8th place is occupied by another veteran, @Favebook with 4.6m points, not far behind him with 4.5m points we have another seasoned named, @Yabdat. The already well known charitable crustacean @Zberg taking the number 10 spot with 4.1m points. He is the gate keeper of the top 10, but will he be W00P W00Ping his way to a nice finish or is he destined to end us being boiled alive, only time will tell!

 

11th place has another well known face, @catawalks, I'm not sure how a feline can operate a folding rig and I hope they keep they fans covered with some good dust filters with all that fur, but 3.9m points is nothing to hiss at! The question is, will the cat manage to be the hunter, or is @GOTSpectrum ready to pounce as he is only a stone-throws behind with 3.8m points. 13th is taken by @Unilevers, the question is can they hand out WUs like they do food products, with 3.7m points its all to play for here! In 14th place we find @ykdave and 'you know dave' with just 100 points behind you could very well well show unilevers just what it takes to cut the mustard. @HybridTI is also eyeing up advancing up the ranks being only 10k behind dave. 

 

During this update the top 10 make up 5.7% of the total, the top 50 can claim 14.3% and the top 100 can be proud with their just over 20% stake.

Day One Stats

 

 

as always:

 

Please remember that this is a friendly event, but we are all folding away for science, AND GLORY! 

 

I'm really impressed with the numbers we are seeing here for all of folding, Thank you to all who are involved and who make this worth while every event!

 

Remember we are a team first and individuals second, so give thanks where thanks is due and hit that reaction button when someone helps you out.

 

Be wary of the minimum participation requirements this year.

 

minimum requirements: 500k points, and 10 days of having activity over the course of our 14 day event.

 

Happy folding,

 

Spec.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all this work you're doing! It's a huge number of participants to keep up with. People like YOU are the reason that these kinds of endeavors work! The rest of us are just riding on your back.

Thanks! I appreciate it, 

 

but don't forget @Metallus97 and @j1philli have both helped with the FAQ and data validation.

 

Plus @leadeater wrote the script that pulls the data from the Stanford servers. I'm just fiddling with a spreadsheet and talking out my arse really!

is there a way to search in the document ?

 

 

 

Should open in Google docs and then just Ctrl+F ?

 

Also can go to Edit -> Find and replace OR Ctr+H for your more advanced finding needs.

 

 

I'm one of the 0 plebs, been flat out with work and so haven't been micro managing the client when it keeps extending the retry

 

Think I lost the WU lottery.

 

Also been doing Rosetta due to CPU WU shortages.

A little frustrating. All my rigs have been sitting idle for 90% of the day. One day i smash 70-80 WU, another day i barely get past 10. The WU are few and far between, even with my little reset client every hour routine. Nobody's fault, obviously, but it could be churning out far more points for the campaign.

Be interesting to see if the LTT server has made any progress given current circumstances.

I have to say, this was one of the hardest first days I've had yet for one of these events... The sheer workload has been mental but I would not change it for the world!

 

Fold on people, lets make it rain WUs! 

hate to say it but looks like in 4-5 days your workload will decrease as there are currently 3157 not producing at all

Well LTT server is there and working, not sure about the color code of the table, dark grey?

 

Every server will help. from my small PC, I see less and less waiting, but not yet 100%
