Well to say this year has been eventful for me and my projects is an understatement. 

From my charity rapidly expending, to getting into a new relationship and finally back streaming on a semi regular schedule. All positive moves for sure. 

As is customary I will be writing a daily blog so everyone can follow along, there will be prizes, fun, science and heat!

I don't have much to say, the steam is in good standing, holding onto Third place, but it is not without peril, there is a challenger, Bananoco threatens our place, but only time will tell if we can rise to that challenge.

It was only a couple years ago that we were chasing the 10th position and now we stand in 3rd(I like to think second as I don't count the default team).

We all fold for differing reasons, but one thing is shared by us all, and that is the need for MORE POWER! 

Thank you to everyone who has signed up so far please do find attached to this post the list of sign ups, that sheet will get updated sporadically so keep an eye on it. If you feel there is a need for an edit then please do message one of the team. The team this new is filled with a mixture of event team veterans and new faces, but none the less it is thank to these guys that the events can run the way they do, so please make sure that you thank them. Listed in no particular order:

As a community we come from all walks of life, with access to all forms of hardware, from a handful of CPUs to cases jammed with GPUs, but no matter what you have, you are welcome to participate! We are working together, in the trenches as brothers and sisters, fighting to illuminate new knowledge, to further the expanse of human understanding and to help find cures and treatments for conditions once thought hopeless. We are the vanguard of scientific discovery, we stand on the shoulders of giants, and together we can build those giants even higher. 

The details of the event have already been published and can be found below.

But, most importantly, lets have fun, test our metal with the heat and finally, let's science the shit out of this!

Happy Folding,

Spec.
