T-0 Days

Well the time has come, the time to work out if all of your efforts, the tinkering, the overclocking and the system building was worth it, the time where you rigs will be tested, tested with long up-times, blistering heat, number crunching every minute of every day. For this next month they are nothing but slaves to the folding gods, laying down their lives on the line for the betterment of mankind. So, go forth noble machines, and demonstrate just how brilliant you are!  And a final thank

T- 5 days(or round about), Folding month 2018

Just a short update. We are now up to 32 sign ups! We had a WAN show shout out so maybe we can get a few more to come along over the next few days. Guys, if you think someone would like to be involved then spread the word to them! Tell your friends across the forum. Scheduled some downtime for tomorrow then I will be seeing just how far I can push what I have.    This is a repost from early this morning, in the future posts will appear on the blog first and the thread second.

T- 4 days

Well we are starting to heat up with the WAN show shout out there has been an explosion of people signing up, 94 in all as of time of writing! Please remember guys if you are participating them you need to be folding for the Linus Tech Tips team or your points will not be counted. I have seen a couple others points dip the last day or two, I'm guessing you are either experimenting with your overclocks or you have been having some much needed maintenance, either way, I hope it has been helpful.

T- 3 days(or round about), Folding month 2018

Well it is that time again folks. We are now up to 114 sign-ups, damn it is spectacular to see, the only downside is the amount of work I have taken on.  Thanks to Gorgon for helping out to ease some of that! One thing I have to say is once the month is over I really hope to see you guys continuing to fold. We have always punched well above our weight class when it comes to the number of active folders we have compared to the number of points we can churn out on a daily basis. When I first

Day Two - Folding month 2018

Well guys, the second day has passed and oh what a day it has been! The spreadsheet is broken currently and I am single-handedly doing a validation of all entries manually. That is points and work units, for over 220 participants, for 3 days worth of data. It is taking some time, but we will get there! so, DISCLAIMER: I am pretty sure there are some errors in this update, the sheer flood of new applicants overwhelmed the spreadsheet we are using and well it broke... just a little.

Day Twenty-one - Folding Month 2018!

If you guys thought a little stint in the hospital was going to keep me down you're wrong! Time to smash out another update. PS there has been some strange behaviour with the Stanford server this cycle so if your numbers seem of it is not our fault!    Tomerrs is holding onto first my the skin of his teeth with 151million points, The king is looking like he intends to take back his throne by force with 147.7million points, _Rlocke is too looking to be challenging Tomerrs with 130.5mill

Day Twenty-eight - Folding Month 2018

As the days tick down the ranks seem more and more set, unless someone has a supercomputer to throw at it I'm thinking we aren't going to see much change from now, But who knows right?      The overall team has seen 269million points of production over the last 24hours.   Please remember we have minimum participation requirements, these are 100k points, 15WUs, and 15 days of having activity over the course of the whole month.   Also, I just want to add that i

Day Twelve - Folding Month 2018

Last night I spent six hours trying to fix the sheet, for the most part it is fine and dandy but a few users numbers seem off and I can not work out why, when hes back online later I will see if @Gorgon can have a look and maybe he can fix the issue! The following four users have been identified as having under reported figures, @choccobear, @DUW1G1T, @D_Newb and @[REDACTED]. Guys, I'm sorry that I wasn't able to fix your numbers for this update and I am hoping Gorgon and come and find the elusi

Day Three - Folding Month 1018.

I pulled an all-nighter night before last to get the spreadsheet fixed, So last night I crashed and slept like a baby, the spread should be fixed, some of today's points production may seem high for a few people but that was to bring them in line with their real total points. The week column is perfect, thus the most important data is not exactly as needed. The reports should be completely accurate from now on unless mistakes are made. Just as a side note the event members have produced 79% of L

Day Thirteen - Folding Month 2018

Well guys, thanks to Gorgon we can now confirm mall data on the sheet to be valid and the issues resolved! There has been some shifts in ranks due to the correction but I can confirm this should be the last time anything like this occurs as long as the data stays correct from Stanford.    Tomerrs is in first, as per usual with 87.1million points, King Poet in second with 73.2million and _Rlocke is in thirs with 59.5million.

Day Ten - Folding Month 2018

Right guys, After doing yet more tests we have noticed yet more issues, these are being caused by the week one sheet and there is a good chance I will just rebuild the entire thing using our scripts on the historic data we hold, but today is Armistice Day so I need to push this out asap then I can join the family. So pinch of salt to be taken.      We have Tomerrs in first place with 62.8 million, The king is in second with 53.8million, Jakkuh is in third with 39million. _Rlocke i

Day Six - Folding Month 2018

Well, after another all nighter, validating data, sorting out tables and getting ready for automation I'm here. This is just a 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.    Now onto the juicy horse-race
