    No, I've slowed down somewhat today as the weekend is over and Electricity is expensive most of the day again. I suspect you'll be pulling ahead of me weekdays and I'll do a bit of catching up on weekends.

    No, I'm happy where I am but Lucky #7 would be nice but I don't want to force @Alex Atkin UK to have an even more expensive electricity bill. Still, not too shabby for 1.4kW 50-75% of the day

    I know my hardware will never be competitive for the top 20, maybe not even the top 50, so I'm just hoping the ol' "tortoise and hare" gambit pays off. 🤷‍♂️ 
     
    Enterprise hardware running well under its design capacity let's gooooo

    Nice, broke the top100! Not sure if I can stay there because apparently today I had many good WUs but we'll see 🙂

    Too late, I missed your sneak attack and even chucking all the coal on the fire its inevitable over the next few days you're going to overtake me, as its too darn hot with both 4090s running 24/7 and its unlikely I can resist gaming at some point.

    Of course there's an element of WU lottery here, so F@H themselves could throw a spanner in all this, always keeps things interesting.

    I might slip a bit as, of course, I had a dinner meeting this evening and wasn't able to baby sit the Rigs and watch as they started up again at 19:00 EST when the Electricity prices dropped and, wouldn't you know it, I came home to find 3 Rigs with 4 GPUs (all my 3000-series, except for one 3080) stuck at "Failed" which requires a reboot to get rid of. Back up and running again but as it's now the weekend and Electricity rates are at the most affordable all weekend I should be able to make up for lost time.

    oof, from 11th to 14th. i don't think it's a financially sound decison to buy another 4070ti right now so i guess i'll be aiming for top 15 this year instead 🤞

    Nope. I've gone back to Folding at peak efficiency. I'll settle for being in the top 10. Little to no difference in bragging rights between 6th and 10th place. Sort of like the Olympics. After 3rd place the only thing that matters is finishing.
     
    My goal for this event was to hit a Billion points which I will achieve.

    I wasn't sandbagging. I made a 3hr roundtrip drive, on the hopes that the Best Buy app inventory trick was accurate, and it ended up paying off. Finally snagged a FE card I've been trying to get for the last month. Swapped out for another card Friday night.

    Its the weekend so Electricity is at the lowest rate tier so my production might go up a bit 😉

    I have reinforcements on the way, but not arriving until Friday night.  Not sure it's going to be enough for me to keep the 4th spot though...

    Did not expect to wake up to this title when I set up my gaming PC to fold as well.
    I would like to thank Jensen Huang for the shout out! Could not have done it without those expensive heaters

    I feel ya. 33C in the basement here and only going down to 15C overnight so I don’t expect much relief until things shutdown at 07:00 on Monday when the time-of-use rate more than doubles. Still all said and done the hottest GPU is at 77C so still barely within my comfort zone.

    Just keeping Mxy (@Mxyzptlk) honest. I expect to keep it up Sunday while the electricity’s cheap then I’ll be dialling it back down on Monday.
