Here you are folks, day three and it seems some of our folders have hit their stride, The king is looking mighty comfortable right about now... Maybe... Too comfortable...
First comes the PSA the event has now switched over to BST, meaning updates should be an hour earlier than before! This dataset covers 0000GMT-0000BST(GMT+1) meaning that it covers 23 hours of folding. As of right now the participation requirements are NOT changing, this is due to the fact that most people who are trying to fold are managing to get one WU per day. We will continue to monitor the situation and may adjust accordingly.
Today's drink is a spiced Gin and Tonic!
The heroes of LTT are steaming ahead at full bore, pushing their rigs, and their power meters to the max. It is a beautiful sight to behold, thousands of people all working together on the same potentially world saving project. As we push harder, and the unending march of scientific progress increases pace, we can stand by, with pride, that we, together with all other teams are working on a solution. For only in times of strife do we see the best of humanity. If any one of us can take something away from these dark and scary times, let it be that, despite the fear, and despite the isolation, kindness has grown. The warming light of love has never beamed brighter than in these hard times.
In first we have The king, @Den-Fi with 44.83 million points, he seems to be picking up the pace with his production looking nice over the last 23 hours, the question stands, will it be enough to combat the number of people who has rallied the troops of cloud computing to their cause, only time will tell. In second place we have the newcomer, the challenger, @ZombieStew, but with only 29.38 million points, it has yet to be seen is the crown can be dethroned by the rebel. In third place we have a well known face around these parts, @miker07 is looking more than comfortable, with 28.94 million points, he is looking ahead. Going from his production it seems as if the veteran is looking to take the silver spot. Forth place is held by @n0xlf with 20.1 million points, he is looking nice and comfortable in that spot, his production is enough to keep him afloat if all stays well, but for anyone who has followed this event before, anything can happen in the next two weeks. Fifth place is occupied by @Xoggy, with 19.7 million points he has a good 5 million points lead over @Fapasaurus, who is proving his is not only good with his hands, but also with his computers. 7th place is taken by @BlackAda with 13.3 million points, the new face is looking pretty fly! 8th place has our very own @Favebook, A well known guy with high aspirations, with 12.8m points and a decent production to match, it will be interesting to see if he has anything left in his tank to push even higher. Looking to his rear we have @Yabdat, who appears to have had some issues bagging only 3.4 million points this update bringing his total to 11.9m. @Unilevers finds himself the gatekeeper of the top 10, with 11.7m points, hot on his heels is @LAR_Systems with 11.4 million points he will be trying his best to push the rigs under his control to see if he can take 10th from the gatekeeper. 12th place is taken by @catawalks with 11.1 million, @HybridTI is not too far behind with 10.7 million, but lacking in the production needed to overtake for the time being. 14th place is taken by @ykdave, with 10.4m points he will be looking into his rear-view mirror in fear as the gap is so slim with the @leadeater CPU army only 100k behind.
We have seen some serious power thrown around here, the king is chomping at the bit thinking about another golden position to tell his grandchildren about some day, Unilevers has the production needed to take them to greater heights, but will it all fizzle out? Looking down the stack we see some power finally being brought online, @Dalmahr, @babbler, @Drhomie, @ericf are just some of the interesting ones to watch over the coming days.
