Kirito said: Congratulations on the top 500 placement. 497 to go!Kirito
Kirito said: Hey folks, can someone help me get the word out. We are now below 2.00 exabytes in total folding power. Can someone send messages like I suggested in the May 31st post? Thank you Kirito
cine_chris said: I don't think these numbers are a cause for alarm, they're still HUGE. Also, the data needs to be analyzed and digested by researchers. Is this the real bottleneck? Remember, F@H got to these levels 'over-night', going from 30,000 in Feb to 400,000 in March. I'm part of the 300,000 that followed. My concern is throwing more GPUs into the fray might not hasten anything, when trained researchers aren't available to analyze & work with the data. The biggest complaint I've seen is slots waiting for WUs. If they can't keep the currently available systems fed, let's give them time to catch up and make good use of people's efforts. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/04/how-the-pandemic-revived-a-distributed-computing-project-and-made-history/
I’ll be giving up my place (currently 15) soon. I plan on scaling back once I reach 100M due to the energy cost of the computers (last month’s bill was 2X normal) and the additional energy consumption when we switch to ‘summertime hvac posture’. I’m going to purchase a wattmeter and continue folding with whichever 1 (or 2) computers show the least consumption but that will certainly drop my average daily points. Have at it 16-19 😊

MightyMayfield said: ryau said: We just hit half a million work units! Awesome job folks! Almost 10 billion points to boot as well! We'll have to come up with a way to keep people interested, though. Looks like our active numbers are dropping off fairly quickly. Stores can provide stability but the majority of our points come from individual donors!I also see secretlab doing some points over there >.>
