Despite the fact that I could probably count active folders who are also active forumites on two hands, we're overdue a new one of these. We still have a pretty potent little team despite lack of engagement by the contributors, and are looking at making up 4-5 places in rest of 2023, which is amazing frankly! I will be looking to break into the top 30 producers and add in excess of 1.5 billion points a month to my total for as long as I can stomach the costs, although the requirement for a wedge of spending money for a luxury holiday I have booked at the start of August might hamper that a touch! Anyone got any folding plans, positive or negative for this year?
Steady as she goes for me ... I will gradually swap out the older GPUs for RTX 4070Ti's (dependent on price). In October, my two year fixed energy price agreement will come to an end (fortunately, I've managed to miss the price hikes everyone else has been stuck with) - so I'll have to review what the impact of that will be ... hopefully the energy prices will have come down by then(!)
Yeah, March is my first price-hiked month following a couple of very (relatively) inexpensive years, so let's see how we go!
I'd love to get back into it but no funds for GPU's & these silly elec prices. Shame there's no real CPU work loads as I've access to a pool of cores.
Just put another 100million (well, 300k short currently) on the board this year bringing the total up to 294M. Will probably stop folding shortly again for a period. Since the office opened again I've toying with the idea of getting a small AMD NUC like PC. The 680M GPU apparently can put out 300K PPD.
Back for a bit Surprised how I was still in the top 50. Some big numbers to go to get anywhere near the top
So I've managed to jump past the 600 & 700 Mill mark in a sprint and will now be back to plodding along. We have some old Tower Servers at work so I'm just collecting the parts to enable it to provide GPU power. And then I'll be back with some cards 24/7 folding 2X2060's at first but the board can take 4x16 lanes.. Will also be sorting myself a work desktop from all the spares I have and will likely dip back into the bit-tech Market place for another GPU for that too.
@Votick - I saw your sprint - you had some very nice points there for a brief spell I recently overtook 'PS3EdOlkkola' (on the 'all users' board) - I thought that would be years away. I should also overtake 'Intel Diamond' in the next week or so ...
2,000,000,000 3 months till clanseven and 5 months till madmatt1980... Votick will catch me in 3.6 years apparently. See how long I can keep churning out for.
Hit the team's top 50. Still slogging away although as it's a bit warmer, the output has dropped a bit.
