    We moved last year and were able to get AT&T Gigabit Fiber at the new house! I'm happy to be rid of Comcast.

    I spoke with @BWG this morning. He has me slated to replace @Avacado --at least for August.
  4. firedfly
    @Avacado What's your status with the ETF? Were you able to get a card running?
  5. firedfly
    I gave you one! Good luck on joining the club

    Vast.ai is the cheapest I've found. Individuals (or companies) will offer their GPUs to be rented out. Pricing varies somewhat based on who owns the hardware and what hardware you are renting. For the 4x3090 system that I mentioned, it was $2/hr. I plan to make a post in the next few weeks with more details on how to get a Vast.ai instance folding and monitored by HFM. It's not cheap for long term folding, but is quite handy at defeating @BWG and @Bastiaan_NL during the 2 days of the competition

    Time to pay up!
  8. firedfly
    Success! Thanks for the quick turn around @ENTERPRISE.

    It must be cold in Russia this time of year. I rented a 4x3090 system in Russia and the GPUs have stayed about 55C the whole time!

    I set a user status for myself yesterday. Today I tried to clear the status to become status-less again. When I try to save an empty status string, I get an error that the new status must be at least 5 characters long. I'm able to set a new user status successfully--I just can't go back to not having a status. Is there another way to clear the status?

    @tictoc I'm trying to make good on my promise...

    Starts in a little under 3 hours. This link (from the OP) looks correct for the countdown: https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/launch?iso=20210721T21&p0=5527&msg=July+EHW+Foldathon&font=sanserif&csz=1 I can see the confusion on when the comp starts. I want to blame @BWG, but he'd remind me that it's Canada's fault!

    Sounds like I started a few years prior. I don't think GPU folding was a thing then. I think I was folding on Core 2 Duo era hardware. Perhaps before that?

    I'm on my third round of folding 24/7, stopping for a few years and folding again. My first time with dedicated hardware I put up 1000 work units for a hair over 1 million points! Top that!
  15. firedfly
    I'll be passing you today

    A Hardfolding team would be fine with me.
  17. firedfly
    I still need a team

    @BWG may be pulling 34 million PPD right now, but he still can't seem to pass me (and stay ahead). If he could ever fold at full capacity for more than two days at a time, then I might be in trouble! And I still plan to make sure he doesn't win the folding competition next week!
  19. firedfly
    Don't worry, I won't let @BWG win
  20. firedfly
    IN firedfly
  21. firedfly
    Sounds like @damric has learned enough to be a captain. @BWG just volunteered to use team view for everyone on your team!!
  22. firedfly
    I don't know. 17 years doesn't seem like that long!
  23. firedfly
    I'm interested. The Quadro P620 should be good to go. What do you need me to do?
  24. firedfly
    You're getting a bit small in my rear view mirror. Are you still back there? Or am I looking at dust?
  25. firedfly
    It arrived a day early!
