Countdown to Event Start

Countdown to Event End

 

ATTENTION Extreme Team Folding Participants: Please make sure you do not fold anything under your ETF GPU Passkey except for the GPU you are participating in the event with. You need to use a 2nd passkey to fold anything else in this event.

 

In the spirit of folding for the cause and good old friendly competition between members, we are hosting another folding competition. For more details please see below.

 

How to participate:

During the competition you must be folding for Team 239902
You must post in this thread with "IN" followed by your folding username.

Prizes:

• 1x $25 for someone with 25 WU's or more during the competition donated by @Bastiaan_NL

   

Folding Time Prizes:

TBD

Excluded from Prizes:

BWG
 

All "Folding Time" prizes will require your username/passkey to be given to the donator, this will not give them any of your personal information, it just let's them be able to contribute full points to your username.  Passkeys need at least 10 full Work Units to start getting the full Quick Return Bonus.  Alternatively, you could setup another passkey for your Folding@Home username with a different email address and fold your first 10 units on that.  This would still put the points towards your username, but they would also be tracked by a different passkey.

Please note all winners must claim within 30 days from announcement of the winners.

Good luck to all!

I'll try to get the cloud GPU rental guide up before this starts.  That way we can all beat @BWG!!!

If I stop liking your posts, you should remain quiet, at least  

 

I'll try not to forget to do that next month, but I've already blown it for this month.

Thanks @tictoc!

 

 I like the site and figured I would come over and fold. Right now I am actually trying to get my new rig to install FAHcontrol in linux to start my 2080ti as well, but figuring out some dependency issues.

Welcome fam. There are quite a few Linux experts round these parts. I'm sure they can help you get it sorted out

I ended up just configuring the GPU in the config.xml and then started it from the terminal and everything is working fine now. I have to finish some Primegrid tasks first and then I am going to fold on the second card.

[tictoc]

I don't even mess with FAHControl.  They are doing a rewrite to get rid of the python2 dependencies, and I imagine it will be ready by the next client release.

The countdown timers had 9 am instead of 9 pm edt, so I have fixed those for everyone. Sorry about that. 

 

Edit: Really fixed this time. The event starts in 43 minutes.

The competition just started and @BWG has already brought out the big guns!

 

[BWG]

Hopefully, 2 more guns tomorrow and 1 on Friday.

 

Likely, right in time to get fried by clouds.

 

@Avacadotakes the early lead!

Well we all know by now there is absolutely no way to compete with you anymore if you are running full bore. Hoping @Bastiaan_NL will fire up those 3090's and his moms 3080. @firedflyare you running on your own tech this month? Looking good.

I'm away for work, so I 'only' have a 3090, a 3080Ti and a 2080Ti online. It is still pretty hot in the house with 3 cards

Well, I checked his numbers this AM, doesn't appear that he rented anything this month. So feel free to win anytime you'd like.
