Welcome to the ExtremeHW Folding Competition, Saturday March 26th - 28th, 12:00 AM UTC (Friday March 25th - 27th, 8 PM EST)

 

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:

 

- £25 from @ENTERPRISE x4

 

Folding Time Prizes:

• TBD

 

Excluded from Prizes:

 

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.

Note: Stats are updated every hour at XX:25 for previous hour of submitted Work Units.  The first update at 12:25 AM UTC will set the "zero" for your points based on all the WU's submitted up to 12 AM UTC.

 

 

Good luck to all!

Just for clarity, does this need to be another piece of hardware and another passkey than what is used currently for the ETF? 

 

Either way,

Your ETF hardware and key will count towards this.

 

But if you fold additional hardware under the same name, you need to use a different key. If you need help setting that part up, let me know. @BWG has beat that procedure into my head quite a few times so now I know it like the back of his hand

Now that's awesome!!!

 

In the future I'd like to put some good 2nd hand hardware up for prizes too, so expect some communications about that. I know I'm not the only one with idle hardware in the shelf that could be used for fun prizes.

Welcome to the forums! Thanks for the contribution to the team folding effort.

[damric]

@ENTERPRISE Just clarification, is the 100 winner take all for most Work Units, or shall we split it up a bit? We can wait a couple days to figure it out just in case anyone else is offering cash.

What do you have that can fold? Would $25 cover it if you want to go all out?

He told me an RTX 2080, but it might be sharing a purpose with something else.

I don't suppose you'd sell the hertz 970 for 24/7 folding?
