Recommended Posts

Folding@Home Staff - Team Lead

Welcome to the ExtremeHW 3-day Folding Competition, January 21-23rd

 

Countdown to Event Start

 

Countdown to Event Stop

 

 

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:

@neurotix has a keyboard, mousepad, and a couple fans to give away. See the pictures below.

@Fluxmaven has some EHW sticker bling. See below.

Folding Time Prizes:

tbd
 

Excluded from Prizes:

n/a


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.

 

 

Current Event Stats:

 

 

 

Note: Stats are updated every hour at XX:25 for previous hour of submitted Work Units.  The first update at 00:25 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!

I can offer up two prizes for this, damric. I have been wanting to get rid of these forever. If you pm me privately with your address I will ship them both to you for you to ship to the winner or whatever.

@damric

Sweet. Hold them for now and you can ship them directly to winners. I think @Fluxmaven also has some nice stickers to give away this time. I'll start you guys a group message and we will decide how they get awarded but I'm leaning on 1st place, 1st pick, and so on.

Yes, I was planning on giving away 5 of the larger and 5 of the smaller stickers this foldathon.

I'm confused by this. Is there anything I need to do like set up a new passkey and change it and use it only for those 72 hours, or can I simply continue to fold as I have been and you'll track my points when I start and when I finish? I've never done a foldathon. Also, my current passkey and username were made on an email I cannot access anymore, thankfully my wife had an old email with a copy of my passkey I've used since I started folding in 2012.

 

Thanks.

You do not need to do anything different.  Keep folding with your current username and passkey.  The section you quoted is for when there are prizes awarded where someone will fold under your name for a period of time.  For example, last year, I offered up a folding time prize so someone could receive all points from a 3080ti for 24 hours.  The winner was randomly chosen from all contributors in the competition.

Thank you.

 

I also have a Corsair C70 Vengeance full tower case with fans in it I am looking to get rid of, but it would have to be local pickup only (Illinois) because it would probably cost me $200 to ship.

 

Additionally I can contribute a pretty much new and never used Yate Loon 240mm fan, its giant and would be great set up vertically next to a test bench. I also have a very high speed Delta fan that I modded to use 7v instead of 12v. It requires a fan 3 pin connection and a molex as well.

 

Also damric you should add the stuff I have as well as Flux's stickers to the prize list.

No prob. Thanks. This stuff has just been sitting for years and I need to get rid of it. I have too much stuff. I noticed in the pic of the Delta fan that it's all dusty from being in the bottom of my big box of old fans for years (the last time it was used was in 2012 and not for long because even undervolted it's just too damn loud). Anyway I'm going to clean it up right now, I'll post a pic when I'm done.

 

EDIT: cleaned it up as best I could.

damric, the MM800 Polaris I'm offering is not a mouse, but a hard mousepad with rgb on the edges and a USB port on the top (I used to plug a 360 pad into to it for certain games so it's handy). It's surface is worn fairly bad in the bottom right corner but still, better than nothing.

 

Also here's some encouragement:

Just to confirm, I can just swap to folding under this team now and it'll keep track automatically for when the foldathon goes live? 

Is this single system only? Single GPU?

Haven't done one of these before

Yes just use our team number and you should be good to go. Use as much hardware as you can for all three days. We will be checking this thread periodically and also discord if you have questions. Thank you for joining.
