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 [email protected] 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.

 

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.

 

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 built one a few months back and it came in a flat box. To be honest I was very skeptical because it seemed flimsy when I first started screwing it together. But once you get all of the screws in and mount your motherboard it's very solid and I used it for HWBOT benching and as another folding rig. I ended up giving that one to my buddy @JosephStewartPE so he has an extra folding rig. For this contest I'm going to order a few more to give away since they really are perfect for someone to get into folding. I'm thinking it's going to be random prizes for anyone who can complete ~10 WUs within the 3 days.

Done. Any WU requirement on these? 

 

I'm requiring 10 WU for the cases. bonami2 only requiring 1 WU for the key. Both random draw.

[neurotix]

Yeah gotta be a 10 WU requirement.

[neurotix]

Add this to the prize list. BNIB, never used. Was a Christmas gift from my wife's relatives, but my wife got me the exact same model in red for Xmas that replaced the same one I had since like 2011 that was falling apart.

 

Logitech G432, add it to the prize list.

[axipher]

Big massive thanks to anyone donating any sort of prize 

[Avacado]

Please exclude me from prizes.
