ehw foldathon ExtremeHW Folding@Home Competition, November 18th - 20th

[axipher]

Hello all,

 

Welcome to the ExtremeHW Folding Competition, November 18th - 20th, Midnight UTC.

https://www.timeanddate.com/countdown/to?iso=20201119T00&p0=1440&msg=ExtremeHW+November+2020+Foldathon&font=serif&csz=1

 

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 USD PayPal (axipher)

• 1 Year Gold Membership (Bastiaan_NL)

• A game or games of your choice with a cap at 70 EUR on a platform that can send gifts (ie : steam, GoG, etc) (Mistio)

• Western Digital PC SN720 256GB SSD (Shipping included) (tictoc)

 

Folding Time Prizes:

• 1 Week of Bastiaan_NL's RTX 2080 Super for around 3M PPD (Bastiaan_NL)

• 1 Week of Cerberus' 1080ti for around 2.3M PPD (Cerberus)

• 1 Week of Supercrumpet's 2080 Ti for around 4-4.5M PPD (Supercrumpet)

 

 

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.

I'm having issues with the activity "unread items" he's trying to fix for me, im gonna submit a bug thread here in a minute

[Supercrumpet]

In! Will switch over in a couple weeks for sure.

[Mistio]

I will try as well but I don't have the man power to make some serious numbers. 

I can try and fold on both my 2070s (maxq and Galax / KFA). 

I will push a few tiny units for Sparta!

I hope my upgrades will be ready in time for this competition.

Should be another 6 million points added to my 24 hour average

 

@axipher The docs are looking good, thanks for all the work 

@Mistio If you could let that 2070 in your pc fold 24/7 for the competition it will be a lot of points!

Thanks, I've got the stats backend for the Foldathon down do 38 kB across 8 PHP files and runs on a stock XAMPP setup on Windows, takes les than a minute to run both EHW and OCN stats.  Google Docs makes it nice and easy to share the results too, hopefully @ENTERPRISE can get GDocs integration up and running before the event start.

 

Alternatively, I am looking for some way to either embed a live image of the GoogleDocs, and image of a countdown timer, and or a PHP based chart of the results.  If anyone has ideas for that, I'm all ears.

 

Only thing I need to do is finish commenting all my code, clean up the username/password for the database access, then I'll probably throw a copy on Github for anyone to just use and abuse or help improve.

No Google integration just yet. I am waiting to do a full deployment of the embed wizard which includes Google and more. Right now, we will have to muddle through without it. Embed Wizard is being re-worked and will hopefully come soon after Rig Creator release. Finally able to focus on features now that all the other backend tasks are now completed.

I sent a text to my brother about this, he was like: "why on earth would someone want to do that?"  (he's a backend developer)
We'll have to live with it I guess

That's why he's a backend developer and I'm just a hobbyist, so let him know we need better ideas then

[Bastiaan_NL]

He's not willing to help me out on this one.. I will kidnap his 2080ti, let's see who wins 

[tictoc]
