@Bcavnaugh - You looking for another 660ti?? I have one laying around.

If you want to gift it, you could offer it for a prize for the contest. I bet it may help someone. That's up to you though.

6 billion?
 
Fold 'em if you got 'em!

6 billion?
 
Fold 'em if you got 'em!

I do not think so, the crunching team has two other obligations this month.
There is a GPU Primegrid challenge which is GPU WUs. Starting very soon  the 18th to the 23rd. Five days with out a few heavy hitters.....I
And a WCG challenge, which is CPU work. Soon too, but that won't cut into folding too much.
 
 
Kind of why I was thinking January, when it is quiet and cold outside.
That gives us time to get the word out and make a go of it.
The Primegrid series is something the crunching teams puts our best effort into.
 
 

On the donation side. I was thinking maybe doing a few EVGA T-Shirts. Not sure the best way to do it.
Buy a few shipped to me, then I ship them out .Like I buy  m-L-XL-XXL then winners pick their size? What style?
Or I pay EVGA a deposit and let who ever wins order and EVGA ship to them. Way I think would be best.
Guess I can call EVGA during business hours and see what they would/ could do.
Any one know off hand how this was handled before?

I don't know if 6 billion is achievable, but realistically 5 billion is pretty much already in the bag.
 
The contest will end in 4-5 days...and yes some people will shut down or switch over to crunching but others will push on to try to set as high a mark as we can for the month.

Thinking out loud some food for thought.
Nov, has 30 days and is not very cold yet.
January has 31 days and is very cold.
Feb, has 28 days,  cold but shortest month of the year.
 
There is nothing wrong with folding as much as we can, I am just trying to be honest and open and realistic.
 
Pick a day before this TZ challenge ends and before the 18th and lets shatter a daily record.
Wed or Thurs may be good
 

Those are all true bill, but no reason why we can't put up some impressive numbers for the month.

This is true, we can do that. Sure we can come back to fold more after the PG challenge
 
But are we up for a January break the bank, heat your home challenge too?
I am in if we do, couple others a page or two ago said heck yeah.
Others said "We need more challenges"
Don't have to go crazy with prizes. Keep it simple.
 
Just throwing it out there.

Well, if I win one of those fancy 1070's I'll continue to help us get our goal. My 770 isn't doing too much but it's something.

Thank you, but no thank you.
I only have one in use and have given the other 2 away.

No worries
