Klaas [DutchForce] is a wonderful person, would be nice to hear how he is. Hope he is well. 

Don't want to hyjack thread but it does make you stop and wonder...let you know if I hear anything.

If you don't hear back I'll try reaching out to him.

Not much of a date but when ever is fine

Its a lot of work behind the scenes to get everything set up and organized, and this is something I essentially started working on as soon as the TZC ended.  Given the outside demands on my time and schedule I err on the side of not prematurely divulging specifics as I don't want to get people invested and then have to cancel it.  When I announce the details I am 100% committed to it, for better or worse.  That being said, I would expect sometime within the next week there will be more specifics...

EVGA kind of needs to put sum thing in a slot something to add to980ti for this upcoming contest . a 980ti   for under $200 would be nice , nicer yet a 2080 for around $300 . Would not be first time my 980ti was half the price at start of contest as it is today . LOL what I am saying is put a few Bstock cards on a big time sale like when I got my 980ti . There is no way I will ever get a new card they went out of my price range . But I can get close to last cards if you put them on sale for us evga folders and crunchers . Think on it @ EVGA

Seems they have a GT 1030 SC, a 210 DDR3, and an 8400 gs (limit one per household, because you know they will sell fast) https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=01G-P3-1302-LR
 
The 8400 gs is also in b-stock (limit 2)
 
not bad for a nearly 14 year old card... or is it?
 
It seems GPUs are so in demand now they likely don't even have a B-stock of cards to put up for sell, and assuming they have any 980 tis or 10 series stuff, they'll likely be holding it for RMAs.

well then I definitely won't have my next 3090 by then troy...lol

So you're saying there is a chance? SWEET! 

Thank you so much for popping in for an update. I like many others consider you a great part of our Team, Klaas. You are missed around these parts. Take care, good to hear you are well. Thanks for sending the e-mail troy, it worked!!

Hi everyone,
 
It has been quite a while and I just wanted to stop by to say that all is well here (thanks Troy for sending me an email).

I've stopped folding in March last year after having constant problems getting WUs (due to great interest for Covid -19 projects).
I'm not going to fold this year, maybe next year.
 
I hope you all have a nice contest!!

Glad to hear that all is well given the crazy state of the world and nice of you to take the time to stop by and say hi.  Its not the same folding without you, but we'll carry the torch in your absence!
