Why would EVGA needs to keep track of the points when EOC does it so well?
I miss the program too but with the shortages of hardware, a hardware Co with little to no hardware to sell....
I just hope they can survive this and not go bankrupt. 
This is the third time there has been shortages in the last several years, it has to be hitting their bottom line hard.
With the cost to keep an employee on the payroll, no product to sell, time is money. 
It must of cost a small fortune to keep that program going. Bucks + manpower tracking, fixing errors and so on.
.
Maybe I am wrong, just trying to see it from their side.

I don't think either one of us is wrong...
We are both right and it is for the people in power to see that.
Once they do they can act on it.
Hardware shortages are a valid concern and I don't think it is limited to EVGA.
Less manpower required to handle their reward systems is vital.
Finding a way to easily monitor crunching stats so it can be included in future reward programs is another possibility.
Corporately I think EVGA is an Enigma...they are Unique in how they do their business
I applaud them...
I just don't know why anyone, from EVGA, hasn't contacted Jason for his input.

 

If I could ever get a new card (3080Ti), I would fold for EVGA.

I just wonder is this really helping researchers? I remember thinking i was saving the world running it on my PS3 cell cpu lol.

Short answer is yes. It helps way more than gaming or mining. 

Yeah but gaming doesn't help anyone it's a past time

I see no clear answer here about:
1. Are these dollar amounts still valid?
2. How long will these be usable given that nearly all cards are now made of Unobtanium.

I too felt like I was humanitarian of the year folding on my ps3 at age 14! hahaha

Cowards

A stats pimp statement on the status of the team - Yeah, the loss of points/bux hurt, but we're actually trending back upwards.  Bux wasn't EVERYTHING to this team.  The loyalty is.  And dagnabbit, we have a strong core of folders still going strong and we're rebuilding.

We're a LONG way from the powerhouse we once were, but Linus and his crew kind of put the screws to THAT with his Youtube flex.  NO hate intended. His channel isn't my cup of tea, but the dude DOES do a lot of good work with his clout, including bending the will of thousands of people with folding worthy hardware to the cause.
 
We're limping along and we're hobbled, but we're not DEAD by a long shot. We're still putting out numbers that make other teams drool. 

We're gonna live through this year and the next, and we're gonna not only survive, but I predict our thriving in the future, once again.
 
Fold on, lads and ladies!!
