After completing 50 years milestone for the team last week, which means I've now crunched more than 4 times as much workunits as all the other members combined, it's time to move on.

Since there's really nothing going on here, we don't take part in any challenges and the like, and I've been pulling the team on my own for quite some time, I don't see any future here.

I'll stay in the group and when there's some activity here again, I'll be happy to come back, but until then I'll be crunching for an active team.

I hope I could at least set you a goal that you want to surpass.
Good Luck & Have Fun!

Because of the currently high energy prices in Germany (>45ct/kWh) I had to throttle BOINC massively. If you want to catch up, now's the time!

hi, just joined the team

Many thanks!

Well, it's not like I have to do the calcs in my head. Most of the work is done by my XPEnology NAS, which I built from a used Fujitsu Esprimo E710 SFF that came for 35€, then stuffed in twelve* 2,5"-HDDs in and replaced the Pentium CPU with a Xeon E3-1265L v2. Main purpose is to serve as house automation server and private cloud. However, it would idle most of the time without BOINC.

(*6 in the 5.25" slot, 2 in each 3.5 slot (int/ext) and another two in a 3.5"-adapter I screwed onto the drive cage - fits barely but fits, but you need additional controllers)

My gaming rig can be found here [sysprofile.de] (pics not up to date, atm). However, I need to do something about VRM temps, before going all in with that.

So much about what my cans are made of, the rest is just not switching them off. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As an apology for the delayed reply, here's a sixpack:

Shout-out to user The_Mole who is putting everyone to shame with that compute time! Crazy!

To everyone else: There are 57 members in this group and only 8 are actually on the WCG Team. I'm assuming at least some of you are doing it, so don't forget to join the team!

I've started same kind of group, for Russian segment of Steam.

Also I have no idea who user "1q2w3e4r5t6y" is, I think probably sol, but kudos on climbing to the top of the points leaderboard.

I think it's a tough sell for a lot of people these days, when they could be mining crypto instead. I'm guilty of forgetting about this group, but getting back on the horse. Thanks for keeping it going guys, good on ya.

We're around and plugging away, I just think we don't frequent the steam group all that often.
