Apologies everyone, I think I might have pressed the button a few more times than expected, but can you blame me?!?! An amazing milestone for our @XZero450 and the highest contributor in the team!! Absolutely outstanding!!

Another great day everyone and a great total to boot, unreal work everyone and here's to the next update!!

 

[phill]

Another great day everyone sadly no milestones today but what a days support and contribution as always Amazing work and thank you all so much for the support!! TPU is amazing!!

 

[phill]

And here we go for the 7th April 2022 for the FAH Pie Stats update.....

Another great day everyone, well done everyone for the contributions and support for the team today!! Sadly no milestones today but I'm keeping my little eyes on the prize and I'm hopefully bang up to date for FAH!!

Hope everyone is having a great day and is alright??.... Hope to see you soon!! I've got my eldest with me tomorrow for about a week I hope.. First time in two months and a bit so I might not be very active on the forum, but I will make sure all the pie and such is taken care of

See you soon everyone!!

Apologies guys and gals for the lack of updates recently been caught up with everything else and been never in a good state to update things at 1 or 2am some mornings, got all the updates coming shortly so hopefully that will be a bit of a better start Will apologise in advance for the 'quick' updates!


I was wondering about this and for everyone else who does the folding.....

Rather than cutting off like cold turkey, would there be a happy medium for everyone to get to? I mean run for so many hours a day for a rig or two cards or whatever?

I'm thinking of it two ways; just like myself... So I crunch and fold as and when I can as much as I can when the weather is good as I'm very lucky for the solar panels I have on the house. Some days are better than others and some are down right miserable.... But even without the solar, I'd consider maybe one or two rigs (GPU in each for argument) and run them for the length of one or two work units depending on what you felt like?

Its just a thought really and a bit of a 'selfish' captain thinking of the points for the team in a way... Just wondered how or if people thought of it as an option?

I understand fully though that things are tough and expensive right now and this is why I've asked the question and also wondered about cutting down rather than stopping altogether. I mean we are all in the same boat I think

Peoples thoughts are always welcome here and which is why I will never ask anyone on the team to keep going regardless. If money/hardware is a concern, then I'm not asking for one minute for all of your or any of you to carry on and ignore it.. Gotta make sure it works for you as have said in the past. They don't supply the hardware or electric money. We all have to decide on what we use and how much we use it.

For myself, i'm going to wait for at least a month or so as i'd like to see where the bills are going to go before making any decisions as to whether i can afford to resume Folding.
For even if i manage to attain some usable threshold; i'll also have to reconsider once again in October as we expect our bills to rise even further.

 

[phill]

Well whilst I have a spare few minutes and before I go and grab my eldest, I figure I may as well make the most of the time!! So here we are with the FAH Pie Stats update for the 8th April 2022.....

@MachineLearning !! 300,000,000!!

Well done to @MachineLearning for hitting the next milestone, I had to look at it close to make sure it wasn't today that you hit it or yesterday!! All done yesterday Not seen anyone else just yet but a few coming close to their next milestones.....

Great turn out again today everyone, well done indeed!!

I hope that everyone is doing well and ok??

I hear October it'll be jumping another 50% or something like that?? Either way its flipping mental.. What the heck is going to happen to families and such I'll never know.. I do think that things need to change but whether or not they will, anyone's guess

It's just a thought I'd put out there for peoples thoughts and answers, I like to ask rather than assume anything

I was thinking of running WCG when it comes back online.
It is less energy consuming to run.

Well guys and gals here I go for a quick FAH Pie Stats update for the 9th April 2022.....

Sadly I couldn't see any other milestones today but there's a few members I believe that are coming close to some, I look forward to seeing them pass their next milestones soon!!

I hope everyone is alright and ok?? Just got 5 minutes spare, thought I'd put up the stats at a sensible hour Surprising I know but still..... lol Take care everyone!

And there we are for the day.... Outstanding work everyone and well done for the contributions and support for TPU!! I hope everyone is doing well and is ok?? Weather not so hot today here in the south west of the UK, but I've a bit of folding going at the moment as the sun doesn't really know what it wishes to do, cloudy, sunny.. Been than rain I guess

I hope to see you all again soon!! Take care everyone and massive thanks for your continued support!!!!

[phill]

Whilst I have the chance and the 5 seconds of time between "Daddy we need you!!" here we go for the FAH Pie Stats for the 12th April 2022.....

Well another great day for everyone contributing to the team as always, sadly I didn't get the last update of the day so I think this is the last one I have for the day... I hope everyone is doing well and is alright?? I hope that I can pop by again later for a look about and see what's been happening Take care all!!

 

[phill]

Well here we are a little later on for the FAH Pie Stats for the 13th April 2022.....

And now for the milestones and stoners for the day......

@ATi7500 !!?? 30,000,000!!!!
@asphodel !!?? 90,000,000!!!!

Well done indeed to our two stoners for today, amazing work and the contributions!! I couldn't find their forum names if they are joined here but if anyone knows of their forum tag names please do let us know I'm guessing some of the smaller contributors are using just the CPU for this? Worth even more of a shout out in my opinion!!

Not had a good day folding today, sadly I've been unable to get anything downloaded at all. It's not connected to the site for me and I've tried the reinstall/uninstall/reboot and so on, but nothing has worked, will hope that tomorrow is a better day since yesterday it was working ok for me.. Was on my 3070 folding PC.. Most frustrating! Was anyone else having any issues??
All I was getting was this -

I sadly couldn't get into the configuration settings or anything, just sat like that all day I'm glad others having some better luck! Anyone else having this issue at all??
Hope to catch up with you tomorrow Take care!!

I've had that happen, too. You have to manually start fahclient.exe from wherever you put it (usu in program files x86)

I decided a complete reinstall seemed easier after several restarts and installs of the software, it just didn't want to play ball at all.....

 

[phill]

Well here we go for a very quick FAH Pie Stats update for the 14th April 2022.....

I think I have caught up with the milestones and stoners, I'm just trying to get a quick update uploaded and then go and spend the last hour or so with the girls, I'll try and catch up later

I hope everyone is having a great day and is more so importantly, doing well and ok

Here we go everyone, apologies, for not updating sooner. Yesterday was last day with my eldest and wasn't much in the mood for updating when I got home and such... But after some messing about with hardware and 3D Mark 99 and 2000, we are finally getting things done!! So...

Here we go for the 15th April 2022 for the FAH Pie Stats update.....

I've not seen any new milestones but if I've missed any I'll make sure I'll update the posts later on
Another great day everyone, amazing contributions and we seem to be hitting 20 members pretty much most days, so hats off and respect to you all!! Thank you everyone for the support to the TPU team!!

Well another great day everyone for the contributions today, outstanding and well done!!

I'm not sure they are members of the forum sadly, but if anyone knows them could you ask them please to post in the forum please??

Right best get my bottom moving, take care everyone!! See you hopefully tomorrow for another update!!

 

[phill]

Hello everyone again It seems for me that 2022 won't be a good year for me, as last night cycling home from work, I managed to come off my bike and I found out I broken my leg!! Not bad for being back at work for a day after being away from it for a month.... Still, here we go, hopefully I'll be a bit more active on the forum, but I won't promise too much as I hate letting people down... Apologies more so for today's FAH Pie Stats as the scores tomorrow won't be very good at all because I only collected them twice during the day. Normally the fifth time is the last/latest but sadly tomorrow won't be. Apologies!!

But without more delay, here we are with the FAH Stats for the 18th April 2022......

I don't believe there was any milestones today but I'll try and get a look at it tomorrow and update the post if I have to Great work everyone as always, brilliant contributions as always!!

I hope everyone is doing well and is ok?? Hope to see you back again for another update soon

 

[phill]

[dogwitch]

sadly i will be (seeing i help multi teams) scaling back folding and boinc.
due to replacing some tech that cost good money and also a new set of tires. so fund/power bill is super tight.

Hope you get better & mobile soon Phill, take care m8
