    Are you sure you can stand the heat?



    Then again with all the heat those will produce you could convert your garage into a BBQ place and make some money to buy some more.

    Since we're turning up the heat, I thought we should track the teams progress.

    We're 64th on this? Holy crap, I thought with all the GPU firepower you and Lauren had on this we'd be quite high up there.

    When I reach 1 million blocks on RC5-72 I'll swing by over here to put down another million or two.

    I've had all my Nvidia cards on Collatz. They're winding down the cache from there and switching over to Milkyway. In a few days the numbers should see a dramatic increase but there are some teams with a lot of horse power on this project. As an example the top team SETI USA has over 1100 members and are pulling down over 6,000,000 credits a day.

    Hmm.. that's an average of ~5,500 credits/day per person on that team, which isn't much (presumably they are not all active though). If there were a few more of us with capable GPUs, I think we could approach a a few million per day but there doesn't seem to be that much interest right now for whatever reason. We're far outproducing quite a few teams above us though, so we should be able to climb the ranks.

    I'll be able to switch over within a couple of weeks or so, but I'll only be good for <100k per day.

    Just quoting myself for a quick update. I did pop over here again and lay down another 500k or so but I keep running out of work and end up with an idle GPU. No thanks.

    Back to RC5-72 until this thing is more consistent.
