almost 100k in 6 months seems pretty dang good to me! I'd race you, but we're not really close in points.

Seems very good to me, I've been folding for almost a year and I just broke 50k lol.
I hadn't considered that. I had folded a small bit a few years ago, but this is the first time I'd really b0rged a number of boxes and started crunching away. My ex told me I needed a new hobbyDark Ember said:almost 100k in 6 months seems pretty dang good to me! I'd race you, but we're not really close in points.

Yeah, you'd probably crush me hands down. ~500 pts daily difference between you and I. I'd have to run up a few more boxes in order to make it even fair? Or you'd have to tie one arm behind your back.

I'm down one CPU at the moment, but the one I lost and another one will be coming online this evening. What kind of race were you thinking of?

it seems there is no one at my level thats putting out close to the same ppd

Probably something like most gain over a period of time. Depends on how long you want it to go. This would be more accurate than going to a points level like 200K or something. Heck, we could even do something like a WU race. Points are good, but WU does more for the science I think.

A very valid point indeed. With the new point structure its not hard to accumulate points on a wholesale basis, but its completed work units that get the job done.
Im not quite sure how you would do a work unit contest but then many of you are far more creative then I.
Have at it
Well, you would want a level playing field. Trying to use some of the same cores as everyone else. Something that will produce good yields of WU that are needed for the projects. I have a couple crappers on the farm that would be usefull for running timeless. All of my bigger systems are fully capable of running QMDs. Probably would be a good idea to have a unified config file for all systems in the race. Heck, even a no flags rule is possible. I have never tried timeless WU yet. Anyone have info on them?

i agree it would be cool to do a wu race i don't think it would be completely fair
reason being my main computer only does 600 ptrs pretty much but they take 2 to 2 1/2 days if i got 50 ptrs on the same machine i could probably do 2-3 a day
unfortuenately we don't have complete control over what WU we get from stanford

From what I can tell on the projects page here , the timeless ones are all Tinkers. We can set them to timeless, all get the same core to make it level. Again, I am not sure on reading this but I imagine the ones with the Final days that are "--" are the timeless ones. Only 4 of them though. I would think that the server would have enough WU for a race for a couple months or so. Points range on them is from 239-249.
