Hi all
Just wanted to highlight that we have another 100 BEEEELLION credit club member.
So please step forward "joshrandom", who's reached this total within the last day.
That means we now have 3 members in this club...I wonder if another one else will get close? The next member on the list is UBT - Eric on 74 beeellion at the moment...and then there's a big gap to nicely_warm on 12 beeellion and Rich on 7 beeellion.
In the meantime, heartfelt congrats to josh - VERY. VERY WELL DONE !!!
regards
Tim

Bit late to this but well done James, a very impressive total
My money would be on Eric being the next 100 beeelion-er as nicely_warm hasn't crunched anything for quite a while.

Won't be me for a while, I'm still crunching but slower lol
That being said I've just found out that Google,Facebook and Microsoft ALL upgraded their cloud servers towards the end of last year and they've just dropped thousands of Xeon E5's on Ebay from as little as $40. I may need a little side project and build a new workstation. If I can convince the wife.
Well done James keep it up.

Thanks for the congrats guys.
This is the target I've been aiming for, and I think I'll stop and wait here for a while (well, at least until winter and I need to turn the R-Boxes back on to keep the house warm).
