Congratulations to davidBAM on becoming our latest Deca-Billionaire.
If only we could spend those points in a shop. Well done on the effort in such a short time loon.
~6 in the all time team rankings, #5 just around the corner.

actually #5 may be just a bit further away - leccy bills have pointed out the lunacy of running GPUs with all the house windows open. 10Bn inside my first year was my main target so I'll be becoming a little more choosy between sprints.

Very true, but won't be long until your running the GPU's with the windows closed. Summer never lasts that long up here.

... and, talking as a true Boinc addict, I have just about persuaded myself that I could get another couple of GPUs with the money saved by not running the others Is there any hope for me, Doctor?

None whatsoever!
Actually, Alez uncharacteristically understates the extent of your achievement. The rest of us in the Deca-Billionaire category all profited from the slightly shameful ASICS Bitcoin Utopia episode. [Don't judge us: At the time it looked like the future. ]You came along later and are by a large margin TSBT's most prolific non-ASICS cruncher ever despite your relative newbie status.

Indeed, overall you are 76th in the world, while I am well behind in 144th.

I'm sure I could catch you up if I spent enough (=more than I could get away with) money on hardware & leccy & got my house reconfigured to pour spew heat outside. But I'm not sure I've got that much will to win any more.
So long may your megalomania prevail.
Your rise to the top is truly inspiring, if a little scary!

Oh - and I thought I was #260 from this table https://www.boincstats.com/stats/-1/user/list/0/200#260 Even better
Very generous of you Sir. Granted I know nothing of the asics episode BUT a less-generous observation would be that 90% of my own total is from Collatz. 6.5million per day from a 130W / £270 card sure helps a lot.

As others have said, a remarkable achievement in so short a time.

I'm not sure that someone from Huntly really wants to be throwing about rural inbreeding jibes!
I wouldn't dare say that were it not that I too am a Garioch loon, born & inbred, as I said to my wife & sister, the other day. Retarded though she is, she agreed!
