Onward & Upward.

Triumph #1
Since the last post I've risen to the giddy height of 107th by Total Credit. Moving at the alarming speed of 38th by RAC I should be top 100 by the end of October. Which will be quite good.

Triumph #2
Is that these gains have been achieved with no new upgrades!
Once I've made top 100 I'll downgrade a little. At present I'm managing just over 2 million per day. Two thirds of this would be more than enough to keep  me in or about the top 100.

I'd like to have the basement a bit emptier, a lot cooler and reduce the lecky bill and carbon footprint substantially. Moving beefier GPUs upstairs and selling outmoded CPUs will make the farm more efficient and raise enough dosh to allow for a third i7 machine downstairs. If they were the only 3 PCs in the basement the place would be much more habitable the costs would be less and my CPU capacity would be at least preserved. My plan is to spend nothing new on crunching hardware over the next year.
