I should maybe do this in PM, but at the moment I don't care.
Hueristic, thank you for working through this with me. It is pretty obvious right now that I have been suppressing how much the end of that scene hurt. I used to hang out on IRC with those guys on the regular...
I have said before, and I still believe, one of the things that really gives me hope is that quite a few of the early Bitcoin folks are OG folders, fundamentally altruistic individuals.
This world could do with an elite class with something other than their own quarterly gains in view.

I havn't looked at the stats in years and just checked and DAMN your right you guys have been decimated. Yeah they screwed the points system right up with GPU's, N00bs would catch up in a few months with a new gpu, it was a real joke. But I folded from 2000-2006 or so Anon with 6 rigs before joining a team. I've had alot of family die from cancer and thats all I could really do about it.
I remember when EVGA was bribing and I guess now there are 2 F@H coins for it?
I was just looking at the stats too, making me pretty sad seeing all the old user names, we were a thing. I know it is really about the science, but guys had tens of thousands of dollars tied up in those big AMD 4Ps and Stanford fucked them just as other opportunities to do science were coming on the scene. Then 7im started deleting people's posts and threads on the F@H forum. Some pretty serious personal farms found new places to contribute and we just never coalesced around a single project the way we had around F@H. I should dig out the T shirt and cry a little. Just found this. https://foldingforum.org/viewtopic.php?nomobile=1&f=98&t=30310so I'm not sure how to say this... I am glad I am already drunk right now dude was...um...difficult to get along with... |

there was a pin you could isolate or snap off on the pentium northwood B and change its multiplier (or fsb?). might not of been the B model either come to think about it. a,b,c model northwoods all used a different fsb, that pin said which one to use. or something like that lol
only remember cuz i tried it and it didnt work. as i broke my pin it was a major pita to get it to make contact again. i use a piece of copper wire sticking out of the socket as i recall.
and those AMD chips where you could strap multiplier pins with a veeeery carefully placed pencil mark...jesus man, those were the days edit/ falling off the wagon now...god damn you guys |

1 minute chart engaged thrusters to full |

GFDs (gold finger devices) which plugged into the Athlon II(?) processor to change the multiplier.
fuck me there's a blast from the past...wow that would be an overclocking artifact I would like to have |

How did I know you were part of the Hoard!  We got you guys though.  Yeah...Stanford pointsfucking the 4P rigs and the antics of 7im drove off a lot of our heavy D, scattered to the winds now, we only rank #8 on F@H, #30 on WCG. There was a time though, EVGA couldn't even bribe enough users to beat the mighty [H]orde. |

Back when Bitcoin started I was a heavy F@H contributor and was on OCN working to World domination (Which we accomplished!)
pffft team33 FTW BTW, open Zika sprints on WCG right now, got some fans running |

I don't see any run over cats in that alley.  They were in hiding. |

Re "pics or it didn't happen" the other day, here is my neighbor's car on the trailer yesterday ready to go to the drags today and a shot of our alley.   |

Perhaps if those retarded fucks had not been mass administering our most powerful frontline antibiotics in their filthy factory farms prophylactically for years... It's like a goddamn purpose built superbug incubator FFS. |

What car part you need Jojo? I'm in the UK happy to help, though most parts come here from the east.
Thanks! WO delivered in short order. It is on it's way, which will be nice as the vehicle needing it is clogging my workspace but good. Snapped off a brake bleeder valve. Attempted extraction myself and ended up buggering the seat well and truly. Discovered that particular corner caliper is near unobtanium for this particular (quite obscure) 35 year old German auto. Unfortunately, it has become more of a pet than transportation. |

I am feeling increasingly sympathetic towards Finex. They weren't even as criminal as a 'normal' bank, they were just trying to serve their customers - and ironically Tether really was backed by real dollars.
this also, if this is all the debart the bears got they are in deep, deep doodoo |

I know the thread likes trains. It is perhaps fitting that we embark on this bull run just as the largest operational steam locomotive in the world makes it's maiden voyage. The Union Pacific Heratige shops in Cheyenne WY have just completed a frame up restoration of 4014, a specimen of the "Big Boy" class 4-8-8-4. Weighing in at some 567,000 kg, this type were the largest steam locomotives ever manufactured. This video, shot earlier today, was uploaded about an hour ago. This beast is seriously fresh out of the shops. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RR7Q27cIEvo  choo choo motherfuckers |
