And...that's a wrap.

All tips have been sent out by Nu (who organized the discord side of this competition).
The final sheet with rewards sent out by Nu is the same as I've posted earlier, this one.

I've sent some lottery tickets to tomorrows BTC lottery round to everyone.
We had allocated 0.05BTC for that (equals 500 tickets), they were spread as following:

5 tickets for every participant who either reached 100k credits or submitted 5 WUs (320 total)
10 tickets for every participant who contributed more than 11M credits (100 total)
20 tickets for ILoveLTC for their tracker (thank you very much for the effort)
20 tickets for xandry for being the first on the leaderboard with a huge lead.
20 tickets for CorneliusA for their engagement on discord.
20 tickets for Swizz420 (twiztid) for their engagement and for providing help to others on discord.

As the rainbow squad donations have to be made in fiat (yeah, there's charities that accept crypto, but we're trying to focus on charities that respond to the covid crisis in this instance),
they will take a little longer to be sent out. I'll keep you updated.

Obviously, it isn't designed to be a way to get "free" BTC... it's to incentivise people to help with the Folding@Home project to help combat Covid-19.

You should be doing it to help the effort... not to make BTC.

Your notebook will probably thermal throttle like a mofo... but it'll shut itself down before it catches on fire!

These sorts of programs were not really designed for laptops... and laptops[1] were not really designed for these sorts of programs.

Also, if you're doing this simply to make a few BTC, then do the math... you need 100,000 credits to get 0.0001 BTC... which is currently worth about $0.67 USD... now calculate how much $$$ worth of electricity you're going to burn gaining those credits. You'd be better off just buying some BTC from someone.

This is pretty much the most inefficient way to "mine" BTC
