Finally I managed to complete my challenge in 14 days.  This challenge could have been completed earlier if not for the electricity problem.

• Do not enroll alt accounts.

I want to ask about these rule

For example, someone has 2 Bitcointalk accounts, where 1 account already has merit above 1000 and 1 other account still has below 1000 merit. Is this person allowed to participate in this challenge using her/his account whose merit has not reached 1000 merits?

If you join the challenge with one account then you are not allowed to enroll the other account inside it ever.

>=1000 merit accounts obviously cannot participate under any circumstances (for merit at least).

†Indicates a bitcoin node failure or some other reason which I have been made aware of. Members who are absent for too long will be removed without notice and will have to start over if they want to rejoin.

*Indicates a person who has not submitted a report for a long time. Please do so immediately to avoid getting removed without notice.

#Indicates a person whose report was not processed because it is incorrect. Please fix your report as soon as possible.

If you see any error in the progress report like your name isn't listed correctly, and so on, please let me know so I can fix it.

Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports. It makes compiling this list slightly harder.

Congratulations to Patrol69 for completing the challenge!


@fredericktaylor Images are no longer allowed, please go copy and paste the text and fix your report posts so that they can be processed.

@CryptoWODL please go through your reports and make sure they are all numbered correctly. I suspect that you have a duplicate day number.

@CryptoWODL please go through your reports and make sure they are all numbered correctly. I suspect that you have a duplicate day number.

Yes I am wrong, you are right. I miscalculated the days.

I have corrected the days of my post. Today will be Day 11 of my Bitcoin Node Running Challenge. That is correct.
