†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.

Report generation is semi-automated now, so 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Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports.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 everyone who has completed the challenge! Please give me some time to send you your merit.


If your report has been marked as incorrect it is most likely because you are still posting images. Please use text output and post all of your reports again.

My final report for completing this challenge. My Bitcoin core wallet is fully synchronised. I enjoyed completing this challenge because I learned how to run a node and other technicalities. Thank you @NotATether for creating this educational challenge. I'm looking forward for your new challenge in the future!

You have already completed the challenge after you hit 99% yesterday, but good to know you are still running your node!
