†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. Usually this is because you misnumbered your days. 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Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports.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 Popkon6 and cxtreenal for completing the challenge!

[As-Soon-As]

You still seem to be ignoring my instructions, so this is my final warning. Increase your posts to the minimum required (50) before joining the challenge or I will start deleting your reports.


Everyone else: Progress update will be posted later today.

Code:

You must have at least 30 activity and 50 posts to participate.

Since there are 30 to 50 posts referring to your rules, have I been useful enough now?

My Activity post 32

So if I get your permission I can again submit the report here, now I am just waiting for your permission.

No, read it carefully, the requirement is two parts.

1) you need at least 30 activity, and in addition to that,
2) you need at least 50 posts. (Your profile will show you the number of posts you have created.)
