@NotATether your perspective is very much needed here because there is chaos going on here. There are some greedy members who are capable of doing anything, so you should keep in mind that many people are literally submitting entries twice. Many have completed the challenge once and received enough merit from you. Even then they are participating in the challenge again in a new way from the same account.

Legend:

†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Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports.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.

If you don't meet the minimum rank requirements, your post will be ignored.

Congratulations to Unity for Humanity for completing the challenge!

Check out the new Lightning Network Quest -  earn merits and sats for running a Lightning node.
