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Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports.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

Not even 1 merit? I was hurt
I know that this is kind of explicit given the forum area where the topic is open, but perhaps it's nice to highlight this information in the OP!. [EDIT: Sorry, now I see... <1000 merits]

Anyway, I understand that the purpose of the topic is to encourage new users to run a node, and I am also happy to have completed the challenge, I will certainly continue running the node as long as I can.

Congratulations, @NotATether, for your commitment and dedication to making this challenge work.
