If your name is not here, you have not written a report during the last period.

No duplicate entries have been detected in the data.


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Please do not quote this post when you type your status reports.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 Solodoski, Miles2006 and Derekfunds for completing the challenge!

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


Disclaimer: Please don't try to enroll your alt accounts or participate more than once. There will severe penalties if I catch anyone doing that.
