OK, if you have been around the forums a while, you know how this works. If not.....here's how it goes. I auction my kitty farm crunching services to the team with the best bid. All funds go directly into the Seti collective, nothing to me. You need to understand this. I DO NOT benefit from this auction. The only transfer is from my daily creds from my current team to the highest bidder. I have been very proud to be a member of the GPUUG for a long time now, and I guess I should give the rest of you a chance to bid on being a kitty. Bidding starts right now, all bids will be confirmed as valid, and I give you one week to sort it out. Make this straight.......all fund go to the Seti general fund. Nothing to me. Nothing. I do this only to generate funds for THE project. Teams..........get your finances in order. The last kitty auction was a LONG while ago. This opportunity shall not come by again anytime soon....... Verified bids now being accepted. And I should have stated, bidding ends a week from now, at this time. Which is 20:22 UTC.... Meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Good for you Mr. Kitty man. Thanks. It's been a while since I did this. The last time, bidding got a bit spirited as the deadline got closer. Some significant funds were directed to the Seti coffers. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

$200 toward the GPUUG to retain, from the secret council of control theory and credit harmony (SCOTCH) "Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all. And unlike most advice, it's backed up by proofs." -- Algorithms to live by: The computer science of human decisions. |

How long is the duration that you crunch for the winner? Sorry about the cruncher.... I had one go down early this morning myself. The PSU shorted out and kicked out the 15a circuit breaker. Fortunately I had a spare PSU and the dead one didn't take out anything else when it failed. I stay with the winning team for a minimum of one year. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Incredible stuff mark. From when I began reading this thread from the top, I had no idea that by the bottom of the thread you would have a bid of $400. That is amazing. Great stuff to everyone involved. |
