I would like to know why someone can seemingly score points at a near infinite rate higher than I do. Frankly, I feel cheated and want to know why my work is devalued.
My participation in this project shall be determined by your reply.

I couldnt agree more!

BTW, Zim has left, but why??? I don't see any reason makin up a team of one.

Do you ever wonder why there are not more crunchers in the world? I mean if you look at it, only a few percent of the machines that could be used here, are used here.

The reason is paranoia, after the lack of information is fulfilled. For what it takes to crunch, or to understand why each machine is a victory, requires the human involved be pretty evolved.

The human mind is made of 3 basic sections: the id, the ego and the super ego. The id is all the basic animal instincts and programmed responses buried in the subconscious. The ego is how we see ourselves in our own immediate reality. The super ego is that which assumes realities beyond the immediate. Things like religion, philosophy, amongst others, that would point to a greater good.

What most don’t realize, is that they come a great distance in coming here. As by being here, we show that we do care about a brighter future not just for ourselves, but for everyone. So to make the jump to understanding why to be involved at all is 90% of the battle. The reason why there are some more avid crunchers in our group is personal connection.

What drives dear Cargod here, is a very personal connect more than a few times with cancer. I don’t share that problem directly, but fight for a 12 child watching a loved one die in a ICU. Filled with a cold of helpless, lost in pain, to watch as last moments turn to loss. Yes, I fight for all children like that. As the one that died was my father and the child was myself. The day of this team's creation at grid.org is also the 35th passing of that day.

Personally though, when people asking me why I crunch, Rather than give them a hard luck story, I say:

"I love the sound of CPU fans. There is no sound like it.. It reminds me of the fight back in grid.org, where every result, every point, every hour of CPU time was met with a salute. I cant quite place it. That whirring? But to me, there's nothing like waking to the sound of CPU fans in the morning. It seems to sound like a call. It sounds like?... It sounds like?..... victory."

You know Cargod, someday this will all be over. That every work unit screened. In heavens name, what will we do?

Greetingz from Prohardver Team!

You are doing very nice job at the October challenges, but we won't give up!
Keep crunchig!

I hate to see anyone leave.
But only YOU know what is best for you.
If your personal circumstances improve, I hope you can find your way back.
If not here, then to somewhere where you can make a difference.
It's not the size of the contribution that is important, it's the fact that you did what was within your power to help.
I wish you the best of everything in your life.
Rich
