Well its that time of year again and I had hoped to get to 500 million but it looks like I only added about 30 million last year since my cards I run still are way past warranty are still running but are slow compared to the new versions since the 660Ti SC and 650Ti are not new these days.
But as always I will run them until they die or the GPU tasks put them on the endangered list
So today for some insane reason I will start my *17th year* here
Maybe one of these days I will at least get one sort of modern GPU and it will run like lightning and not cost as much as that 660Ti SC was when it came out many years ago.
And of course great to see several other members here that have been here since way back when we had single-core CPU's and less than one GB of ram and the only extra card I had back then was for my dialup internet card........the old monitor and the PIII 500 ........ I do still have a couple 3-core AMD Phenoms over 10 years old that still run Sixtracks by the hundreds for CERN but pulled out their 550Ti cards since I wasn't using them anymore and after my first laptop that ran for 7 years here and only died because the jack to charge the battery finally decided never to run again even after replacing it twice so I pulled the SSD and put it in one of the desktops that has the 650Ti so now I have a couple years with this laptop running GPU tasks with the old Ryzen 3......the old 8-core Intel in the old laptop was better since this is only 4 cores but it has no problem running GPU's X2 here and a pair of CERN tasks
Oh and see if you have South Park on a 75in 4K UHD running while you are typing you tend to type a few too many .............. oh and I turn 63 on the 29th and it must be still having Mikey here that makes me feel young
.....will the Einstein Project still be running if I make it to year 18

CONGRATULATIONS on making it to 17 years!!!
Yes I think Einstein will still be going next year and YES I think you will upgrade your gpu's too!!
And YES I am still older as I turned 68 on the 23rd of last month. I hope I'm the first to say Happy Birthday to you!!!
As for tasks I got a new pi for Christmas and it's running BRP tasks, a first time running those tasks for me and it seems to be working great after just one day. I'm also running the GW tasks on some of my cpu cores but right now that's all that I am running here. I am running the Six Track tasks at Latin Squares though.
Yeah I noticed you were running many more than me here but right now my rac is at 20K over at Cern since I run the Sixtracks for a friend (he will be 80 in a few months) and of course they only pay the youngsters over there.
Now I've just reached 200,000,000 credits for both machines which are a 10+ yr old Intel i7-990X on Linux and my newer AMD 3950X on Windows 10 which I finally named Godzilla. The Intel is running 2 projects, Einstein and Universe, and Godzilla is running the same plus Milkyway.
[EDIT]
Correction: I am running the same three projects on both computers.
