new folder "Elena"

Post by badrabbit6 »

There is a new folder blowing past just about everyone"elena"! Started on Tuesday and already have well over 4M points. Anyone know who or what Elena is? A secret new quantum super? A code name for skynet?

Something is weird in his/her client list ... I guess it's time to sent Agent Smith to investigate in the Matrix :mrgreen:

Ah, thanks. My dad has been going through chemo off and on for about 10 years now as well...

In fact, the oddity is in the return time of the WUs from this user ... I see dozen WUs returned at the exact same time ... I wonder how it is possible :?

It seems loads of people from all over the world are donating her some of their work as a get well/thinking of you gesture.
Have seen the posts asking for support but not asking for work units, however folders are sending support anyway in that special folding currency.

I think you're looking at the times when the stats update, not the times when the WUs actually are uploaded. I think they're collected over a 2 hour period and then they all get added to the stats at the same time.

Yes, I know, but he didn't say whether he meant the exact time of crediting or exact same time of uploading, did he?
