1.5 BILLION PPD.... One user

[Demmers]

I fold with Team Atto now with my piddly GTX 1650. About 600,000 PPD.
I thought i'd have a look at the team numbers.
Looks like a couple of users have invested their entire lives savings into renting GPU's in the cloud. I say GPU's. More like, they rented a supercomputer.

Just saw this yesterday, that 1.7 billion player came out of nowhere about to overtake my five years plus thirty billion in a couple of days.

Ouch

Yeah, I noticed it the other day. I think it's fairly insane to invest so much in cloud folding unless it's profitable. Even then it seems like a big chunk of money to throw at something all at once.

Being that most of these extreme cases are those on the crypto or coin based teams I can only assume they are hoping to cash in at some point and actually profit. But some people on other teams already fold some fairly insane numbers as well.
