I just got a few, even one for the CPU; must be those being returned. Thank you for releasing unneeded ones. Honestly, until the message came out that the project was ending, I didn't even realize I was after specific goals or badges. Until then, I'd always managed as best I could to keep the Run Time as close to equal on all projects as possible. The urge might have started with the Clean Water project ending with 354 days and the thought came to me, "dang, just a few more days and I would have hit the Emerald". Never really thought more of it until seeing the project ending notice for HCC.

Kill Cancer!

Less than 2 days left for the emerald. If I get it, I´ll return the others, maybe in the morning update.

I made it! Thanks to all that returned unneeded work. I have unchecked the project so I won't get anymore, and have none in my queue. Hot Dog, my first Sapphire! Wouldn't have had a chance if folks hadn't returned those in excess of their personal goals.

Now, need to find something for my two GPUs to do (perhaps I'll mine bitcoins for awhile, but that doesn't seem nearly as rewarding). Their computing power is simply astounding. I thought an I7 CPU was fast, but wow, if they could put a couple GPU's computing power into a CPU, that would be the new gold standard in CPUs for several iterations to come. (Yes, I'm ignorant enough to dream big things for the continued dominance of CPU driven machines).

You're most welcome bill4trade

Congrats on your First Sapphire! Feels good to get the first!

Congrats to all that got their badge just before the end arrived...!!

I wonder if the next HCC project will add to the current score (or do we start HCC2?)
