First, you are unlikely to make profit from running this normally. So for those that are coming here only for the profit should probably just stop reading and move on. For those that understand what volunteer computing is and don't mind getting a small bit of their contribution returned to them...
I have reached out to biodoc over in the TAAT servers to confirm that we will still have this event. Last I read it was slated for 1/24-1/31. I will post more as I hear back the details.
EDIT: The event will be from 1/26-2/2.

Looks like [H] has dropped out of the top 10 teams.

Our production is on a decline too. Has interest petered out or is it just part of the Summer cycle of things?
You can now run FAH from a docker image at Vast.ai

Since we are getting multiple posts on FAH and Rosetta@home supporting COVID-19, I felt it would be nice for us to keep a singular point for updates on the topic so that people aren't trying to track down where things are posted. At the time of creating this thread, only two projects are working...
Does anyone know of any faucets that do not require CAPTCHA's. I'm curious on how many could easily be automated to get minimum stakes or wallet activation without having to return several hours to claim.
Mods, please do not move this thread. It is to get a feel for what the DC team would like to do rather than a discussion on crypto/mining in general. Any such discussion should be directed to the mining subsection.
Team, Gridcoin is currently testing the option of allowing other teams to earn...
OK, so we are in the works of talking to TAAT about another FAH challenge. I've been PM'ing biodoc about this and we need some of team H's thoughts on how they would like a yearly challenge to go. This past one originally was going to be us vs. them. However, they had about double the output we...

So, I wanted to put a discussion behind closed doors but have it here so that others may see it that aren't in Slack. I also don't want it in the open yet as that may attract others to mitigate things early on.
