Kevint,

Who is Kevint?  Many of you on Team Musketeers don’t know who Kevint is. Kevin was a mega cruncher a few years ago, I guess you can figure that out seeing as how he has lead this team from day one. I first ran into Kevin on setiusa. He was one of the leaders on that team when I joined it. I was coming into setiusa in 17 place so I made some wild post about another power player coming to setiusa and Kevin kind of shut me up. We had our little exchange and then settled down to crunch. Kevin and DD really helped push me on to become a real power player on the team. Kevin was one of the first people to do a million in a single day, he was one of the first to make it to a billion credits. Kevin was the first person in the world to reach a billion in a single project, in Milkyway.

In the next few days we will see a change in the team leader as pwrguru (Rich) will overtake Kevin around the 2.24 billion mark. While I hate to see Kevin replaced I have to congratulate Rich for a job well done. Rich has put in a lot of hard work reaching the 2+ billion points. I know it is a few days away but congratz Rich on becoming the Team Musketeers new point leader. Well done Rich and keep it up.

I will also take this time to say congratz to Bryan as he will become a double billionaire in a few days also. Well done Bryan, keep chasing those big dogs.

Please, all of you that know some about Kevin add something to this. I think we should roast him a little bit here, we could even give Rich a little roasting too.

I too have mixed emotions about Kevin losing his place as the top cruncher at TM but it was going to happen sooner or later.  I can't think of anyone I would rather see replace him than Rich ... nah let me rephrase that - I would like to have been the one   

Kevin was absolute top dog for a long in time in BOINC.  Unfortunately due to RL issues with his business he had to at 1st cut down on his crunching and then with the accident that left him paralyzed he had to stop all together!  If you consider that Kevin hasn't really done any serious crunching in over 2 years it becomes apparent how big he was in the BOINC community.  Kevin made his mark when you couldn't buy a single GPU and make a million a day. 

I really miss Kevin.  He was a friend, mentor, and leader!!!!!!

Thanks Rick, it looks like I will finally get to the 2B mark .... took long enough

These are some amazing numbers we are talking about in this thread. Look at all the cpu stones!!  Simply amazing.  Congrats. to Rich.  and to Bryan.  KevinT, you are in my prayers.  Hope he can stop in one day and say hi.  This team is loaded with good friends and Big Dawgs in the crunching community.

When you think of the time in which he did so much of his work they are huge numbers. Kevin has not done hardly anything for two years and yet he still has the #1 team rank in all levels of projects below 25 million that is huge. He still has 67 top 100's, 31 top 10's. He has 19 maxwells, and 89 vaios. These numbers give you a hint to how far ahead of us he was back then.

Congratulations Rich that is a great achievement.

[Dr. Dan]

Those are some very great numbers and something to be very proud of. WTG guys.

One of my first goals when I joined SETI.USA was to get my combined total higher than Kevin's RAC, took me over a year.
