Despite this being the TSA Folding@home team’s new most foldingest month ever we have finally slipped into the realms of double-digit rank progresion.  That is not entirely surprising as the higher we climb the harder it gets to climb yet higher.  Still, we are only a few days away from passing a score of 5,000,000 and seeing that we can now rack up over 700,000 points in a month I wonder how long it will be before we have our first million-point month?

We only overcame one of our target teams last month, Zipper Interactive, developers of M.A.G.  We are folding faster than all the other teams on our list though, so as you can see from the table below assuming we can maintain our current rate of folding and they do not increase theirs we will have caught them all within the next nineteen years.

Another new record now we get down to the top folders over the month.  Last month RedStarGlow was the first of our folders to score 100,000 in a month and now they’ve passed the 150,000 points per month mark.  Glad I am not responsible for paying your electricity bill RedStarGlow.
