Keep reading haha. I stalled at 46 ops, can’t get much higher than like 48 even with the grey boxes (w/e they’re called).

And $7B in investments was really only bc that’s all I could do. No available projects in reach so I just dumped it all in investments and keep it on high risk.

    yea I didn't even have the REMOTEST understanding of what that was... other than just like it was this little sort of side game that almost played in a slot machine-type way to build up those credits to then apply to something else

    and see I think I did that mostly because, well, I thought fuck it this isn't real, so lemme just see how much money I can build up and withdrawal in one go

    ruh roh... sounds like you may be veering more closer toward my path than how the other guys fared. But, again, now we definitely know the way to just crash it all and start over...

    I think the highest on ops I ever got to was like 20k. and well, for Processors and Memory, usually I would try to keep those more or less even, when got the chance to augment I'd go one more on Proc, then one more Memory, and so on. But so you guys think that's not as important? it's beneficial to have one much more than the other? (and I'm kinda guessing if so, then go steep on Memory... ?)

    damn, even I never went close to that high Well I mean, yea something like that toward the end when I knew I was trying to scrap it so just changing amounts for the hell of it. But no even when I was still trying to play "properly", the highest price per clip I had set for an extended period I think was about $3, at the most.

    I went too heavy on OPS and now the second part is taking for fucking ever because I don't have enough processors. Trying to build 50k Creat with only 14 processors is not fun.

    I'm going to let mine run overnight. I'm at 39 processors and 62 memory, maybe by morning I'll have enough trust built up to buy enough memory to get to 70k so I can unlock Hypnodrones. Literally the only project available to me right now.

    You'll never get there from 62 with just clips getting you Trust, with how the cost goes up exponentially.

    I mean, if I can get to like 66-67 ops I should be able to do it with quantum computing.

    I don't really have any choice. There's no other way to get ops.
