(1/3) Good morning friends,

I know I've spammed you a lot lately about my entry in the 2018 Hackaday Prize, so this will be the last ask, I promise 😇

The challenge my project is competing in closes on Monday, April 23rd and the top 20 entries (based on "likes") will move-on to the finals and receive $1000. Currently my project is at #13 on the leaderboard:

(2/3) If you haven't already, it would be super awesome of you to visit my project page and "like" it. This will require creating an account which I know is a pain, but you'd be doing me a big favor:

RAIN Mark II Personal Supercomputer

RAIN is an open-source project to design and build open, efficient, and accessible supercomputers. RAIN&apos;s mission is to make supercomputing accessible to a wider and more diverse audience and encourage the development of new, innovating and compelling high-performance applications.This <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://Hackaday.io">Hackaday.io</a> project is focused on the RAIN Mark II Personal Supercomputer. The goal of this phase of the RAIN project is to create a small, inexpensive computer with the same architecture as a large scale cluster to facilitate learning and the development of new high-performance applications while making owning and operating the system accessible to a wide-range of programmers, designers and users.Completion of the Mark II PSC will provide a platform for research &amp; development on the next phase of the project to make the design even more open (switch from ARM to RISC-V) and more powerful.

(3/3) Maybe things will suddenly pick-up near the end of the challenge, but right now if my project can even hold its place on the board it will make it into the finals I'll have the resources I need to finish my prototype and potentially build a second "release candidate" that will form the basis of a kit (which there seems to be some interest for).

This will dramatically accelerate my work and could be the starting point for my own computer company (hey, aim high right? 😁).
