Who else other than you has that kind of GPU power?
Those of us lucky to have 4 2080 Ti's have no chance of solving anything in time.

A lot of miners do, but we do not have a server with the much RAM available to solve the (110-bit interval) problem as fast as possible. So we need to come up with the best time-memory trade-off parameters. Also, I by far are more interested in the intellectual challenge, although the prize (in BTC) can be a very good motivator for some.

Why don't you focus on the harder 115 and 120 bit problems and give the smaller people a chance? You have 20-30 times the GPUs of most people here.
