I don't know anyone mass buying V100s; it is just the example used to solve #120 because that is the type and number of cards that were used to solve #110 and #115.

I feel like #120 is going to be solved by large numbers of older cards lying around in people's garages somewhere, rather than with anything that can be rented with AWS or Vast. Even 100 of any high-end card just seems too expensive for someone with deep pockets to rent in the long run and you can get better results searching with a few thousand of people's Maxwell and Pascal cards (and even Radeons if Kangaroo ever gets ported to OpenCL).
Well, it will be me so I can tell you they are all RTX 20xx and 30xx, but I am using 1 GTX 1060 and 1 GTX 1050Ti to do the tedious work.  Wink

EDIT: I'm not running it full time, just here and there, so anyone really has a chance.

When you run kangaroo what are the speeds on the GTX 1060 and GTX 1050Ti?
