15mo after I started this thread I'd doubled my E@H total from just 75M to 150,006,877 (yes I've been compulsively reloading all afternoon waiting for the tick over), and picked up maybe 2M more on other projects for an overall total of 251.7M.
During that time I've replaced one of my old desktops with a new one that's about 2x as fast (old one died), and am planning to bring a second similarly specced one online soon. which should hopefully let me finally claw my way into the top 100 accounts. A new GPU for gaming later this year should also bump my overall rates up (by tricking cards down to my other boxes).
OTOH my oldest box will probably go offline over the summer to keep my AC in check; so while I might be able to get another doubling in the next year and a half or so I won't be threatening Gary Roberts status as the top non-institutional cruncher anytime soon. :D
Ended up only taking 13mo to double my E@H total to 300M, and also about 8M more across other projects for not quite 410m BOINC wide. Most of the latter is from backup projects kicking in when BRP4/5 ran out; but I've been tossing a bit of CPU time at projects I only ran briefly years ago to get my ranks there out of the nosebleed section; I might ramp that up a bit with GW tasks running out (running Fermi on my CPUs when the GPU apps are out is kinda wasteful).
The Fermi GPU tasks are running fast enough that I'm only about 10 months from my next E@H doubling. Maybe sooner if I upgrade my oldest box; the GTX 770 in it was about half or two thirds as fast as my GTX980 at BRP4/5, but is barely 25% of it on Fermi. OTOH that box might get a 4 month nap over the summer to keep my AC bill down.
592.6m E@H, 707M boincwide. The E@H number is deliberate, not my missing a target because Steffen Grunewald, for Merlin/Morgane (aka the first 2 E@H server clusters) is at 592 million and I just overtook that account. I picked up ~4m on my other projects, some of it from old/oddball hardware that doesn't run here well or at all; but mostly during the window when there weren't any GW tasks earlier in the year. I put my CPU power on my assorted backup projects to get my standing in most of them out of the nosebleed section. SETI isn't there yet, but since hitting a top 10k theshold there would need another 6+ million credits that's not going to happen quickly without something giving me a reason to send my GPU power away for a while.
There weren't any major tech upgrades in my setup since this spring, just at the bottom of my box stack I retired my under-performing GTX770 with an RX560.
My ETA for 1bn is 11 months from now (16mo for a doubling to 1.2bn); but next summer will probably see a GTX1180 (2080?) or Vega2 card upgrading my main gaming box and pushing other cards down the stack. That'd pull my next milestone forward a few months. OTOH if elderly i7-930 box dies I probably won't be replacing it, which'd slow me down by about the same.

I was hoping to get to a significant milestone before year's end but it'll be a day or three into the new year before it happens :-). Unless, of course, a whole bunch of people decide to eliminate all my 11,000+ pendings in a very big hurry :-). Just can't see that happening though :-).
I'd like to thank all participants who support Einstein and wish you all the best for 2018.

Congratulations to everyone on their new Milestones!!
An even dozen years with E@H

An even dozen years with E@H as of today. Got off to a later start than some of you.
Plus SETI Classic = 21,082 WUs
500 million. WOOT!! Grats
