Hi Brian,

I posted a comment in the original thread, and then realized it might be missed because someone would have to search for that thread in order to see the new comment. So I thought I'd repeat my post here...

I didn't participate in optimization challenge #2, but would be interested in seeing what others did to raise the living standard of the default profile. Have revised databases been posted somewhere for all to download and view? I don't recall seeing any posts discussing the strategies that others used to optimize the living standard of the default profile.

Late in 2014, we had the 1st "optimization challenge" to see how much an ESPlanner profile could be optimized. The idea is to experiment and learn from each other on how to get more out of ESPlanner and to apply these insights for our own profiles. Given the complexity and power of the software, it is almost a certainty that you can increase your living standard and/or reduce your risk through making different (optimized) choices.

Just curious if others would be interested to see how/how much various profiles could be optimized. Sort of a challenge or game where we could learn from each other on how to get more out of ESPlanner and potentially to apply these insights for our own profiles. If this worked out, a new challenge could be posted once every couple of months or some other frequency.
