Keep the challenge on schedule as it is. If there is no stat on day 1 but on day 2, then all stats will be based on day 2 onwards. I'm not sure if and when they do manage to recover the failed drive, it will still include previously both the hourly and daily numbers. Usually there is a spike in the output like bunker drop, iirc. It will include stats outside the challenge period, so we should ignore it. What do you think?
The good thing is that no one knows when they will fix the failed drive, so best to continue folding during the challenge period and not try to time when the stats will be up
