They still appear to have the 500 token bonus for flipping the breaker. I believe that's what they introduced when they stopped the point bonus.

Yes, they were looking for deeper savings. They haven't done that so far this year but who knows what they have in store. The only certainty is that things change.

Keep in mind that we're a long way away from that 1 Gigawatt savings goal anyhow...

MEGA OH's just started this week, so I'm assuming there will be a few hiccups at first while they get things smoothed out. @Elisha Bist-Braswell I would take @No Pain No Gain's advice found in the thread ohmhour notifications: how far in advance is best

@No Pain No Gain said:
Contact Support [email protected] and tell them what happened. If a large group of users aren't notified until the last minute, or even after the OhmHour starts, OC usually will put their Streak Shield icon on your OhmHour and you keep your streak. If you earned points, they are awarded. If you lost points, I believe they are set to zero so you don't lose points. If this is not what happened for you, contact Support.

@monraut, @lepohm @UkiwiS is correct Prize #OHs will be suspended shortly as Mega Summer 2019 kicks in but they will return once again in the Fall.

It's important to note that Prize OHs were created to allow our users the ability to participate in OhmHours continuously, all year round, particularly during the cooler months of the year when the Grid is not stressed and our ability to receive revenue is essentially non-existent. Just to give you a sense of how much variability there is with the energy market as influenced by seasonality/demand on the Grid, as I write this, the local market price per mWh at 4:53pm is $20.48 for the day-ahead market. Last summer the market price exceeded $400, at least 4 times and once it was in the $900 range.

I am also looking for a new Buddy in Pacifica or Daly City, and I think Colma, South San Francisco or San Bruno as well. My streak is 69. The Buddy I got assigned to didn't participate.

Now that we have an option for MEGA OH's only, can they develop an option for opting out of prize OH'S??
I had a total of 8 MEGA OH's in 2018 and I had 6 prize OH's since November. I would much rather have to option to opt out of prize OH's.
