I decided... to basically break the system. Started a fresh account in which I didn't spend any money to speed it up, since it was just a fun side project.
Well... it's JUST about nearing completion (figure about a week more until done) and I wanted to show you guys a sneak peak at what was soon headed to the top of the leader boards.
Here's my setup as of today.
Here's my programs
So basically... my "done" moment will be core 12 / lvl 21 beams / probably lvl 5ish ice wall (won't need much higher than that) and I'm going to flesh out my network in a pretty interesting way to prevent losing rep unless people REALLY want to take it.
After all is said and done... I should be about lvl 32
At which point...I won't upgrade anything else...and sit at the low 30's and just rep farm...basically able to chain hack constantly because of only using a few beams per attack 
It's gonna be interesting I could have easily stopped at core 11 / lvl 20 beams... and basically stayed WELLLLL below lvl 30(prolly would have ended at like 27)... but I just wanted the "oh my god lvl 21 beams" factor when hacking networks that basically have nothing to stop you.
It's fun making 10-15k profit per hack over and over again
