I've tried to keep it fairly even amongst projects. I'm heavily favoring WCG now as it's a pretty broad project in and of itself, so it's my #1 at over 1.6m. MilkyWay is, of course, now my #2 and rapidly advancing on WCG (and will only get worse as I add more cards in the nearish future). The rest I've been working on a bit at a time trying to get them all to 500k, which is why SETI has stalled. Eventually I'll try bringing them all up to 1m.

It's amazing how fast it's going now. 3 years to my first million, 15 months to my second, just 3 months to my 3rd, and just 2 to my 4th (slowed down a bit after that). Now with MilkyWay and the various CUDA projects a million a month isn't unheard of, and some of our top shrubbers are pushing several hundred thousand every day. What a fun time to be a Kanigit!

Edit: Updated title for 8m!

I am still working on my first million. Congrats on your record of 7 million.

While still unofficial, I have broken 8m and should today beat my all time best place today as well (currently 1190, 1184 best). That's got to be the fastest reclaiming of 500 positions ever hehe.

Current Credit (based on incremental update) 8,001,078.51
Comprising 7,978,702.95 from the daily update
+ 22,375.55 since then
BOINC World position based on credit (based on incremental update) 1,190 out of 1,742,947
Highest World position ever 1184 at 2009-01-09

As mentioned in another thread my X2 3800 is belly up at the moment. Budgeting prevents me from upgrading/replacing my current system (to kick down my old one as the X2 replacement) so I'm going to build a new Phenom quad core on the cheap(ish). Look forward to that coming online in the next week (again, hopefully).

Are you using illegal performence enhancing steriods on your farm? Man your credit is expanding faster than kudzu.

ME? Pfft, either of those two loonies who already replied and outdoing my production exponentially hehe. I need more video cards. Twisted Evil

PS: Currently position 1185 based on incremental update. 1 more to go!

We'll see what the changes tonight do. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a 50% reduction in credit. But still, I'm forced to simply say "Darn, only 40k/day." It's not like I can throw much of a fit for a $120 graphics card that would still be out producing 20 computers.

I wonder why my stats sig is not working, I have no clue what CPID I am using for it anyway.

Don't think they've made any credit changes yet, the admin hasn't posted anything further. I believe the drop off in daily was from the down time.

As for being stuck with your computers, I hear ya. Computers just happen to be my 2nd highest priority (after cars lol) so they get a lot of my time and most of my money. I'm already building a replacement for the X2 3800 that died (even though it's shrubbing as we speak, I have no way to actually use the computer). It'll be a tad better (lol) but I did manage to refrain going crazy. Probably be 2 weeks before I can afford all the bits, but the whole system will cost less than just the video cards going into my next system so that's not too bad hehe.

My RAC didn't take a hit from the down time. I had enough WUs and other projects that the down time was not a factor.

I'm not sure. Travis' post made me think it's going to be a drop in credit for work. Hope you're interpretation is correct, though. I guess I've been waiting for the shoe to drop for the past few weeks, but it's not like there are hundreds of people out there wracking up 100k plus per day in MW, so I don't know what the big deal is.

Edited the other post too.

As per RAC, the CPU app wouldn't unless you weren't caching. The GPU app will only give you something like 6 WUs/core, so at most I have about 8 minutes of work cached. Most of the time it's only got 3 WUs cached, so 60 seconds after the servers go down I stop crunching.

Adam,

I agree, he said a credit adjustment was likely coming. It just hasn't been done yet. I imagine it's going to be fairly minor, maybe 10%, because the credit system they're using IS based on the standard. Hell, even if it was 50% it'd still be worth crunching (on the GPU anyways).

John,

And why I'm so grumpy about Enigma being stupid and messing up the scheduler. I'm getting almost exactly 1 credit/second from MW. Even if only 1 Enigma WU pegs the scheduler and takes a half hour to let go that's 1,800 points lost for the day. That wouldn't be so bad, but it's rarely just 1 WU, and it keeps right on stacking them up so that it's getting 100% BOINC time despite my resource share, app switching, and work queuing settings. I wrote them a rant about it, but yet to see any reply.

I know what you mean about Enigma, or any CPU based project...it effs up MW, and when you can pull 500k a day, that means alot...

Not that I am pulling 500k a day, but you know what I mean... Shocked

Credit Hoes Unite!!!! #ni-1
