|
|
I'm bringing the assimilator down for a bit to make some updates. Unfortuantely one of those is we're lowering the credit awarded. After talking to Dave Anderson we're generating about
twice the amount of credit per work compared to SETI and that's the benchmark we're going to be using. Especially in light of new faster applications, we're reducing the credit generated by about
half to keep things in line with other projects. We'll probably doing some more adjustment (if this turns out to be too harsh), and will definitely be doing some more when the new version of the
application comes out (hopefully this week). I'm gonna start up a search with some more expensive WUs so hopefully that will help keep the server load down and work flowing better.--Travis

3x+1 seems to be the only outrageously high credit project left at the moment, now that Ramsey & MW have abrogated their responsibilities to the 'ho's.
That must be why John Galt & ohiomike are doing it - they're trying to run away from me.
But Patience, Perseverence and Dedication will win through - I'll get them next summer, when it gets too hot for them to run their rigs!!

3X+1? Which project is that? What do they do? Is that a Boinc project? _________________ Fetch me the Holy Hand Grenade!
