KWSN Orbiting Fortress

I was just reminded we decided to start the July vote early, mainly in case we choose a small project that needs advance warning. So here's the initial list

Quest for # 1 in Distributed Data Mining
ABC
Edges (non vault
Einstein
Folding / non-boinc
Majestic 12 / non-boinc
Malaria Control
Milky Way
Muon 1
Vacation - No PotM

Last month Al Dente mentioned the following candidates - have we done research to see if any are stable enough or of interest?

Constellation (~½ requested credit, validation delay can be quite long)

Mersanne (yet another primes project, ~ requested credit)

DNA@home (~ 2x requested credit)

Moo!Wrapper (GPU project, doing the same as DNETC, quite good credit)

Any other ideas? Seems like we enjoy exploring more obscure projects, but perhaps it is time to open the vote back up to projects that have already been PotM?

Moo!Wrapper added CPU, so it has both.

DNA@home is not releasing enough work to cover our needs at this time.

Has Chess ever been PoTM?

We had talked about Cosmology a while back, but the project seemed to be on auto pilot and more than one complaint was heard (and not answered) in their forums. Has anyone tried it lately? Are they back on track?

Still seems to be complaints on the message boards and no response from admin. Confused

OK so how's about this list:

Quest for # 1 in Distributed Data Mining
ABC
Constellation
Edges / non vault
Einstein
Folding / non-boinc
Majestic 12 / non-boinc
Malaria Control
Mersanne
Milky Way
Moo!Wrapper
Muon 1
Vacation - No PotM

Looking at Constellation, it appears they increased their low credit rate closer to the Boinc average recently. Admin appears to be very responsive on their message board. KWSN is in 81st place with 7407 points, is there any interest in this project?

Since Michael Weber of RNA World has been so helpful with June's PotM, maybe we could invite admins of projects we are favoring to join in the discussion. It would give them a chance to understand what we are doing and how much crunching power we will be bringing to the project we pick. We would have a better idea of the project's goals and could make a more informed decision. Constellation seems interesting to me and is on my shortlist right now.

Interesting that Chess is active again. I thought it died a long time ago.

*goes and adds it back*

We could do SETi Beta, they have plenty of work. It would surprise the SETI people.

We are currently ranked 15th in Seti Beta behind some group calling themselves The Final Front Ear in 14th however they are only roughly 100,000 credits ahead of us which could be easily overtaken i'm thinking.

The Musky Hounds (I mean musketeers) are participating in constellation but they are way ahead of us.

We are ranked 82nd while the hounds are sitting in 11th so there is plenty of room to improve there. Which projects will continue to help us move up in FB as well?

Or since it is the middle of summer. Take a vacation.

Another idea is something we used to do back in the Folding, Genome, and Distributed Folding days. Randomly join a small team and crunch for them and then come back to the Knights. Though in those days you could take your credit with you, so at times the Knights would have no credit and some minor team would shoot up all the way.

I guess we could just take a break and come back in August and see what needs shrubbing if we don't want to do anything this month. Rabbits other idea would be funny too lol #ni-1
