Ok so I have finally officially reached over 20,000 credits total according to free-dc (I'm sure my sig will update eventually) Yes I know this may not seem like a big number comparatively, but I've only been shrubbing since the end of February of this year so 20,000 in this amount of time is quite good i think

The numbers are fun, what counts is having a shoulder to the wheel.

Excellent work.

As both Wabbit and I will testify, it has taken both of us almost 10 years to reach our 1st Million Razz

Its the taking part that counts.

The first million seems to take forever! After that, they come at you faster (if you luck into a GPU, then you get them even faster than that!)

Well unless that happens it will take about another decade to reach 2 million. If BOINC is even still around by then.

Ni! Stooper, i'm ready. Bring on the goat, I shall win. As for earning more credits i'm still shrubbing on some boinc projects as well as boosting my numbers in the PG PSA stuff so that should give me a nice chunk of hedging when it comes in. But ya since this comp is now several years old i'm thinking that probably sooner rather than later i'll end up with a new one in which case i'll have a proper GPU

Its funny how things have changed over the years.

In the beginning long before I became a Kaniggit, I used to try to tweak my puter (an old 400mhz machine) to munch up Seti WU's as fast as possible. Averaged 1 WU every 31 hrs and did 351 of those in 18 months for a grand total of .... Da Daaaaaa

you got it

351 points. It took 18 months Razz

Boy was I shifting fast in those days. Class of April 7th 2002 and held 25th position for most of the time I was able to shrub in those days. Boy I sweated over how to catch up the leaders.

For a while (about 4 years) I suffered with a lot of angst because I was not able to get online and do any shrubbing. The next time I got online The Knights Who Say NI was the obvious team to join, so joined them in Sept 2006. Sadly the puter gods had it in their minds that I would continue to suffer with all kinds of puter related plagues and was forced to abandon shrubbing after a short while for another 4 years after putting in a stunning performance and gaining about 40k more shrubs. Yayy Very Happy

Managed to return because of the Loo Knee magnet in November last year and took the total up to about 260k when the puter gods deemed it was time to smite me down with another plague for 2 months.

At the end of May I managed to return (for how long this time? I don't know) with this new super duper monster shrubber sporting 6 x 3666mhz cores have even amazed myself by producing another 700k in 3 months pushing me to within grasp of my first mill Errrk. (I hope that GOAT does not come and piddle on my million shrubs)

Please note I only do CPU shubbing and don't have a GPU. Still clocking my machines. This is is clocked from 3333mhz to 3666mhz. Tiny compared to what I used to do Lol.
