That I do not know yet, for you are not a member of the S@H crunching team. You are not a member of any S@H team yet.
See: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/show_use ... id=8768631
So there are two possibilities:
1. you join the crunch team of UK BOINC Team.
2. The teamcaptain does, or does not allow you to join the Gauntlet.

What will it be?    :)

It may be worth remembering that Seti uses a wingman to check the results.

This leads to a delay in getting credits for any work done (I'm still waiting for one of my wingmen to complete a WU I returned at the start of August!)

It might be worth starting crunching a few days early to be able to have results being validated by the time the guantlet starts.

Name : Daniel
ID : 8876248

I'm off on hols for the next week, so I won't be around for the first day or two of the challenge... I've a machine with close to 24/7 uptime though so if I just set it going before I leave on SETI and nothing else, it'll just... work?

Cannot do that because......
Credit is only received for those wu's that are given out at the start of the gauntlet. Otherwise ppl would be stock piling wu's ;)

That's not what the Seti@Nl page says, it just mentions taking the stats from when the gauntlet starts until it finishes. It specifically states that cheating is possible with nearly completed WUs stockpiled.

Not that I was proposing that, just that the flow of credits for Seti are not instant and will be delayed if you don't start early.

Anyway, if you crunched just for the gauntlet and your wingman didn't return them in time you'd get nothing!

I thought I'd read that, too, although I'd at first assumed that the length of the gauntlet challenge was to allow for WUs to be crunched and the wingman to do a good number as well.

Does seem to make the challenge less of a challenge if you can manipulate it in this way.

It also says that Seti@Nl would hope that people will enter into the spirit of the Gauntlet and not cheat! Anyone wanting to win in such a way is a sad git and deserve to have their PSU blow up! :evil:

Welcome to the Team, Dan! :D
The 'scoring' starts from the first set of stats released from Seti after the Gauntlet starts, so you can start crunching Seti before the 25th Sept and leave it running and you'll not miss a day of the challenge! 8)

Don't worry, I'm not accusing anyone of cheating, not least my own team mates! :shock:

I understand your concern on the possibilities of someone to cheat on the Gauntlet. I assure you that Seti@Nl will be looking out for signs of cheating!

No worries Bob, I won't blow up your shiny new PSU!    :wink:  :lol:  :lol:

I'm starting to crunch Seti wu's and wind down on other wu's starting on the 20th Sept. That gives me 5 days to finish any large wu's from other projects before the Gauntlet begins. Bear in mind I'm only crunching on one quad and a duo laptop! :D

Some were asking (via MSN) which Seti wu's were valid for the Gauntlet. I've just received the answer from the Seti@Nl forum that ALL Seti wu's are valid! So get those GPU cards working overtime, team! :D

As I said before, the Gauntlet is a marathon. If you can keep crunching at a steady rate and those around you drop off, go to another project or turn a machine off, then you will rise up the rankings!

You have been warned before MR Mucky Bones, any attempts to outwit me could result in me throwing my toys outta the pram!!!!!

Hi Dan, it's 'Position Change' in days, the number of days it's going to take you to catch the person ahead of you. If you have no entry, it means you're being caught up!

Congratulations with your "P.C." of today. :)

:idea:  If you hover with your mouse over the "P.C." you can read the date when it will happen.
:idea: If you click on your "No." you will see your P.C. with all others.

8th = UBT - bobuk (-1)

9th = Rockinfroggi

10th = Woodles

11th = UBT - Mikeejones

12th = UBT - Liamlee

13th = UBT - Ben

In short. The Team has gained a place. Cruncher of the Day** goes to Woodles for gaining 12 places. Darren has overtaken Bob in the Lucky 13, and there's still 20 days left!

(**Cruncher of the Day goes to the Team member gaining the most places in the Individual Positions!)

A shiny new no-prize! Congratulations!

Congratulations team also I didn't expect us to take that place, I must not be paying enough attention.

Just for fun I normalized today's stats by # active team members.

The position stats explained are:

Position [True Position / Difference]

A positive difference is good, meaning the team is underperforming in the true ranks because of their lack of members. A negative difference means the converse, ie they are earning less credits per individual than some of those teams below them, but have their position due to their greater numbers.

Code: Select all

07/10/2009 07:46:05 Project communication failed: attempting access to reference site
07/10/2009 07:46:08 Internet access OK - project servers may be temporarily down.
07/10/2009 07:46:09 SETI@home Scheduler request failed: Couldn't connect to server

and throughout all of yesterday was seeing messages about maintenance etc :/ are others getting WUs?

It's a conspiracy I tell ya, Keith sabotaged the servers just to get a share of the hobnobs!!  :P

Hi Dan, similar messages but I started getting new WUs late yesterday afternoon.

Sadly, the Seti servers are always down on Tuesday mornings for maintenance and then spend the rest of the day (or days sometimes!) trying to catch up again. If you don't have any WU by now then you probably won't get any more before tomorrow :(

12th = UBT - Liamlee

13th = UBT - Ben


In short. No wonder Mikee is CotD today! He's leapfrogged (sorry!) both Rockinfroggi and Bob! Timby and Keith both continue to close in on Temujin in the Individual Positions.


Keep Crunching! :D

Nice one, Mikee!

Just a word about the Tuesday outage. I've just upped my cache to 5 days and now have around 80 wu's. Hopefully this will cover the outage and any unforeseen downtime afterwards.

I would advise all Lucky 13 members to do this as we don't want another repeat of last weeks drop in credits! :evil:

Mmmmmm, decisions, decisions .....

I have a GTX295 gpu which is suspect - might work, might not. Do I try to get it to work, in a machine with a marginal psu, and make a last minute dash for glory .... or leave well alone until I have more time to sort it out???

Decisions, decisions!!  :?
