6,750,000 credits in 675,000 seconds Crunch!

Post by **UBT - Mikee** » Sat Mar 05, 2011 1:16 pm

At time of writing we have 6,394,534 credits at SIMAP. At the current rate we'll get to 7,000,000 on April 8 2011 - just over a month away - 605,466 to go.

Our RAC (Recent Average Credit) is currently 17,000 and dropping rapidly - probably to around 5,000 - so getting a realistic target is a wee bit of a problem!

Ah what the heck...

The first target for the first Crunch of 2011 is...

To get to 6.75 million credits in 675,000 seconds!

Put another way we'll need 355,000(ish) credits in 187.5 hours or 7.5 days! That means our RAC will have to increase to 47,395!

The Crunch will officially start at 19:00 6th March 2011 and end 7:00 14th March GMT/UTC

Pre-start stats.

Code: Select all

UK#1 = TSBT with 6,919,630
UK#2 = UKBT with 6,394,534

World#33 = TitanesDC with 6,830,869
World#34 = UKBT      with 6,394,534
Difference of 436,335

-------------------------------------------

Target is 675,000 - 355,466 to go.
Current RAC = 17,588
RAC needs to increase to 47,395 (1,974/hour)

A big ask but who wants an easy target!!

I've signed up and attached to SIMAP, and set my other CPU projects to no new work, so I should be mostly ready for tomorrow's start.

We're off!

Anyone who wants to join in at anytime is very welcome!

Output will take a couple of days to increase significantly due to the quorum requirements.

Now I'm a (very) part time cruncher, I won't be able to add very much.
But I will add what I can.

The first update is always the complicated one!

Anyway, despite the expected slow start, due to quorum requirements, things are moving a lot quicker than I expected.

I would suggest an extra week on this after the target, just to build a good buffer up.

So despite my thoughts that this might be a bit hard to achieve you only went and did it with 2.5 days to spare!

Right then! I've got you for another couple of days - what to do? If we carry on at the current rate we'll get to 6,975,149 Sunday evening - not a nice figure - a nicer figure would be 7 million! Hmm... TSBT would get there just before us.

Introducing the...

UKBT Triple Two Day Takeover!!

Let's see you get this lot then!

Target 1 = Overtake TitanesDC
Target 2 = Overtake TSBT
Target 3 = Get 7 million!

You have 'til 20:00 (UTC/GMT) 13th March

or Monday? or is the UKBT Triple Two Day Takeover (great name by the way Mikee) a separate challenge?

Post by **UBT - Mikee** » Sat Mar 12, 2011 11:42 am

Originally it would have ended Monday morning which would have been good for 675,000 seconds but not very friendly, as not many members would have been around for the end (including me!). Sunday evening would see more people able to see if we can get to 7 million and more challanging to get to the target.

It's not a separate challange - just a continuation of the original after the first target had been achieved.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. :)

Difference of 31,564

Target #2

44 members contributing.

Current 24 hour RAC = 3,841 = 96,025 credits over the next 25 hours!

Looks like we'll get target 1, limp past target 2 and miss target 3 by 25,845. However, you could prove me wrong or we could just rely on 'pendings' to take us over.

Target #1 - Achieved

World#33 = TitanesDC with 6,919,474
World#34 = UKBT      with 6,974,674
Difference of -55,200

-------------

Target #2 - Missed

UK#2 = UKBT with 6,974,674
Difference of 35,462

-------------

Target #3 7,000,000 - 25,326 to go. Missed

Sooo close!

However, if we take 'pendings' into account we should have easily got all three targets.

Target 1 is done.
Target 2 would have needed another 9 hours.
Target 3 would have needed another 6 hours.

If I had kept the original 7AM tomorrow finish then we would have made it, suppose we could ignore this finish time if we wanted too though - no ones watching! :twisted:
