9th Birthday Challenge

This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.

As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.

PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue ;-)

Hi Searcher

I'll add UBT to this challenge - hopefully a few regular WCG crunchers will generate some good credits - and if a few other team members join in too, then we might be able to make a good effort for this.

regards

Tim

I've not done WCG for a while, so I'll join in the fray! (Could be the impetus to stagger over the 1m credits mark  :D )

Hi all,

AT LAST - I've remembered my WCG website password, so I've signed up the group for this challenge.

So, if you have any spare CPU power going unused, then feel free to switch over to the WCG projects and we'll see if we can do better this time :-)

regards
Tim

Hi all,

Another reason why UBT should be involved in this particular Crunchathon - it was on 17th November 2005, that UBT joined the WCG project....we've had over the 8 years, 457 members join the WCG project, of whom 416 are still members.

So, let's celebrate 8 years of UBT crunching for WCG as well :-)

Edit: And here's how we're doing (Temujins stats):

And Boincstats charts:

And finally some stats from the WCG website:

I'm helping out too :)
Even added the Tablet into the mix, since WCG supports Android.

WCG Crunchathon update 19th Nov 2013

Post by UBT - Timbo »

Hi all,

Just a quick update.

We're half way through the WCG Crunchathon and we're in 29th position, with 1,052,577 WCG credits.

By comparison, the 1st place team has 25,503,084 :-(

So, with luck, we might hit the 2 million mark by the 22nd....:-)

Keep on Crunching !!

regards
Tim

WCG Crunchathon update 21st Nov 2013

Post by UBT - Timbo »

Hi all,

Just a day or so to go, until the end of the WCG Crunchathon...

Position-wise, we're still in 29th place.....with 1,812,320 credits.

Somehow, I doubt we're going to significantly improve upon that by the time the Challenge ends tomorrow.

But you never know - there might be a few credits just waiting to be uploaded..... :scratch:

Keep on crunching :-)

regards
Tim

Hi all,

The WCG Challenge has now finished and we ended up in 28th position, with 2,625,082 credits...just over 35,000 behind the team in 27th place...and just over 35,000 in front of the team in 29th place :-)

So, if you were able to participate, many grateful thanks.

If you want to continue crunching for WCG projects, I've entered the team for a number of other challenges during November....so keep on crunching and we'll see how well we do HERE >>
