SETI@Home Wow!-Event 2019

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 Damien

Great stuff - welcome to the WOW! event.

It'll be interesting to see how many credits you can amass in the short time left. ;-)

Of course, the fact that some tasks will require a wingman to "validate" your returned work, might mean that some credits will not be awarded prior to the closing deadline.

So, the full power of your Titans might not be totally unleashed ;-)

Tim

Yes, validation will be a killer. Let's see how it goes!

A great Team effort from all concerned...ncoded gains our #1 place (for our Team) with just over 7 million credits and also gets to #28 (out of 696) in the overall Wow! Participant standings !! So, well done to ncoded for his supreme efforts !!

Code: Select all

Posn	Team		Credits
8	Raccoon Lovers	19,210,860
9	CNT		14,927,404
10	SETI.USA	12,889,306
11	TKWSN		12,715,232
12	C@EVGA		10,311,929
13	UBT		9,936,716 **
So, 13th (out of 88) teams this year, which is an exceptionally good result, though if we didn't have ncodeds superb effort, we'd have only 2,921,869 credits, putting us down in about 26th place.

And BIG thanks to everyone who contributed to the effort and maybe next year we can do better ;-)

regards
Tim

PS:

In other results:

The UK registered members came 3rd (out of 37) countries:

Code: Select all

1	United States 	(156)	351,720,600
2	Germany 	(208)	121,676,037
3	United Kingdom 	(44)	77,906,783
4	France 		(24)	61,073,659
And for the groups:

Code: Select all

1	Taurus 		(67)	162,702,653
2	Pisces 		(39)	111,335,477
3	Capricornus 	(67)	108,497,445
So. congrats to ~ Daniel ~ and CaroleB for helping your group become the #1 Group in 2019. Also congrats to Chris Oliver for helping Capricornus achieve 3rd place.

Hi Damien

Well, you did pretty good:

28 Aug 2019 - 18,666 credits (11:00 to 24:00 UTC = 13 hours) = 1,435 credits per hour
29 Aug 2019 - 46,547 credits (00:00 to 16:00 UTC = 16 hours) = 2,909 credits per hour

So, over the 14 day (336 hour) period, you might have got close to around 1 million credits (and based on the likelihood that your 2nd days worth of credits included some credits that were crunched on the 1st day before and then validated on the 2nd day).

That's well worth the effort ;-)

So, thanks for joining in :-)

regards
Tim
