Help uFluids

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 ;-)

Help uFluids

Post by UBT - Rick Horn »

The UBT uFluids team were already the #1 team in the UK before I joined, and we are currently at 17th position in the world, not at all bad with only 39 members. We are not in any danger of losing our #1 UK slot, but the OT stats do not look good in the world rankings, and we will lose the 17th position within days.
As uFluids cheerleader I am asking for your support for this project. If just a few more UBT members could spare a fraction of their crunching time to us, I believe we could rise up in the world rankings quite easily. Thank you in anticipation for your support.

Kindest regards,

Rick.

Must admit it's a long time since I did any of these! So, as soon as my SAPD WU is finished, I'll do a few days of these.

[edit] Then I saw the SAPD thread! Suppose I'll have to do both then!

Thought the credits were a bit mean for this until I worked it out.

Very rough estimate of 250credits/24 hours on this machine which is actually a little bit more generous than SETI! (they're around 210credits/24 hours).

Many thanks to all UBT members who responded to my "call to arms". Perhaps we might be able to stop the rot.  :thumbright:

Yes - A guy called Samppa has just joined (making a total of 4!) and he's putting on over 2000 credits/day. Hope he gets bored and goes over to another project soon! :D

Good little Shaman has joined the uFluids gang and is going to taste those lovely WUs for a while. I've been offline a while as I was moving house and my other projects are not letting me download WUs for the moment anyway.

So I shall play with uFluids tasks. Mmmmmm .... Crunchy!  :roll:

It`s a new idea for the UBT team. Judging by the results I`m getting, it seems to be working a treat. As far as I know, there are only 2 projects that have cheerleaders. If you`re in to that sort of thing, I`m sure Tim (UBT - Timbo) would be only too delighted to appoint you a cheerleader of some project of your choice.

Ok..it's worth a try..but, see, I'd only do it if I was allowed to wear the outfit and sing 'Hey Mickey!' like Lolly did in that video...

Hi R

You can wear WHATEVER you want if it means you keep on crunching away.... :D

We don't need to see the photo's as proof either  :oops:

And if you want to "cheerlead" for a specific project, just let me know which one and you'll be instantly upgraded - but you'll have to work hard to keep said title......just coz you're wearing a tu-tu, doesn't mean you are always a cheerleader... :wink:

Some good news at last. We are just about to overtake Poland to regain some lost ground. Our RAC is now much more healthy, there are quite a few teams above us which have considerably lower RACs then we have and if our efforts are maintained, we should rocket up the charts in a few weeks.

I am amazed at the positive response from all of you, and if it were possible, I would buy you all a pint! As it is, have a pint or two anyway.
Well done guys, and keep uo the good work.

Kindest regards,

Rick.   :occasion5:
