Please help with the Catch Up Screen

Post by UBT - JohnR »

I was looking at the BoincStats combined team page
http://boincstats.com/stats/boinc_team_ ... pr=bo&st=0
and have a problem working out the total with reference to our Team Catch Up page

The totals are          Total              Credit/Day

Russia                  24,714,162          94,034
LittleWhiteDog       24,126,318          23,616
Hungary                24,119,900          54,404
UK Boinc               23,818,368          68,112
Team CF               23,707,108            3,496

This shows that yesterday we were about 300,000 behind Hungary, but the catch up screen has us 1,004,430 behind. The Boincsynergy combined page also has us only about 300,000 behind as well.

By now Hungary will have stomped on LWD and we are due to do the same in a few days.

Have you seen the LittleWhiteDog web site with a flashing sign that "You have won our hourly prize" -
who do the stupid bastards think that they are fooling - whenever I see that I close the browser and check for spyware etc.

I'll be glad when we can stomp the dirty grey mongrel when we pass it too.

This shows that yesterday we were about 300,000 behind Hungary, but the catch up screen has us 1,004,430 behind. The Boincsynergy combined page also has us only about 300,000 behind as well.
The simple explanation is this:

There are TWO teams named "Hungary" listed on "BOINCStats" - both are crunching for Predictor.

One has 700,000 credits, the other has 50.

We have assumed the "worst case" that the "Hungary" team that has the same members crunching on different projects has got the 700,000 total on Predictor.

But some of the stats website have assumed that the Hungary team with 50 credits is linked to the "other" Hungary team projects.

And having looked at some of the actual projects, it seems that some of the "Hungary" teams have different "founders" which means they might not all be the same team anyways...!

I see what you mean, looks like the stats sites have it wrong, Predictor with
700,000 has names in common with Rosetta and other projects.
It must be a nightmare when projects have teams with country names being
created by different people. And there should be no duplicate names.
Predictor should kill the name with 50 credits to avoid confusion.
