Hi Chris

Well spotted :)

Now, if we can help to get YOU going with an ASIC, then you too can help get us into maybe 8th...or even 7th !!

Team China is just about 8 billion ahead of us, and TSBT are about 5 billion.

So, with a bit of luck (and a lot of crunching), we can maybe catch up with them in the next few weeks.

It's going to take a BIG effort though to catch up with the 6th placed team,  BOINC@Taiwan, who are nearly 50 billion ahead...but at last in all three cases, we are out-scoring them daily, so we will close on them one day !!

Now, how soon do you want a U2 ASIC to get you started??

regards
Tim

8th in the World

Post by UBT - Mikee »

We just overtook China to get to 8th in the World!

http://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/team/list/

Next up is TSBT, to 7th, then drop down to 8th again as Black Ops overtake in a couple of weeks but should regain 7th as we overtake BOINC@Taiwan!

An interesting few weeks coming up then!

Heading towards a bit of a rollercoaster ride for the next couple of weeks but we're going the right way overall :)

Hi Mike,

It's going to take a while to overtake BOINC@Taiwan - they are 30 billion ahead of us, although we are out-crunching them at a rate of around 1.5 billion per day.....so, in around 20 days we might be pretty close.

Sadly, I think BlackOps would have passed us before we overtake B@T :(

But overall 7th place is fine and dandy with me :)

regards

According to Boincstats prediction buttons, year end puts us in 7th place by total credit and 3rd by RAC :shock: So next year should see even more improvements :D

Hi Mark,

I think for 2015, we need to try and consolidate our world position -= however, I'm also mindful of the leccy costs of keeping ASIC's crunching away 24/7.

So, there's no "pressure" on anyone to carry on as they are....and in fact I'd much rather prefer we get others involved, in order to share the cost amongst a greater number of team members.

The issue will be of course TSBT and when they want to take over the #1 UK spot....as I can see that it might "see-saw" between them and us for a while. ;)

Well, We Are 8th Now, and will be 7th in the world and 1st in UK by the end of today - guarenteed!!!

P.S. Tim - I'll help to carry the team to victory! Also, I will get an ASIC asa - after the iPad.

Now 7th in the World!

Next target is Team Musketeers in around 2 months - providing they don't start Bitcoin.

You're right - better than I thought! Though it may take a little longer than 6 days.  :twisted:

We are now back to 7th place in the world rankings having just passed BOINC@Taiwan.

:wav: :wav:

3DNow are the next team above us but I think Musketeers will the be next to fall. With no changes, we should eventually catch 3DNow but Overclock.net are catching us!! :shock:

Alright, it took 7 days ... but I blame BUs validation problems and some people going walkabout :)
