UK BOINC Team Forum

I was looking at my latest posting and noticed that my signature panel points summary shows me as over a beeeelion!

This is a little more that the Boinc Stats page here https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-1/user/list/0/0/214/0
Don't know why there's a difference but I should get the few extra points to cross the billion line on there anytime now.

It doesn't move me up the rankings, I'm still at 17, but looking at average credit I should eventually make the top 10, if I live long enough!

Congratulations!
I seem to remember a time when I had a similar number of credits to you but you have far outstripped me more recently.

Hi Jeff

Excellent stuff...I recall getting quite excited at hitting one million in total BOINC credits...but over time, with improvements in CPU and GPU performance levels, one can get a bit blase about hitting such achievements - though getting to 1M on *each* project is still pretty tough going.

But getting to ONE BEEEEELLLION is a great achievment !! So, very well done - feel free to reward yourself with at least TWO Hobnobs !!

Well done Jeff

If you check here (ignoring BU) https://boincstats.com/en/stats/-5/user/list/0/0/214/0 then you're already only the tenth UBT member to reach ten digits (and heading for fifth eventually)

I remember.... thing is, I like games so I've upgraded regularly to keep up with new stuff as it came along. I also treated myself to a shiny new gaming rig for my 65th birthday, so that upped my performance quite a bit.

I've had a look back through the Forum and it looks like my first post in this section was back in September 2007, when I'd reached the heady heights of 50k! How times change, eh? The points roll in a bit quicker than that these days....
And we're off out shopping soon, I'll have to remember the Hobnobs!

Hi Jeff

Indeed - with GPUs and faster, multi-core CPUs, credits are a wee bit easier to earn....But even so, I've always thought that maybe the credits given should be a lot higher...else how will new members feel, when they see they earn a few tens or hundreds of credits per task and then compare it to members with hundreds of thousands, millions and even billions of credits...it can't be "inspirational" to know that they really don't have any chance of catching up

They should always be ON the shopping list !!
