I've done the same on the systems that couldn't wait to see FB update. Hopefully it sorts itself out .......

Alez

I wholeheartedly agree with @Megacruncher and @davidbam
Couldn't ask for more.

Alez

Looks like the new FB website is live. I guess it's bunker drop time and hope it updates correctly.

Alez

Happy New Year to all on the team, their families and friends.
Good riddance to 2021 with some vague hope that 2022 will be better.

Alez

Also noticed that Gridcoin have denied entry to next years FB

Alez

You think some other teams are waiting until midnight ? Remember the Hogmanay Hootenanny is on UTC, FB runs on CET, so we should be able to start dumping after 11pm UK time for it to count for FB 2022. Gives a bit more wiggle room to see if the FB 2022 competition goes live at the correct time. EDIT...

Alez

3 1/2 hours until the start ...... off to bed

Alez

And we welcome you to it as always

Alez

Stats on post #1 work. Changed date to proper start time now.
Is there a grace period for uploading tasks to NFS ? otherwise I will have to dump 2 systems pretty much after midnight. I have quite a few tasks on those 2 that expire prior to 1am.

Alez

31 hours to go until challenge starts. 43 more hours of this retched year to go. Here's to a better 2022.

Alez

For the new year I will be dropping NFS with a mixture of Primegrid, moo, Einstein and Collatz on the GPU's

Alez

davidbam Well I'm about to make a Christmas donation to TSBT cause to help get me some more resources on NFS at your discretion and a decent GPU for a bunker drop on PrimeGrid at the start of the next FB challenge as I'd like to get my total for that above 1 Billion. WuProp on the account always ap...

Alez

Well that's put a bit of a downer on my party. I was running the 14e and 15e apps for WuProp hours, didn't realise I was still on them, and that's them only now within bunker range. Didn't think to check that the 16e one were in bunker range days ago :oops: What a complete wally. Moving this thread ...

Alez

Thanks. I've added a stats table to post 1 to track the competition.

Alez

@davidbam Can I ask that all my remaining rental credit be put on this once we enter bunker territory ? For once I'd like to make a good showing as a last hurrah for the year. Cheers.

Alez

One good thing about nightshift from home is spending the night watching the NFL. Mind you Sunday night football is worth it just for the intro with Carrie Underwood

4 days until kick off of our challenge

Alez

A very merry Christmas to all on the team, your families and loved ones.

Currently peeling brussel sprouts for tomorrows family dinner that I will be sleeping through due to being on nightshift, but it's the thought that counts

Hope you all have a good one.

Well running the pink box stuff from the same server has helped, unsurprisingly, and of course plain vanilla is unoffensive.

Alez

You'll just have to learn to share young man, learn to share

Alez

Well, I did lock us all out of the forum for a wee bit this afternoon ........

Alez

For both iThena projects you will have to visit your account pages and agree to have your stats exported.
Don't blame me, blame the EU .

Alez

Dust off your kilts, raise a dram and smash the competition

It's ceilidh time on Bam competitions

Yes, we believe we have fixed the problem and have identified the parties / team involved. Hugely disappointed in the behavior we believe has occurred from within the BOINC community.

Alez

Certain parts of the forum have had the access to it changed. Specifically the private sections for team only members. More changes may occur over the course of the day. If you find you have lost access and want to be able to see these parts of the forum then please contact either myself Alez or dav...

Alez

I suspected it might be. Cheers. Going to contact ebay now.

Alez

Here's the pics from ebay as I've boxed it up

Alez

The socket mount is pristine on the card. I have a few dead cards here I could take power plug off and solder, but if it's not that then I'm stuck with the card, so I'm just returning it via ebay. If for some reason I can't return it, then I'll put a power plug on it as I'll then have nothing to loo...

Alez

Put the card into a windows system and it recognises the card, installs the drivers but won't run it stating that this device has a problem and has not been started. I think the card does work, but because it doesn't have a separate power socket, it is meant for a specific board that delivers more p...

iThena appears to have a new project available to join , iThena.Computational https://comp.ithena.net/usr/ Team set up on it https://comp.ithena.net/usr/team_display.php?teamid=515 Doze and Nix applications available. Will test it after the SRbase sprint is complete. Should at least be a new WUProp ...

Alez

Not on this board. There is the socket on the board, but no connector soldered to it.

Alez

Only on the stick on label on the back of the card.. No branding on the fans or fan cover as usual and the box is nvidia Geforce branded etc, but no model stated. I need to get it on windows and see if it actually works or not. Just found it very weird that it displays the board splash screen but to...

Alez

That's the question as there is no make on the card or box, just nvidia geforce series. Totally brandless.
The serial number is xxk762020010 but i can't find anything on it.

Alez

I have a nVidia GTX 960 4GB card I picked up recently. It doesn't need additional power so would be fine as a bit of extra crunching as most of my systems have EVGA 600W PSU's which have only 2 x 4pcie power connections. I have put it into 2 different Ryzon systems and can't get it to work with eith...

That's the cached sigs all updated on the server again. Enjoy those new badges you've earned. Any issues, let me know.

18 points for us so far and 770 in total. 65 points in the lead.

I grew up with 90ft of water at low tide off the breakwater. Cod, Halibut, Skate, Flounder, Plaice and Congers were our stable.The Mackerel run used to be awesome. Best offshore fishing I did was catching Barracuda in the Arabian Gulf. I can confirm that flip flops for me was not an option, rig boot...

Alez

Sad person

I just looked at the piss poor pay from the project and thought, nah, too much effort

I sort of did the science, just in a lazy , non-empirical way

Alez

You can try and find the leak. Try using kitchen towel or look / feel for residue / dampness. It's a low pressure system so hoses can be replaced or sealed with rubber amalgamating tape. Leaks at connections can be sealed with Teflon tape. If it's the actual radiator then chemical metal is your frie...

Alez

To overcome that deficit would be a serious effort, probably far more effort that the points gained would be expected by any sensible team. I think Gerasim is in the bag for this year.

Alez

TSBT finished 7 from 15 teams. Not a bad effort for minimal effort.

Individual kudos to
Megacruncher TSBT 10th
Alez 34
Hal Bregg 74
davidBAM 75

Well done guys.

Alez

Just over 1 hour to go. Unless someone has some bunkers to drop now I think we are going to fall a little bit short at about 742M points. That shows just how much things have changed that we are falling just short of 0.75 Billion points after 7 days when the next closest team managed 170M. In fact, ...

Alez

If we don't make it, we will be very close. A superb effort and a big boost in the marathon. Personally, looks like I'll finish top 10

Alez

I keep my son's desktop on gerasim most of the time. If I had it on Yoyo it would get hot and noisy and slow down his gaming and he'd turn off boinc. It was also enough to keep us moving ahead of P3DN. This challenge might give them ideas although our lead is 12M so they're going to have to devote ...
