WCG stats only update twice per day - I forget the precise times.
Some of their sub-projects will also require a wingman to validate results

I'm not sure the challenge stats are quite as realtime as that. They zeroed at midnight but haven't been updated since then. We might have to wait to midnight UTC.

If I recall correctly, on WCG challenges the first update doesn't occur until 24 hrs after the start of the challenge. After that it's every 12 hrs, I think.
Also worth reminder everyone that Thor is scored on hours crunched not credit. So pick your favorite WCG sub-project and forget about credit

Just running the projects. However, assuming we do get to the "Pure" stage, the last week. I think they count points and not time. Any suggestions which are the most advantageous projects to run? Africa has lot of points, but also runs for many hours.
Ha, I like to plan ahead.

I'm sure we can. Although for this stage top 50 will be enough to get us thru to the second round. But we might as well do it in style.

We moved up into 28th place. Great going team!
How do we do the team challenge? Do we need a format or just look it up on the WCG team results Boinc page?
Like Warren Buffett said if after a few hands of poker you do not know who is the sucker, it is you.

#36 Re: THOR Challenge Y5 (2020)
i think it might be tricky to establish exactly who did what towards the Thor Challenge especially now that it is well under way.
But at anytime Boincstats tells us how much work each of us has done in the last week. At present for instance Miklos is just leading the pack, marginally ahead of andynicholl with me a poor third & davidBAM 17th.
https://www.boincstats.com/stats/15/use ... 10/0/10148
This page next Monday morning should be a fairly reliable indicator of who has contributed most to the first week of the challenge.
Is anyone offering a prize?

#38 Re: THOR Challenge Y5 (2020)
I had been using the Boinc updates of the TSBT results per day.
FYI: I did 42 days' work yesterday, but I was afraid I almost lost a couple of gpu cards, so I throttled back a little to 90% of cpu's and 90-99% of the time, pending which computer. Some can handle running all the cpu's 99% of the time and also run two 1080ti and 2080ti gpu cards.
