02/01-07/01 Enigma - A New Year Challenge

[scole of TSBT]

Just cracked top 20. I'm doing the fat man wobble dance

Well done! I've been stuck in the same spot for over 2 days

Any interesting tales from the platform?

Smart A$$

I should get to the 3rd spot by morning giving TSBT the top 3 positions TSBT is kicking bootie!

BTW, nice gain Alez!!

[scole of TSBT]

Does TSBT have enough in petty cash to overnight Pete a spare network switch?

EDIT: On second thought, forget the TSBT protocols. Somebody forge Megacruncher's signature and get the switch sent Fedex Custom Critical.

Other than one of our choppers loosing its tail rotor and doing a 90 degree fan dango on the helideck, no, not much to report on the platform side. Back with feet dry after a rather intresting flight due to 70 mph winds causing the chopper to do a very credible version of the fat man wobble dance. Your position may be safe but I intend to take a few more before the fat lady breaks some glasses

I got the i7 980 up and running headless at the moment since I ran out of Ethernet connections on my router switch. When time permits, I will add this machine to BoincTasks. In the meantime I will swap the connections after awhile with another machine.

Just load it up and bunker it Pete. Then occasionally give it a connection and let it dump and reload. I ran into the same thing last year and had to expand my network capability.

[Bryan]

We're screwed, Cineon_lut is on board and is starting to bend the SUSA graph big time. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted ... we certainly made them work for it and they had to call out a big gun to take us down.

Nice run everyone!!!!

If we wanted some entertainment, we could all switch to OcUK for the last day and they would squash GridCoin and finish in 3rd

EDIT: No I was wrong, that wasn't a nice run ... that was a hell of a run

[Bryan]

In thinking about this, I am going to switch over to OcUK since we are basically done with the SUSA battle. I can't get them over the hump by myself ... anyone else interested in building some inter-team rapport?

[scole of TSBT]

They crunched well, right up until they called cineon_lut to cover their retreat. The cowards!

I'm in. A sneak bunker drop?

No, I want them to be aware of what we are doing -- the idea is to strengthen friendships.

I've changed over to OcUK a few minutes ago.

[jondi]

Glad to have you on board, let's take the Borg down! :)

BTW Scole, you are looking pretty scary these days, have you been upgrading too?

[scole of TSBT]

I added a couple of androids and stayed busy on a bunker.

Well, maybe a couple new intel cores to replace some older, less efficient ones. They can't all stay though. And that 4.7 mil started with week long, 3 mil bunker.

[Alez]

Oh hell, if we are squashing the borg like cockroaches count me in. If we can't compete as a bit of fun on FB than OcUK should defo rub some borg noses in defeat

[Bryan]

Pete, Cineon came up on SUSA and was eating our lunch so Scole, Alez, and I have joined OcUK to take down GC ... knock them down to the 4th spot.

Did you have a storm come through and get your power?

[Alez]

Looks like the server finally broke.

[scole of TSBT]

The upload/download server is working. The validator isn't running. Is that the same as the transitioner? Because that's the one not running.

I'm ready to be done with enigma

[Bryan]

It looks like they are running the validator once per hour. We just passed GC

In addition to Cineon it appears that Mumps weighed in on Enigma as well. Maxwell is throwing up big credits and he doesn't have the machines to throw up those kinds of numbers.

I originally planned on taking Enigma to the next milestone but like you I'm getting tired of running it. I'll probably move to something else and leave it where it is until we do another challenge (or two). I just went NNT but I'll probably abort my cache when we cross the finish line.

[Alez]

Think we can class GC as having been schooled biggly
Going to move to TNGrid for a few days with the GPU's on Primegrid.

[scole of TSBT]

OcUK has a 500k lead on them. Think it's safe peel off? I'm going to join Alez because I missed the TN-Grid challenge and need to do some badge work on it.

[Bryan]

I have to admit taking the top 3 spots was amazing!

It's been fun guys, thanks for a great ride We started 2017 with a bang!

[Alez]

Nice work you three ... and muppet here just realised I had myself set on AP for TNGrid. Fixed now.

[Alez]

TSBT finished 2nd from 19 and forced seti.usa to call in the big guns to beat little old us. Some despicable pirate action also caused the poor old gridcoin borg million minions to end up in 4th place behind OCUK. Boohoo says I, Hoo hoho

Top 3 Awesome effort guys, take a bow.

[scole of TSBT]

Whew...I think I have an Enigma hangover! Got the top project badge and WUProp over 100K so I'm done with Enigma unless it becomes a serious matter of team pride

Well done to all that participated :salute:

[Silver]

Great effort guys and a cracking result
Hope this is just the start of things to come in 2017
