Unless someone chimes in that they want to run the WCG challenge, I'll be on this one working on a badge upgrade.

FYI, I saw both Gridcoin's and SETI.USA's TN-Grid challenges but wasn't sure what happened. Turns out SETI.USA booked their challenge, then 3 days later Gridcoin booked a TN-Grid challenge which ends less than 2 days before SETI.USA's. I think that's poor form. BOINC.Italy jump out in front on this challenge but Gridcoin is chasing them down. TN-Grid is based at the Research Area of Trento of the National Research Council of Italy (CNR) and currently hosted by the University of Trento (UNITN). BOINC.Italy helps a lot with the project and I'd like to see them beat Gridcoin so I've decided to join BOINC.Italy on this challenge. I'll be back crunching for TSBT on SETI.USA's challenge though.

They also added a DrugDiscovery challenge which craps on the start of the TNGrid SUSA challege.
BTW: if you need an Athos just let me know, I'm up to speed on TNGrid.

By all means join in! We've pulled away a little from GC but it would be nice to slam the door shut on them :)

On it! Athos coming up, someone else can be D'artagnan

Must be said that the Borg just don't care about other teams challenges. They are only calling challenges to boost their own profile. Very poor. Seems they are loosing another though but think increased numbers increases their payments ?

I'm going to drop out of this in a few hours or so in order to install the latest opti apps and load a bunker for SETI.USA's challenge. I think (most) of the BOINC.Italy team appreciated the help on this. :)

If you want to download the opti apps, check the Pirate Tips forum
