Next update should confirm that I am now over 10Bn (with 5 days to spare)

Now ... if I could only make it into the top 250 on Boincstats, my life would be complete. Of course it wouldn't be complete at all ... boinc really draws you in as a the next target is always just out-of-reach

You have made it. 10 Billion on the board, #6 in the team and soon to be #5. Well done.

Well deserved post up in the Kudos section here

I believe I have a detector somewhere in the wastelands of the north east of Scotland. Just need to find the time and the protection to visit said wastelands

You'll definitely need it after I publish this URL in the Huntly Express

Surely a lat and long would be more useful if I have to venture into such badlands ?

I presume the zombie repellent kit and accompanying land shark protection is standard

Passed 15Bn now. Hoping to make it into top 200 after next Collatz drop https://www.boincstats.com/stats/-1/user/list/0/200#210

Hasn't paid out yet though

Congrats!

How will I ever catch up with you? Must be when the TRX80 Mobo's arrive, and I have -thanks to the lottery- a dual Socket sTr4x Ryzen Threadripper 3990X system (read: never

).

When I hit the lottery jackpot, you'll get your dream rig, TSBT crunchers will get new kit and Rob will get a TSBT sponsorship!

I can dream

Wow 20 billion!
Amazing David. You are 30th in the BOINC Universe by total credit.
In such a short time too! All your rivals have an 18 year head start.
Awesome.
I hate to think what your Lecky Bill is like or how much heat you have to disperse from your farm.

Posted: **Sat Dec 07, 2019 4:05 pm**

All change for next year though, I think. Plan is to only run the GPUs on challenges & on hard-to-find work such as GPUgrid and BURP. I'll buy more GPUs with the money I save on the lecyy bill

Will probably keep the CPUs busy speculating for a WCG Sprint until such time as that passes.

I just hope that FB continues in a similar vein

So February at PG is the Tour de Prime, where the object is to find Top 5000 primes. I've been shut out the last few years (and had some years where I never tried). It's been 9 years since my last T5K. Halfway through this years event I have this shiny new badge:

.. yup, not 1, not 2 .. 4 primes, one returned a mere 26 seconds before the double checker.

.. and a half a month to go.

My point production is crap but I am a happy man!

Soooo ... I'm still a happy man but I think my luck has changed

Woke up yesterday morning to find I had a 5th prime

.. and then the power went out. Went out three times during the day. I'll keep plugging but I think I've heard my swan song

Posted: **Mon Feb 24, 2020 5:03 pm**

This has been a charmed Tour de Prime. The badge count is now 6 primes, one of them a mega-prime ( a million digits )

With certain projects the distance between two badges is sometimes staggering

There's my Yoyo siever 10 mil Spirit badge

For the record, I don't like the new WCG badges

You need to get your signature with badges setup! If you haven't already done so, go here and create an account. You just give it your CPID and setup the format, which is pretty simple, copy&paste the link to the sig and use that as the url for the image in your signature. Alez will eventually put on the web server and give you the new path to use. After that, he has kindly volunteered to keep them updated.

Posted: **Fri Oct 01, 2021 2:32 am**

Like this?

Posted: **Fri Oct 01, 2021 2:41 am**

Yip, that's what you need

If your happy enough , I'll add you to my list and host it locally. I'll even change your signature in your account to the local version because that's just the nice guy I am. @scole of TSBT Eventually !!!

Posted: **Fri Oct 01, 2021 9:04 am**

Got my 31st million badge in projects and subprojects. Chasing the second 10 billionth project.

OK @PecosRiverM , that's your signature cached and setup. It will update automatically when I update all the sigs. Any problems just let me know.

Posted: **Sun Oct 03, 2021 2:37 am**

Cached signatures will be updated after I'm sure you will have all updated your PrimeGrid badges by the end of the sprint

Posted: **Sun Oct 10, 2021 9:56 am**

Got one more million credit badge.It is especially nice since it is in yoyo and in a small way I could help my team to win the Sprint. With a day to go, I am pretty sure of the win.

Posted: **Mon Nov 15, 2021 3:23 pm**

I got a million credits badge for Riesel Base - Short today, my 63rd sub-project to reach that milestone (it was my last remaining SRBase yellow badge, its now pink too). In the process my totals for SRBase went beyond 50 million, and I got a neon-green badge for that.
