The Scottish Boinc Team

I'm going to join SETI.USA on this challenge. They have their work cut out for them. Just a little payback for helping us get in the WCG top 100.

I'm helping Planet 3DNow! here, they appear to have a forum crammed with various sorts of AMD knowledge, both hardware and sofware-wise.
Unfortunately for most of you -or me fellow AMD Users- it is completely in German...

Thanks Steve. We do have our work cut out for us and we appreciate anything you can throw our way.

This one? https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/foru ... t,0#613511

Anything I need to do apart from crunch WCG for SUSA?

Yup. Here is a link to the week 3 leg...https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/team ... ngeId=9670
Just an FYI, it scores run time instead of credits and it runs through the end date. i.e. 10/07/2019 00:00 UTC thru 10/13/2019 23:59 UTC (or until 10/14/2019 00:00 UTC).

Just a thought - I am Captain of the TSBT team on WCG. What happens if I leave that team to join SUSA ?

The microchip implanted in your neck will explode and the remaining team members will stone your corpse with old hard drives.

DC is a brutal and unforgiving hobby.

Oh, is that all

Is captain different than founder?

I'm the one asking the questions

Okay - I created a new account and appointed it to be Team Captain. That way, I figure I can re-appoint my main account as captain after the challenge

Wow! Scots are a rough bunch!

Naw - that is merely an everyday term of affection

I didn't make the rules.

Violent degradation of one's headless corpse seems a small price for repaying SUSA for their assistance last year!
I too have switched my WCG output until the end of the THOR thing.

Winding down my WCG contribution in advance of the (hopefully) FB Sprint announcement.

Will resume if it is a GPU sprint

Can someone let me know please when it changes from run-time to points as I am running some MIPS (another project which has no concept of an accurate runtime estimate)

I believe the PURE week starts Nov 4. If they still have Zika available then you can load up on the 25th. It is the highest paying project ... MIPs is the worst.

If Zika is gone I don't really know what is best after that.

MCM almost always has work and pays decent, WCG-wise

So do I run WCG open or bunkered?

I don't think we are going to worry about week 4. The next thing of interest starts Nov 4 and that is the PURE event. That is based on points and the pay-to-play teams don't get to compete. If Zika is available you can start bunkering on the 25th.

okay thanks - I'll give the leccy meter a wee break

- This fifth week will take place from Monday, November 04, 2019 to Sunday, November 10, 2019.

Is there a start time or should I assume 00:00 UTC (when Sunday becomes Monday). I have looked for this info, honest, Guv

I honestly don't know the answer to that. I'm pretty sure it starts at 0000 UTC and I think it is on Nov 4th.

Well, it seems to be running.
And if this page is correct, https://www.seti-germany.de/thor_pure/ , SUSA have it in the bag and probably don't really need my help. 10x the points of their nearest rival!

Planet 3DNow! on the other hand need all the help they can get, to keep of Winnie the faeces's minions...

Sorry, but I'm not aware of TSBT's debt to P3DN.
Having said which, my late mother was called Winnie... but on balance I'll just keep it simple & head on back to TSBT!
