One good thing about nightshift from home is spending the night watching the NFL. Mind you Sunday night football is worth it just for the intro with Carrie Underwood
@davidbam Can I ask that all my remaining rental credit be put on this once we enter bunker territory ? For once I'd like to make a good showing as a last hurrah for the year. Cheers.
actually three systems have been on it since 26th Dec - I'll add some more when taking fresh bunkers as I don't mind who earns the credits (and it'll make sure you are getting value)
Well that's put a bit of a downer on my party. I was running the 14e and 15e apps for WuProp hours, didn't realise I was still on them, and that's them only now within bunker range. Didn't think to check that the 16e one were in bunker range days ago What a complete wally.
Moving this thread to the more secure live comps forum.
@davidbam Well I'm about to make a Christmas donation to TSBT cause to help get me some more resources on NFS at your discretion and a decent GPU for a bunker drop on PrimeGrid at the start of the next FB challenge as I'd like to get my total for that above 1 Billion. WuProp on the account always appreciated as I'm a sucker for hours accumulated and pointless shiny stars ...... mmmmmm shiny
Glad you did the dirty on cosmology, absolutely hate going near that project as it's never played well with me. I thank you
I checked the PG too - disregard the GPUs reported on the 3 attached machines, you really have a RTX 2070 Super, RTX 2080 Ti and RTX 3080 Ti. These will all drop in first few days of 2022
Stats on post #1 work. Changed date to proper start time now.
Is there a grace period for uploading tasks to NFS ? otherwise I will have to dump 2 systems pretty much after midnight. I have quite a few tasks on those 2 that expire prior to 1am.
re the grace period: maybe check the deadlines given on the NFS site? Some projects give a little longer than what WU would suggest.
I think you'll be safe to drop pretty sharply after midnight on the basis that Seb must take ending counts for FB2021 NFS marathon and I assume they become start counts for 2022 one. Mod Python, you say? Whatever is Mod Python?
You think some other teams are waiting until midnight ? Remember the Hogmanay Hootenanny is on UTC, FB runs on CET, so we should be able to start dumping after 11pm UK time for it to count for FB 2022.
Gives a bit more wiggle room to see if the FB 2022 competition goes live at the correct time.
EDIT Actually that's completely wrong. FB reports time as CET for updates but it claims 2 hours 50 mins to run, so FB is working on UTC same as the Hogmanay competition.
The last FB update was at 19:31 (CET) ('roon aboot tea-time) and there won't be another this year.
I suspect any uploaded NFS from then on will count for FB2022.
But just in case I'll wait until the bells. (Other than the minor unintentional dribble I've already let loose).
Shit. Dropping about a third of my stuff has got me a million credits.
I'm so far out in front in the user stakes that it's embarrassing.
People are going to talk!
Going by stats on post one I'm afraid you are no longer the talk of the town @Megacruncher , seems @PecosRiverM did a bit of carpet bombing as well. Bam server totally borked now and nothing on FB at all.
It's ceilidh time on Bam competitions 
What a complete wally.
seems to still be taking uploads though. Someone is making it creak at the seams
