Push for 2nd in daily production?

[Jeff]

Anybody up for a little push? The #2 and #3 teams in daily production are very close to each other and only about 75% more that what we currently produce. Now I know that sounds like alot, but getting more XS.org people involved and getting more of your friends and family involved should easily take care of this deficit. :D

I know DDTung showed some interest in this project the last time he posted here so let's give a big push for him to show we are serious and would appreciate any/all of his help with D²OL. ;) If we can not get to 2nd or 3rd... then when he joins up with us we should easily rocket past the DPC and ARS. :devil:

So... anyone else interested in a little challenge?



Maybe a little contest is in order? (with prizes of course!!!) ;)

I did a little contest on another project where people gained a "numbered ticket" for a certain amount of production(like 1 ticket every 250 conformers). All your production during the given time frame went towards these "tickets". After the end of this time... my son drew numbers out of a hat and whoever had those numbers won prizes. It's semi-simple and in my opinion, pretty fair. Those who produce a lot will get a lot of tickets but we all know that this does NOT guarantee a win(ie. the Yankees :( :( :(). Even someone who has just one ticket can win(ie. the Red Socks :stick: ).

So... any of this sound like fun? Or am I just an idiot? :lol:

[Jeff]

BTW, I have a Procore radiator & shroud, Swiftech MCW5002-A, and some tubing that I could include in a prize package. I'd want to also include a pump in that package so I'd be sure to get one of those before the contest would officially start. ;)

This can be a lot of fun guys... :)

[saaya]

i could only add a P3 700mhz... ... ok i will :D ehhe

[Jeff]

And I also still have a brand new Swiftech MCX478-V sitting here that was supposed to be used in another contest(:stick: towards saaya! ;)).

[Jeff]

Then there's always cash via PayPal. ;) I've had a couple of contests with prizes like that too. $25 via PayPal can get almost anyone to smile. :lol:

[FDM]

sounds like fun to me

[saaya]

cool, you still have the heatsink!

then lets use it in another competition in the competition section! :)
i can paypal you the shipping to whoever wins :)

just hope its somebody in the states! :D

[RocKer]

Thats something a can't refuse:YIPPIE:,a challange it will be,but i'l go for it :rocker: .

Nice going Jeff :toast: .

[All Kill3r]

i'll be adding some firepower this week, so count me in.

To the TOP !

[=[PULSAR]=]

Damn only if I still worked at my old job. We had 5 Dual P3 800mhz servers...lol, could of helped the cause.

[Creep-DK]

Well im still waiting on my new gfx so i still can't use my main rig, it will ofc be running 24/7 when that gfx arrive :D

[saaya]

i have a pci s3 videocard creep :) if all you need is a basic videocard let me know if you want it :D

im totally broke (actually im in debts! :S) so i cant pay shipping, but i can send it free and you have to pay shipping.

wont be much, like 5€ i guess, let me know buddy :toast:

[bachus_anonym]

as far as upgrades go.... can't really do much at the moment... significant amount of money has been allocated for phase change cooling for my XP-M "wonder chip" :)
so no luck here :( but i can put out some "paypal money" for the winner...
great idea, Jeff....:thumbsup:

[Creep-DK]

Thx a lot for the offer saaya, but my new gfx is on the way, just dunno when it will arrive....US Postal tracking really sux :rolleyes:

[Jeff]

So does 250 conformers/ticket sound fair for a 7-day contest?

My buddy's 1.7GHz XP puts out ~100/day so that means that single rig people should get at least 3 tickets... more if they can recruit their friends and family under their username. :devil: We can make a rule where we will ROUND UP to the next ticket increment at the end of the contest. (ie. if you are at 251 conformers at the end of the contest you will receive TWO tickets!)

Also... I will NOT participate in the contest. I'll have enough fun just watching everybody push. :lol: ;)

Come to think of it, at the start of the contest we shoud ROUND DOWN to the previous 250 mark. (ie. if you are at 249 conformers at the start of the contest we should say that you started at 0. :D) Basically that means that once you turn in one more conformer you will already receive your first ticket :)

Also, that will make it incredibly easy to see how many tickets you are up to. Keeping everybody getting tickets at 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2250, 2500, 2750, 3000, 3250, etc. is how it should be done... imho at least. ;)

Remember... FUN!!! :toast:

[FDM]

sounds fine to me. Time to bribe people for docking time.. :D

ill dig around for some old stuff that I can part with

[Creep-DK]

Better start sweettalking the GF so i can do atleast a few hours a day on her 3000+ CH :D

[VinnieWeiss]

Damn, I wish I had a Motherboard.
Got a 40gb HDD, XP2500+, GeiL 2x256 PC3200 and a PSU laying around...
Only thing I need is a board and Heatsink oh and a GPU :(

[bachus_anonym]

so when does it start then? we need to have a starting checkpoint, right?
Jeff, i suppose you should take a stats' screenshot - here (http://stats.free-dc.org/d2ol/teamstats.php?team=XtremeSystems)
at, eg. 12:00am CT tonight and put it in your first post here.... then at the end take another screenshot...

[chunkylover77]

I'm in.

[VinnieWeiss]

Gimme some time so I can edit my dad's and my sis's pc.
A64 2800+ and XP1800+ (with SD Ram) should add some points ^_^
/me is so happy he is the only one home next week :devil:

Let's talk about this a little more before we start. Just to get the ideas out and then pick the best. ;)

I think Sunday evening is a pretty decent start/stop time. Maybe 9pm EDT? That way the winners can be announced the following Tuesday... or if we want people to suffer, the following Saturday. :devil: ;)

And that's the exact page I was going to use. Free-DC :toast:!!!

[bachus_anonym]

9pm is fine....
also we should urge all participants to do manual update on all their nodes at about 7:30-8:00pm this Saturday and then at the same time the day contest stops... that way everyone gets max tickets to start with and max when they finish...

Yes me to,then a can put my PIII 650mhz in to the battle:lol:,that will make a differens of one ticket at least :lol:.

[DDTUNG]

I'm definitely going to bring about 20 rigs on Nov. 1.

2nd place sounds good, but why not 1st place? :D

DDTUNG :cool:

[Paladin]

To help get DDTung onboard, I'll move some points over. ;)

[Creep-DK]

Heheh sounds pretty damn good DDTUNG :lol: :toast:

I could do a stats screenshot pretty easily I think. And then people could see how many tickets they have automatically. The script would just subtract the scores from the snapshot date and then divide by 250. From there it can round up or down to see how many tickets you get.

PS2-Jeff... you would approach Sainthood if you could pull that off. :)

@Paladin, :toast:!!! Nice to see you around... you relaxed bastard!!! :lol: ;)

@DDTung, #1 has a nice ring to it but I think we may be a little too far behind right now. BUT, it seems like D²OL may be moving on to the next stage sometime in the future(don't know how soon tbh) so we may be able to pull that one off... eventually. :D



Keep the ideas coming guys! :up: Sunday afternoon or evening the contest thread(with rules) should be posted.

Fun, fun, FUN!!! :up:

[freecableguy]

Getting ready to install and have 4 more nodes from a dual 3.0Ghz Xeon with 2MB RAMBUS

[Rodzilla]

Sounds fun!!!! I'll take myself outta this one... as I don't think it would be right to accept prizes from the team... and as you all know :hehe: I don't need anything extra to encourage me to fold my arse off!!!!!!!!! :up: I like this idea!

[PS2pcGAMER]

PS2-Jeff... you would approach Sainthood if you could pull that off. :)



I am not sure if I will have it done soon.

As a back up plan, you could just export the stats table to excel and put in 2 forumlas and then save it as an html doc and upload it that way. It wouldn't be quite as updated, but it would work fine.

[Jeff]

Just to let you guys know... seems like somebody lit a fire under the Dutch Power Cows butts and they have now increased their production to that of Free-DC. So... looks like we'll have to shoot for #1. :devil: Which is a 100% increase in our production... and which may actually be doable with a little more recruiting and publicity on our fine D²OL team. ;)

I feel bad.... :( maybe we should shoot our self in the foot to give them a fighting chance? :lol:

In time we can do this EASY!!!!!! A couple more Jeff's... and a couple more freecableguy's and we will be set! Let not forget that DDTUNG is on his way to ramping up all his rigs!!!!!!!!! :banana: :banana: :banana:

This isn't even to mention all of the new peeps that we will pick up! We can totally rain on the cows parade!

I only have 3 rigs doing D2OL so far. Another 15 will come on stream once I replace the faulty router at the remote farm this weekend. Then I'll have to find the time to go around and install D2OL on a few scattered machines.

DDTUNG :cool:

[Rodzilla]

Send me your info and I'll ship you a Linksys 4 port router today. :cool:

[Rodzilla]

I'll bring it in with me to work just incase...

[DDTUNG]

Send me your info and I'll ship you a Linksys 4 port router today. :cool:

Thanks for the offer. I already have a replacement router. Just have to set it up this weekend.

DDTUNG :cool:

[Jeff]

Can't wait to see what kind of output your farm is capable of DD. And hopefully you'll be able to fire up two instances on those duals of yours. ;) (and on P4 HT rigs... make sure to install two instances for optimum output)

BTW, do you want to participate in the contest? Or would you like to sit this one out with Rodzilla and myself? :confused:

At any rate, it's good to see you around again. :toast:

[Rodzilla]

I hope DDTUNG takes part in the contest! He has every right to! :)

[All Kill3r]

got the xeons (4nodes) cranking away now ! that's about all i can add to our push, but it should help. :)

[=[PULSAR]=]

Just forgot I had a node up and running for the past week and never added it. Hope it helps.

[DDTUNG]

No contest for me. It won't be fair to the others. :D

DDTUNG :cool:

[Jeff]

DDTUNG :cool:

I'll mark you down as a no-prize contestant. ;)

Doah! ;) And btw, it all helps! :toast:

[P0G0]

I'm thinking about starting a little bit of a farm here to help out, and I was wondering if these things would be any good to run 24x7 at 100%, doesn't look like much cooling.
http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=56-101-224&depa=0


What do you guys think? I think I can get two or 3 running pretty quickly if it's gona be worth it.

[Jeff]

Man... I'm not sure. I haven't bought a barebone system... well... in at least 10yrs. ;) It doesn't look bad but I'd wait for someone else to comment.

I almost got a few! Only thing that stopped me was the end of DF... I also looked into home built and it was very close... So i would go that way... but that's just me.

[DDTUNG]

Turns out the router at the remote farm is fine, but the rigs have caught a virus. I'll know in the morning if the cleanup was effective.

Right now I have 6 rigs on D2OL.

DDTUNG :cool:

[Jeff]

6 is a good start. ;)

And guys... we are inching our way closer to the #2 & #3 producers. We are only down about 50% now. :up: (they are at 150,000 right now and we are at 100,000 right now)

Nice work everyone. :toast:

And just so people know... Free-DC is making a huge push right now. They want to take the #1 position over by Christmas. This in turn is making the Dutch Power Cows increase their output to try and stay ahead of them. After all this is said and done the DPC will almost definitely relax(the Free-DC guys say they always do that sort of thing... almost like an admition of defeat). Once this happens... we can make a push to knock them to #3. :devil:

NO ONE PERSON SHOULD GIVE UP! We WILL take the #2 spot eventually!!! :D

[Rodzilla]

I think it's official! XS is the fastest growing, highest climbing, most Xtreme team on the scene! :D Let's keep it up peeps! I have a new toy on the way that should help out a LOT!

[All Kill3r]

It's a secret ? noooooooo !

I'd have to agree that we are the hawt team in D2OL atm. :rocker:

http://xtremesystems.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=17995&stc=1

[Rodzilla]

Yes.... it's a secret ;) I'll need a couple more and I can retake the top spot on the team!!!! Muah ha ha ha... my master plan is almost complete!!!!!

[All Kill3r]

Goodluck, im sure Jeff's not going down without a heavy weight championship fight first ! :lol:

[Rodzilla]

We will see who breaks first... Jeff's farm... or my check book:lol:

[Jeff]

Can't wait to see what you are rolling out Rodzilla. Make sure to post pictures of the beast. :up:


/Jeff walks away smiling & mumbling something... but what? What could it be? What could actually get him to smile & mumble at the same time! :confused:Tune in next time for the conclusion of "Battle of the Farms!!!". Same farm time... same farm station!!! :lol:

:am: I know...

[DDTUNG]

Well the virus seems to be in check for now. 15 rigs added for a total of 21,as promised. :D Will be bringing in a couple more during the day.

DDTUNG :cool:
