Each result is running about 24 hrs.. so double the 5.5 optimized credits.Quote:

Damn it I hate quorums, that just ruined the project for me :rofl:. Are there any plans for them to change the credit system or is no one bothered by it as is?Quote:

No problem :)Quote:

This was only reduced to 3 from 4 relatively recently - reducing it to 2 is being looked into at the moment - whether it will ever be reduced to one like Rosetta, I wouldn't like to guess.
But you see, not all projects are insensitive to errors like R@H. Some do need validation and a single error will be trouble (SIMAP is a good example). I think they do 4 at the moment. Errors there would deadly.Quote:

EDIT: Found it. Just started WCG and joined up. Looks like now there are only two of us currently running. Looks like we need some :help:
Putting ddtung's rosetta farm on idle. Is a team effort in itself. :eek:Quote:

Damn near a total shutdown.
The quiet around here is very disconcerting, after years of fans running 24/7.
You deserve a short rest my friend and knowing what it cost to run all those machines in the middle of a dessert I imagine your wallet will appreciate the quiet also. Don't worry, we won't let you rest for too long!;)Quote:

Howzat? Ya put em under a canopy in the yard and turn the sprinkler on?
The other thing; well they should all be zero henceforth, til this is ( if it ever is ) resolved.
Friggin sad the way they cAnnot seem to communicate...
Hi everyone I haven't had time to read everything that's going on.
So if my old friend DCManiak thinks we should leave Rosetta I will do the same. I am away for the next ten days but will be taking my laptop with me I will try and get on the Internet to see what is going on. The wife is shouting at me got to go see you
Rob :wave:
Welcome to the club ;)Quote:

My father has been riddled with diferent flavors of cancer for as long as I can remember, surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation has kept the old timer kicking, so I feel I owe it to atleast him and probably a few million ppl around the world to focus my attention there..
I started it before but was having a problem with work and having it setup in my siggy.. Any help with WCG would be awesome..
once my rosetta WU's are completed i'll be moving all power to wcg/qmc

I would hate for this crunching force to disintegrate into 20 different factions.
We were unified and driven, I'd like to see that again. Personally, my life has been touched in a most deep way by cancer; it was what caused me to start crunching about 5 years ago. I sure as hell hope that our main project is involved in medicine. That is what drives me ( and a minor competitive streak :D ).
I hope you enjoy your trip, Rob!

PS
I just flushed about 170 finished Rosey WUs when I detached from Rosey, on this machine. Talk about ambivalence.
Cancer is my driving force also thats why I chose WCG..
Plus I have a bro in law dying from aids so id also like to feel im in some way contributing to the demise of future deaths from this disease as well.
i think a lot of people here have some sort of desire to help with the fight against cancer, which is probably why we are so heavily migrating from rosetta to WCG.
Sorry have been just swamped with work. Got my last system pulled last night and moved over to WCG.
And here I was hoping to catch you guys :) Well I did break 20k..
