2CH has the Veyron and is Pulling away cause we have a sucky ferrari. but now we bought a new Koenigsegg Trevita CCXR, we have less weight and the same amount of Horse power so lets pwn the veyron!
I'm just a lil mini......swimming against the tide of relentless big guns.
Crazy English just don't know when to quit :D
Or how about they have a Veyron, and we have a brand spanking new 911 GT2 :DQuote:

I currently have 400 WU's pending validation .... that is roughly 140000 WCG points worth...
I think this may partly be caused by people maxing out by downloading 10 days worth of work on slower machines...
Also when I investigate, a large proportion of my pending WU's are being held up by "no reply". In other words the WU has been sent out for processing but have never been returned or cancelled by the user. The machines in question have simply dissappeared off the grid.
I hope things can get sorted out with problems like these as I have had many WU's so far that have gone past their sell by date for the above reasons...
I think were getting so close to easy news on the highway we are starting to draft off of them
Nice! :D Thia made me LOL. passing them is going to feel SO good....Quote:

ok I am offically a geek..
Biker,
Yeah unfortunately "no reply" and late work units are one of the hazards of DC. I have 450+ WU in PV jail as well. The only consolation is your PV queue shouldn't show any WU's older than about 2 weeks at any given time since WU's are re-issued after 10 days. So after you've crunched for a few weeks everything should even out and your PV's shouldn't grow any larger.
There's a few things you can do:
-run a short work queue, like 1 day, so your machines qualify as "fast and reliable" and will receive make-up and repair WU which are validated upon return.
-run a longer queue so your wingmans result is returned before yours but all this does is push your PV queue onto someone elses account.
-run a single validation project with no quorum. You'll still have a couple pages of "inconclusive" because WCG does random chacks on your work but it'll be far less WU's tied up and waiting around.
I knew I wasn't alone :)
Good tips.... thanks :up:
Just realized that I've been crunching with 4 threads only on my I7 920 @ 4Ghz...up and running at 8 now!
At the end of this week of crunching, I need to reformat my main machine. Something isn't playing nicely and is causing sporadic restarts. Even at stock settings. Is there a way to cleanly end a crunch session without sending points into limbo?
Not really, but you can reduce the loss by reducing the amount of work being cached and telling it to not get any new work so it matches the time of the planned hw / sw changes and then just submit the last few ones you have finished.
You can copy the boinc work folder to a backup and then copy it back after a fresh OS install.Quote:

And the numbers for tonight are... :wasntme::wasntme::wasntme:
another 53 minutes,I just checked..:rofl:Quote:

Today we were app 2.7million WCG points off of team 2ch..
It's doable guys if we want it.
Let's bump this up and get over the 20million mark and fast.
Time is flying by us.
Go hit up anyone you know and "Make them an offer they can't refuse"..:wasntme:
Great Day:up: Lets see atleast 18 tomorrow
Got the laptop fans cleaned out and running full load now and
:idea:Overclocking 1090T tonight I hope the wee little motherboard can handle it.
3am smap from work......how we doing?
18 is definitely in the cards for tomorrow I feel it :clap::clap::clap:
Well, without that second sammy system running, I'm pretty much tapped out at this point (still, about 40k WCG PPD isn't a bad spot to be stuck considering what I'm working with).Quote:

The question is how to do it nicely so they don't feel pressured..:shrug:Quote:

In that case, I take it a "Join XS WCG or we'll BANHAMMER you into the ground!!!!!1111one" message might be pushing it a bit? ;)Quote:
