Is there a way to 'boinc' offline? :rofl:

Yeah, just write out the results by hand and mail them in. Include a self addressed stamped envelope if you want the points back though.Quote:

Maybe, but my way provide a greater sense of accomplishment. Using the internet and USB thingies to do stuff is for nerds.Quote:

I was ranked 184 year ago and now 500. :eek:
Looks like I will have to turn another computer on to reclaim my position :)
Sorry, there's no "sneaker-net" for BOINC. Each machine has to be connected to the internet to upload and download, though it can be disconnected while it's crunching.Quote:

I am falling from top100 RAC like a stone, time to fire up more heavy artillery :yepp:
How often does the image update? The rate of change confuses me, as it only shows 250ish when it should be in the multiple thousands if its a daily update?
This is Boinc stats for WCG only. Also keep in mind that boinc points are 1/7th wcg points. It updates twice a day for what you see here.Quote:

Well I reached easily top 1000 during the Supercomputer Week :)
As I'm new here, I have noob question: what does "Rank for this date" mean in the Free-DC user stats? It still keeps getting better even though I hardly crunch anymore. It says #8 now, but that can't be #8 within XS no?
That means you are at #8 of everyone that joined WCG on the same day as you.
EDIT: When you look at it here: http://boincstats.com/stats/user_sta...8674&co=&date=
You can click the link for the join date and see how joined that date and see how you are doing compared to the others/
WooHoo! Finally got off the bottom page of the list... :up:
Ranked @#889 right now. I've left one machine as a dedicated cruncher since SCW, as well as letting the main rig run when I'm on the internet.
I'll let it run the rest of the month and see where my utility bill falls.
I've actually been moving up the list pretty quickly....
It makes me happy. :yepp:
Daveburt; you'll start chewing through the people that arn't crunching anymore :D
It feels good to climb the ladder. It's like personal challenges every step of the way.
Does anyone know why the chart isn't working in the first post?
I'm a WCG noob, and I liked looking at it to get an idea of how I was doing... :(
Maybe someone could offer a link for the info. :shrug:
Not sure what's up with the chart, but you can look up your own stats. I like using the BOINCstats site. Search for your name.Quote:

But my rank on the boinc and wcg stats keeps going up.
That means an awful lot of people stopped running boinc after SCW.
That is sad.
A lot of people I know keep saying that they wish they could do more to help make the world a better place. But I when I bring up WCG/F@H/etc. they can't be convinced to join.
So here is my idea, Could XS start a "Donate your Cycles to WCG for the Holidays"?
Maybe convince a couple vendors to put some items up as prizes, and then count WCG WU's turned in as raffle entries for the prizes?
Just an idea to give more people incentive to do a good thing for what amounts to almost no personal effort besides installing the client and joining the team.
Woohoo! #200
7 mil WCG
1 mil BOINC
oh yea! #100!

With that i7 you'll climb fast in total ranks until you hit about 200... then it gets tough.Quote:
