    #1 in Canada!

    Been a long time coming! http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/st...countryCode=CA

    My next milestone will be to have the machine with the most points on WCG. I currently hold positions 3 through 6 but #1 will take over 8 months and by then some monster machine may run me over...lol!

    congrats, this is massive! i imagine it being harder to stay #1 than to just reach it, you always gotta upgrade faster than the others.but and your babies harder


    Tell it it's a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: and threaten it with replacement

    Fallwind congratulations.

    Don't you target to become a triple Ace in Canada.
    That is number one in points, runtime and Returned WU's.

    Congrats !!

    Looks like i'm #1 in Belgium but that's not comparable with a serious country like Canada. http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/st...countryCode=BE

    Do we have more country #1's in our team ?

    Great job, Fallwind. That is really a great achievement

    I can only home to get that far some day.

    And #1 in The Netherlands will be impossible with MakeCuresHappen at the top of the list. I'm at #271 already.

    Congrats, Canada looks tough, a lot of big crunchers clumped very close to #1 on that list When you overtake #1 that will displace Seirra Bounds machine (currently #2 and set to overtake the inactive #1.) A future upgrade in the next 8 months might make that #1 spot a bigger challenge for you, I don't think SB will roll over and play dead and just give up his #1

    Definitely, DDTung is still #1 in Hong Kong He has 80 million BOINC points while the next best only has 20 million points.

    Looked through his stats and found that he is one of those people who can do more than 150k BOINC a day without breaking a sweat.

    Congratulations on being #1 in Canada.

    But as far as having the top machine, you'll have to wait your turn. I will re-take the top spot in less than a month.

    I'll be retiring the machine right after I break 5 million BOINC. It's been running non-stop for more than three years. It deserves a vacation.
