Badge hunters: About 11 days to get Computing for Sustainable Water

[Otis11]

got 1 more work unit on the z77 rig so they are still out there just gotta get lucky and catch 'em

I've got 27 tasks on this machine for Martijn... so don't give up hope just yet...

But do me a favor and make sure my machines don't run dry please! I'll leave them on as long as the have work.

[werdwerdus]

currently at 1:353:02:28:05, looks like the downclocking on myles-pc is paying off.. I guess I will probably make the badge if we can pick up just a few more tasks!

[Otis11]

I'm pulling for ya buddy.

And martijn - downclocked my 27 tasks on my laptop. We'll see how long I can stretch them!

Edit: Sorry bud, this is as low as I can (stably) go... at this rate each task will be about 2.5 hours, so just shy of 3 extra days...


In other news, my battery life just doubled...

[retro77]

All of my systems were dry this morning so I shut down. I wish the best of luck to you all

[Otis11]

Holy cow... just for those of you who forgot what progress has been made since, what... 2002? a 800 Mhz computer is SLOW!!!

Like, I can type fast enough to freeze this thing.

But I just realized... my RAM is running the same speed as my CPU! Never thought that would happen.

[OldChap]

Oh woe is me!!!.......Disaster of disasters!!!.......The end of the work units is nigh!!!



I really got so few today, 3 hours work or maybe 4, I truly feel the end is nigh... I am not getting any more

We tried our tricks, our rigs down clocked but without work well, we are focked

So, good try boys we did our best to get these badges for the rest

and though we laboured hard and long I fear we failed, our chance is gone

but take heart lads twas not all bad for 8 blue badges they were had

by teamwork, selfless members sharing, helping team mates, crunching, caring

and should we hear when projects end a call for help from other friends

we'll go again for we are blessed with good guys we call "team, XS".

Oh almost forgot........ Word.

Last night's stats have me at 1:353:02:28:05, so far for 10/2 my stats history is saying 0:015:07:50:14, should be 1y 368d 10h+ AKA 2y 3d 10h+after tonight

[retro77]

I'll disagree with ya OC on the fail part, we were very victorious in our efforts. We can't get everyone the badge, but we accomplished some pretty amazing results. We can always do better next time

[OldChap]

Yah, couldn't find the tongue in cheek smiley

I feel it has been an amazing team effort which may yet yield another badge and so close on a second.

I'm proud of the great effort you guys put in.

I have one wu dated Sunday but it should be done before.

Dying of curiosity to see how werdwerdus and Martjin stand and where they end up.

Thank you SO MUCH to everybody who helped out. This type of absolute unselfishness and team attitude is what keeps me coming back every night.

For a dedicated cruncher like you? It was our pleasure!
(now go kill those GPUs! Gotta give SAM a run for it! )

WD - Let us know when you make it, going hard through the finish just to be safe!

Martijn - status update? I ran out of WUs on one machine so switched it back... but the other is still under your name trying to get some as it crunches HCC.

[werdwerdus]

otis I'm already past the badge! you can abort any cfsw tasks should you have them, for others to catch

[retro77]

Congratulations werdwerdus

Quoted the answer to the question I asked...

Been a long day. Will change rigs in the morning. Sleep now.

Congrats WD (and team)!

[OldChap]

Good work werdwerdus and team...it doesn't get much closer than that.

The number of wu's completed by the project in the last few days tells a story.....

It has been a pleasure This is the first time I've had the opportunity to crunch for someone else, it feels good knowing I helped a team mate out

You guys are like family to me

[OldChap]

currently have 1 wu and it had to be on the only non downclocked machine too 33 mins worth


First post update.

[Martijn]

I think you guys can pull off of my account, I seem to be stuck at 1y343 days and I'm only getting one or two WUs each day. I really appreciate all the help I got, but it wasn't enough this time

If there are any people that need some help on getting their HCMD badges I'm in!

[OldChap]

Sorry we didn't quite make it my friend. I think I only got 1 wu today so as you say I will select no new tasks then dump any that are left on Saturday. (how are you doing for your HCC badge )

No consolation perhaps but we will know better how to approach this next time.

[Martijn]

No hard feelings, I was late to the party and realized this could happen

I'm well over 5 years for HCC, but I'd really like to see a day where I go past 200K WCG points
