Well done on getting 2nd, bet OCN are gutted !

Well done guys. Can't say I helped much. What projects do you usually do inbetween the sprints?

PDW · 16 Apr 2017 at 22:23

Great job guys, everyone's contribution helps whatever you can give to get the team where it belongs

Even you 10esseeTony, if it hadn't have been for you urging us on by telling us we should be the superior team

Well done on the 2nd place, OCN must be wondering where it all went wrong, I expect you'll let them know

Hi Engy, welcome aboard

Here is our team page in the competition: http://formula-boinc.org/index.py?lang=en&team=399&year=2017
You can see what projects we are working on, there are still some we haven't got any points in.
If you are new to Boinc then have a look through some of the projects web sites to see what they are about or just ask for hints on what's available for what interests you.

It would be great if people want to help 24/7 but if that's a bit much just helping out in these Sprint challenges which last 3-4 days really does help the team in the Sprint and the Marathon for that project. The next sprint starts at 10pm UK time on 27th April but the project is announced 24 hours before that and will be posted in this thread.

Well done guys, that was fun. Turned out to be more carpet bombing than MOAB at the end.

MGP · 16 Apr 2017 at 23:55

I have a feeling that the MOAB tactic is going to make things a lot more unpredictable in the future.

I might have a Xeon hidden away somewhere.

engy if next time the challenge is on, expect a polite reminder in your email folder from me

.

just got it from work and catching up on the last few posts, awesome job from everybody involved. and to be fair we didn't even use all of the members like last time on that pogs challenge. there was still several members with some pretty serious fire power who wasn't even part of this challenge! now time to sort more power out for the next challenge!

whats every body doing now? got my pcs on NFS and servers running POGS, looks like theres some easy points on yoyo@home to be had!

seeing how the sprint moved us ahead of Anandtech in the numberfields marathon I'm staying on numberfields in case they make a move to take it back.

Or, if you're really lucky, several!

I'm running servers and a couple of short-term tests, so not in a position to switch this time. Sorry.

I would love to, but I no longer have access to the email I registered under (old job) and cannot remember the password.

ozaudio · 18 Apr 2017 at 01:51

if you edit your trust account email address to a more recent one that should do it.

Texas_Connectio has not configured his/her trust account

Texas_Connectio · 18 Apr 2017 at 01:52

Hmmm ... learn something new everyday

ozaudio · 18 Apr 2017 at 03:31

still not configured? will it not let you do it with so little post count? if not get posting more lol.

ozaudio · 18 Apr 2017 at 14:51
