There was a lot of low hanging fruit to be picked 
Lots of teams with not many points more than us so easy to do a lot of team overtakes and get the Vault points, it was the same with our primaboinca position. Your comment on our expected points for these projects in the other thread prompted me to look and see what could be had for the least effort.
If you want more cores a little trick I've found is that if you click on the logo at the top of the forum it takes you to a site where you can order bags of haribo and they send you free bits of computery stuff
Sadly the haribo don't last long so you have to keep ordering more
Out of interest, when do you think you will achieve you Einstein ambition ?

Never the less your output is impressive, I tried to be nosey and see what you've got but you have all your machines hidden

Haha, I'm happy with the amount of cores I have at the moment, I've no more room for any other machines anyway, though I will be looking at the new 8 core haswell-e when it comes out
but will probably look away when I see the price.Hopefully by the next world cup
I *was* thinking around 3-4 months, but I seem to have been a little optimistic. I calculated my 7970 would do 110,000 ppd and I have 2 x 290s and 2 x 7950s but I've since learnt the 290s don't perform that well on Einstein, the GPU usuage is up and down like a fiddler's elbow even with several threads, something to do with something being limited, on the 7970 it's steady as a rock, don't know how the 7950s will perform yet. Think I'll have to treat that goal as a marathon rather than a sprint.Majestic-12 has now stopped accepting new members,

Being as the acceptance of new members is one of the criterias of the vault competition this project will no doubt be removed.

Okay, was thinking the Einstein number 1 spot would take some time and require some serious input, 4 years time is achievable but will still need the input ! At least the increase will keep the vultures currently hovering above from picking our bones
I stopped doing Majestic a few days before the announcement as A) I'd overtaken you and B) it used a lot of bandwidth on my non-fibre line. I had throttled it back but it still really slowed things down when uploading GPUGrid results.
Dimes results aren't being updated in the Vault positions
Ido said they lost a server and had to move the data when it last failed at the end of June but that got fixed and Free-dc are showing correct stats, we are at #23 but the Vault still has us at #25

Does anyone know what the silver/grey button with MM on it in my trophy cabinet is for ?
I only have three, a lovely molecule from GPUGrid, a silver medal for services to Numberfields and the M&M. First thoughts was that it was for MindModeling but they don't have badges, hanluc has done MindModeling and has a green M&M but stan_lite has the same M&M as me but hasn't done MindModeling

It might have helped if I had said it was my Free-dc trophy cabinet. Anyway I found the answer to my question...
The MM badges are for how many MM categories you have an entry in. So if you are on the 10K, 25K, 50K, 100K and 500K MM's you'd be in 5 categories and would earn the bronze badge. More categories gets you higher badges
MM being for Mega Milestones. So that explains why hanluc has a green (emerald) M&M but now means I have to go and find out what a Clank is for !

PDW, last I knew these are the requirements for some of the weird named MM's
Boks are #projects between 100000 and 101000 (need >1)
Trigggls are #projects between 10000 and 10100 (need > 1)
TeraBoks are #projects between 1000000 and 1010000 (need > 1)
vaios are #projects where createdaterank < 10 (need > 5)
clanks are #projects with credit in the last28 days (need > 9)
maxwells are #megamilestones where you have at least 1/2 of the top score in that category (any)
mirbs are #projects where you are in the top1000 (need > 1)
Boks are #projects between 100000 and 101000 (need >1)

Miss your post somehow, though I didn't know the answer anyway
I see now we both have gold MMs, have you a link explaining it? I like badges though I have to keep trimming the ones in my sig due the size rules This link was one I found, it also explains some of the MM categories...
http://www.setiusa.us/archive/index.php/t-5722.html
The various colours are determined by the number of categories of MM's you have:
&mmbadges('freedc',' ',5,10,'bronze.png');
&mmbadges('freedc',' ',10,15,'silver.png');
&mmbadges('freedc',' ',15,20,'gold.png');
&mmbadges('freedc',' ',20,25,'emerald.png');
&mmbadges('freedc',' ',25,30,'ruby.png');
&mmbadges('freedc',' ',35,40,'sapphire.png');
I moved up to gold because I hit 50M in GPUgrid. I think you moved down from emerald to gold because you lost your Clanks and maybe Maxwells (I think you had those yesterday), don't ask me why though !
The link explains the weird categories of Trigggls, Boks, Teraboks, Maxwells, Clanks, Vaios, MiRBs. It explains them but I'm not sure I understand it
My Clanks and Vaios turned up today, I think because I now have 10 projects I'm contributing to
I like the badges/trophies too
I remember seeing my first few POGS trophies but hadn't logged into their main site to see them since then, having hit the 1M yesterday during the challenge I went and looked and was stunned at how many I now have. Would love a sig with all those in but then there wouldn't be any room for writing anything

Been testing my 7950s on Einstein, woeful in comparison to the 7970, so far I've determined:
R290: GPU usage is erratic, no matter how many threads are applied and I am now getting validation errors, that is my results are not matching other users.
7970: two threads gives me 95% GPU usuage, 3 threads 96% with this setting I can complete 3 Perseus Arm Survey tasks for 3,333 credits each in just over two hours.
7950: two threads gives me 99% GPU usage but the run time is over 10 times slower than the 7970, 24 hrs completion time running the same 3 threads on Perseus Arm Survey tasks.
It seems that the only AMD card worth running on Einstein is the 7970/280x, I've not tried any Nvidia cards, I have a couple of 570s but I doubt they'd be much cop.

Firstly, apologies to Coleslaw, the last time I looked/replied I didn't see either of your posts about the MM button and categories. So either I need to see an optician or they magically appeared some time after I last posted
I was only using nVidia cards for Einstein and not AMD ones, didn't really take much notice of their relative performance. I just let them run and the points only seem to roll in once you start building up a big head of steam of completed units awaiting validation. I've stopped for the moment, going to let you catch up a bit Are you still aiming for the next World Cup or the one after that now ?

Coleslaw PM'd me over at the vault forums saying that he replied to you and his posts didn't show up here, he posted what he said to me but I didn't pass it on to you because in the mean time the link you gave me had the same info.

I'll be king before the next world cup mark my words
unless you have something to say about it I've been testing the water, trying different work units, on linux and on the CPU, I'm going to go for it after I've finished on SoB, which will be when we as a team get to around pos 30 I think, there's a big leap to 31st if I remember right (stats are down at freedc atm so not 100% sure) the card I'm going to use is in the same machine as the SoB one and when running einstein it effects SoB performance... and I'll be downing tools on Fri for a week or so, off on me hols
EDIT now that the stats are up I see it's pos 37 -38 that has the big gap, around 1.9p.

Okay, so some sort of magic then rather than a need for me to be certified
It'll be a while before you really start and you have a bit of catching up to do so I'll wait and see what I'm doing at the time as to whether I'll feel the gravitational pull to stop you
Edit: Forgot to say hope you're having/had a good holiday, hopefully somewhere cooler than the UK !

and thanks, we had a nice break in the Uk and the weather was unusually lovely
