FANTASTIC!

Well the light bulb finally came on ... we aren't going to be passed by CharityEngine3. They are a "user" and part of the ByteBall team. :lol:

CharityEngine is a collection of many people who "pool" their machines together to get paid. It is the same as the GridCoin pools. On other projects, CharityEngine, is actually part of team GridCoin. On WCG they belong to ByteBall since it pays better than gridcoin.

That’s okay then! :lol:

I don’t actually see any imminent threats behind us. We’ll be 99th tomorrow. Other gains will follow, even if only core members remain, and soon we shall be safe!

As for becoming a Linux snob. I doubt if I’ll ever have the technical knowledge to be a proper badass hardcore Linux geek. Also I’m never going to be a Windophobe. Even if my farm is mainly Linux powered from now on there will always be a few Microsoft machines in the house. Just like every other house on the planet. There’s a lot to be said for ubiquitous mediocrity over esoteric excellence. Remember the VHS vs Betamax fight?

[mention]Megacruncher[/mention] - you really don't need to be a Linux whizkid to run BOINC. BOINC is BOINC whether you are on Linux or Windoze, they work exactly the same. The only difference is where the files are stored. /var/lib/boinc-client vs c:/program data/boinc. Other than that they operate the same, app_config, app_info, cc_config etc are all the same. In fact you can copy them from your Windows installation and use them in Linux.

If you setup your machines as dual boot then you can have the best of both worlds. Run them under Windows when that is needed or run them under Linux when that is more efficient.

Not only do I remember the VHS vs Betamax fight I remember 8 track tapes vs cassettes :lol:

8-track continuous loop audio cartridges were a masterful piece of engineering. Shame it took something half the size of a VHS tape to hold 45mins of music :lol:

I need 4.5 days to get the Zika badge I'm hunting and that will be that for WCG. At least until the new projects come out and then I'll have to get those badges :lol:

Personally, I’m more than happy to settle for us ending the year as 91st! :-)
This far exceeds my ambitions for 2018!
We are now secure in the top 100 for WCG & everything else.
Rejoice!

I still need 3 days to get my 100 year Zika badge so we will be close to 90th or have it when I wrap it up. I will definitely pull off of WCG the second I hit my goal :lol:

Hi there Mega - good to see you back

As far as WCG goes, I will be happy to keep most of my cores busy on there while you mercenaries go off hunting badges :lol: I think the rest of the TSBT team should be able to largely sustain our #91 position (with one or two possible exceptions; Fairleigh Dickinson University, 5by14). We'll soon holler if we need the cavalry

We didn't drop a place after all. Neumannium Labs not earning much at all ATM.

More significantly, TSBT is earning more since the end of the Acoustics challenge; it looks like this weekend might actually see us gain a place instead :dance:
