#1 BOINC Pentathlon 2021

Post by scole of TSBT »

Call all Scots or those who wish to be Scottish for the next few weeks anyway. The BOINC Pentathlon hosted by SETI.Germany begins on May 5th 00:00 UTC and run until May 19th 00:00 UTC.

If you'd like to participate with us but don't have access to the war room, shoot me a PM and I'll get you squared away.

Asking all our new and old team members to please join us for the Pentathlon. We really need all the help we can get this year. Friends are welcome to join us too.

The Marathon project is SiDock this year. The SiDock WUs only have a 48 hours deadline though so don't load up more than you can get completed in 48 hours. If you want bunker for this event, wait until after May 3rd 00:00 UTC to load up.

Thanks

Has NFS been battered into the ground ? Can't get any new tasks, not sure if it's worth hitting SiDock for work quite yet....

So anyone on the team reading this, we really could be done with a few days of NFS crunching for the team.

TAAT found a loophole: upload tasks that are almost past the deadline, as they get verified first:
"Because tasks are validated in order. First ones sent out means first in line to get validated when returned"
All other teams can wait while TAAT's NFS results get validated, it seems.
Well, they didn't had enough in the end to block all teams.

TSBT finished 3rd for the bronze and took home 2 silvers and 3 bronze along the way.

We made taat pay through the nose to finish ahead of us, which was our goal.

Kudos to The Scottish Boinc Team!
