Optimised A@H is fast. I crack one WU in about 33minutes. So maybe nothing is lost.

Nothing is lost, no. Your bunker drop can be seen in the last table above and will have heads being scratched in the Ukraine :P

Looking good after the first 15mins. Remember the points showing here are only those earned by the team since the start of the challenge (15:45 UTC)

What about WU with 'validation pending' status? Do they count?

#27 Re: 13/2 - 20/2 Acoustic@Home challenge

Posted: Wed Feb 13, 2019 4:34 pm
by davidbam
No, not until they are validated. The good news is that some of the bunkers we dropped early will validate during the Challenge and will count towards it. Conversely, some WU will not yet be validated at the end of the challenge and hence will not count towards it.

Regardless though, they ALL count towards team totals for Formula Boinc marathon and other stats

I've got 126K points in Pending at the moment but I guess everyone is in that same situation.

At time of writing, we actually have more points (1884246) than the other 15 teams added together (1822968)

Pleasantly surprised by my laptop, i7-7820HQ CPU @ 2.90GHz completes a WU only very slightly slower than the Threadripper 2990WX. Pity it only has 8 threads :P

I'm sure you don't mean me but I'll confess anyhow ... I thought I'd grab a bunch of WU in case they ran out. Unfortunately I forgot to stop WCG also downloading WU. It gave me lots of urgent WU which are hogging my threads even though Acoustics has 10x the priority of WCG. You know me ... I'd hate to abort them

Second place looks safe but I'll be staying on Acoustics as the points will still come in very handy for the year-long marathon. Plus, I am keen to see if I can get 7th user place in this challenge :D
