I did maths at university and the best I can do is drop the units then suck it and see.... what does that say about Boinc credit ?

10 hours until the kick off. Looks like we are just shy of taking 96th before the start. I expect that after the bunker drops we should hit low 90's. Here's hoping. Going to be very intresting to see how much we have all generated.

Even with "Seti" level credits I think we will be in the 80s. Scole has a full bunker!
I should say that I'm going to be very very disappointed if we don't get to that level after we drop. But you can never count on BOINC credits giving you what you rightfully deserve We are special you know!
No GC ... yet.

Nice table again but it's now out of date!
As of now:
TSBT have 46,623,940
Picard have 46,600,423
For those without the benefit of a maths degree, our number is bigger than theirs which means that we have moved up to 96th!

I would bother my arse to update the table but I suspect it's going to change radically in about 90 mins
Still, very happy my prediction of 96th before kickoff is valid.

2 Million on last update. That should put us up to at least 89th now.
Suberb effort by everyone involved.

I suppose the one good thing about the poor credit is that everyone is in the same boat. We've built a big buffer in both the competition and the top 100 standings.

#82 Re: 16/10-23/10 Who Will Win The Rosetta Rosette ? Rosetta@home
87th at the last count. Which in itself (and further gains are certain) means that once the comp is done Rosetta will be safe for many many months, even if we just leave it to the long-tern project stalwarts.
We shouldn't count our chickens but at present the comp is looking like a one horse race.
As regards the credits, they look all-right to Rip Van Winkle here. The 1950X had managed to get 22.7 KCr from 351 2hr WU before I started bunkering (64.6/WU). The 1061 bunkered 2hr WUs on the same machine delivered 67.5 KCr which is 63.6/WU not a significant drop.
Anyway it's going to be WCG for me after we're done here so I'll enjoy the relative bounty of Rosetta while I can.

The credits are what the credits are but the bunker was a major disappointment. In 48 hours prior to the start I did over 1M using 75% of my threads. In the 6 1/2 days I bunkered at 100% I only did 1.7M. I really hate it when Alez is right
Oh well, we will definitely move up in the standings and as you say it will last a long time!

Stats seem all screwed up on Bam at the moment for us on Rosetta but at least the main position is correct. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are in 87th place.
Well done all.
We hold the top 5 positions, although that will change as tguskill of TSC! Russia is cracking in the credit and will catch both Mega and myself and probabily Pete to.
7 of us in the top 100 so far.

CREDIT ISSUE SOLVED - MAYBE
I think I've solved the really low credit problem
As much as I hate to say it again, Alez was correct:
It has been bugging me why I had 48 hours of much better credits before I started my bunker (1M in 48 hours using 75% of my threads). This morning I started new instances and put my resource share at 0 and the run time at 1 hour WU. Yeah baby, my credits for 1 hour WU ranged from 25/hr to 150/hr. I have been running a steady 10-11k/hour since we did our bunker dumps. For the past 3 hours I'm at 17k/hour and that may get better.
The solution is to kill your big honking cache and pull work in very small amounts -or- as needed. I think what happens is the project issues new types of WU and as Alez said it doesn't know anything about them. So if you latch onto the new types of WU they will pay really good credits until the project comes up with a good average. In the meantime you get paid well. If you have a big cache then by the time you get around to crunching them the project has actually figured out what they are worth.
I'm experimenting with the run time - 1 hr vs 2. Before I started my bunker I was running 2 hour WU with zero resource share.
NOTE: since these are new instances it is possible that credit screw is involved also but it appears to be based on WU type and not across all WUs.
I think I've solved the really low credit problem
As much as I hate to say it again, Alez was correct:
But to return the world to proper balance I'll add that that was a half assed answer At least not the whole story!Rosetta grants credit based on the average claimed credit per decoy from all jobs submitted to date. So if you're the first to report, then you might get granted too much credit, but it will quickly get diluted by the reasonable credit claims from ever other machine that submitted results before yours did. Credit is low, seti low.

#92 Re: 16/10-23/10 Who Will Win The Rosetta Rosette ? Rosetta@home
Short answer:
Set your network cache low, like .01 days work and/or resource share to 0 (as long as you aren't running any other project at the same time) and set the WU run times to 1 or 2 hours?

Yes sir ... I stil don't have a feel for which is better 1 or 2 hours. But either run a VERY small cache or no cache. I've set mine to zero resource share.

Are you seeing an improvement also? Like Alez pointed out it is a crapshoot ... if you get a bunch of the new ones you get high credits. If not there is nothing lost.

I'm not feeling the love here. Seems my name is poping up a lot .... I'm running 2 hr units and have done so since the bunker drop on the basis that I will get 1 decoy quickly and then move on. Going to set a no cache regime for the last of the comp.

Believe it or not, I'm pretty sure that I've been told that before
Looking at the stats it appears we were dead even with TSC! today so I think they will have their hands full trying to catch us. I love it when a plan comes together.
I think Alez was dead on saying that it is a just luck of the draw. My credits have slowed down. Looking at the machines I'm not getting as many of the high paying type WU right now.
#101 Re: 16/10-23/10 Who Will Win The Rosetta Rosette ? Rosetta@home
We love you too Alez, that's why we pick on you
It would be nice if the credits would take off but I'm getting less and less optimistic. Earlier today it looked really great but now it is about down where I started. I'm just not getting enough of the high paying WU now ... DANG!!!
#102 Re: 16/10-23/10 Who Will Win The Rosetta Rosette ? Rosetta@home

It has been paying very well over the past few hours Look at the graph of team credits ... there is a major change in the slope! We're pulling away from TSC! now.

@Pete I wouldn't bunker anything Pete. Open them up with zero resource share and run 1 hr WU. Have NO cache at all. There are new types of WU coming out fairly often and they pay very very well until the project figures out what they are actually worth. After enough have been turned in the project drops the credits on them.
