Seem's there's some cheating going on...
http://oproject.info/forum_thread.php?id=110
PNT's numbers for a cpu only challenge is ridiculous.

[Megacruncher]

Definitely fishy. I wasn't planning to take part in this one anyway.

[Alez]

I wouldn't recommend anyone waste resources on this project at the moment. Seems to be constantly broken for me anyway.

From Willy at Boinc Stats......

http://boincstats.com/en/stats/138/team ... 4/overview

70,467,939.16
Comprising 20,853,423.98 from the daily update
+ 49,614,515.18 since then

PNT team got 49,614,515 credits in one day.

Never see that in other CPU projects.

If it's a bug in the credit system, please try to fix it.

Thx.

Have posted on their message board on this topic stating that we will not be competing in a challenge that allows such cheating by the team calling the challenge.

Bit late as stuck in foreign fields as it were but... TSTB 11 from 13. Polish national Team effectively disqualified for cheating and open warfare on the message boards resulting in them getting threatened with being banned. PNT have previous at this but the numbers they posted were crazy.
Any hoo a few guys earned credits during this fiasco, namely Reeltime in 63 and MarkRBright in 71.
