Nothing wrong with silver!

While working on some WUProp goals by crunching Yoyo Cruncher ogr on my androids, earned a star on that badge.

Can't go wrong with a starry cow badge Scole

I've picked up some yoyo units the last couple of days and I'm hoping that I get enough credits out of them to get a harmonious tree badge

You could use a better contrasting map as well:

from another team's forum...
"Be aware, most of the remaining WU's have been errored out by many other hosts trying to run them. You most likely won't get much credit out of anything that's left. So hours is about all you can hope for."

And did he -Silver, aka Paul of TSBT- get hours....

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Thu Jul 09, 2015 7:11 am

Not only did I get some hours in, I managed to get the badge!
Never been so delighted to have a funny shaped T before

Adage for 'Silver': "The score!" he burst out. "Three goes o' rum! Why, shiver me timbers, if I hadn't forgotten me score!"
- from Treasure Island

or just plain

"Three goes o' rum! Why, shiver me timbers, if I hadn't forgotten me score!"

or

"Why, shiver me timbers, if I hadn't forgotten me score!"

Earned the new DENIS@Home 42K (marathon) badge and 300K 1UP Gold Heart badge. Doubt I'll ever see the next 1UP Heart, 3 Million Platinum

Will never happen unless they come up with a GPU app.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Jul 19, 2015 3:20 am

I'm not too far from the gold badge myself. Think they will have to reasses the badge levels though. A bit of a bridge too far .... unless they give up on creditscrew and award decent credit for effort.

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Sat Aug 08, 2015 5:31 pm

I managed to turn my WCG FightAIDS@home badge to emerald the other day :)

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Sat Aug 08, 2015 8:55 pm

Nice one! That's 1 year of CPU time, 8760 hours, on FAH for anyone not familiar with the WCG badge system.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Sun Aug 09, 2015 9:53 am

How do you guys manage to run so much OET WUs, I have to scratch them off the server by hand it seems...

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Sun Aug 09, 2015 11:52 am

I don't think I've had any OET WUs for a while Dirk, it's all been FAHV that my droids have picked up.
Is there a server status page for WCG so you can see units ready to send? I haven't managed to find it so I can see whats ready/remaining to crunch.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Sun Aug 09, 2015 12:49 pm

Are running OET on your android(s)? That's where I'm getting them.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Mon Aug 10, 2015 12:24 am

My only Android is currently a BeagleBone Black, and it receives a OET only now and then..

But on the sunny side of things: I can start going to paint both PrimeGrid and SRBase project badges golden now.

Well done sir

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Mon Aug 17, 2015 7:37 pm

Just earned a Sapphire badge for Mapping Cancer Markers and upgraded my numbers badge.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Wed Aug 19, 2015 10:59 am

Finally got the sapphire, 2 year, WCG UGM badge. CEP2 and MCM hopefully next.

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 10:41 pm

I've managed a WCG upgrade, now an Outsmart Ebola Together sapphire badge holder.
I'd also like to apologise to Dirk as I was obviously talking out of my Â£%$& when I said I hadn't had any OET units for ages.
I really need to pay more attention to what my droids are actually doing!

Edited - typo

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Mon Aug 24, 2015 11:47 pm

well done you. I get OET units on my droids and under linux.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Tue Aug 25, 2015 2:51 am

Nice shade of blue!

Just remembered, earned by GPUGrid Valine badge during this past challenge...

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Sun Aug 30, 2015 9:21 pm

Nice

That's what I miss about not being GPUGRID capable - those funky badges

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Mon Aug 31, 2015 1:22 am

Keep your eyes peeled for a GTX 750ti...

or a GTX 960...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from= ... 0&_sacat=0

or maybe GPUGrid will get the OpenCL app working on AMD cards. Try tried it but had issues.

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Mon Aug 31, 2015 11:50 am

Its not so much the buying gear Scole its being too tight to run it that's my problem

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Mon Aug 31, 2015 1:25 pm

Fair enough. Just wanted to mention a couple options that were relatively inexpensive to purchase as well as run. BTW, in case you or anyone does seriously consider a 750ti, there are 2 different tiers. Those that only draw power from the motherboard and use no more than 60 watts and those that require one PCIe power plug and use up to 80 watts.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Tue Sep 01, 2015 1:39 pm

And there's my gold SubsetSum badge

my androids have been chugging away at.

Get your badges signature graphic sorted out first and we'll see what we can do. Joining CSG would be a good start though

Post by **utopia-i** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:18 pm

Indeed if only it was that easy ,

I have this is my edit signature profile section

Code: Select all

[img]http://signature.statseb.fr/index.py?cpid=8959e0e2522daa6f6fb5ffc0301f108a[/img]

But doesnt show,

Also,

I cant get access to statsen.fr to mofify the image, Ive emailed 4 times and gave up

This is as difficult as beating Alez in a challege!

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 7:23 pm

Try this URL...
http://stats.free-dc.org/badgesbanner.p ... c0301f108a

It's your signature graphic from DC Stats which looks like this...

Not sure why your WCG badges aren't showing up though. Oh, I see now. In order for your WCG badges to show up, you'll need to request they be added. Post the request here...
http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread ... read/page4
Bok, the site owner/admin will set it up for you.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:22 pm

If I follow the url I get you stats image.

for a test

strange. Give me a min see if I can figure it out.

OK got it, that url is your page not you sig. You need to log onto your page, hit customise your sig and use the url there. it will end in .png and look like this ( my one ) http://signature.statseb.fr/sig-532.png

Post that URL into your profile , edit sig on the board and all should be good

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:56 pm

Yeah, the link used is for a web page, not a graphic file. Problem is utopia-i can't get logged into that site and the admin hasn't returned any request for help.

Utopia-i, do you know what email address was used there and are you still using it?

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 9:38 pm

I log in with my user name not my email address, and of course a password.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 9:57 pm

guess it is optional and I never set mine either.

utopia-i, do you have a userid for that site that does work? if not, create one. Then post a message on the forum asking for help. list all your CPIDs and ask for all the stats for those to attached to the one user id. also, put your email address on that account so an admin can email you.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Wed Sep 02, 2015 10:20 pm

Don't know if there is a forum but seb that runs the site is the same seb that runs wuprop. You could pm him there if we can't help you

It's signature.statseb.fr, not statsen.fr
The error you're making is thinking you need your cpid 8959e0e2522daa6f6fb5ffc0301f108a into the signature while actually you do not.
You need to access your page at http://signature.statseb.fr/index.py?cp ... c0301f108a,
click 'Customize your signature', and edit/create it on that page (http://signature.statseb.fr/index.py?action=custom)
The url that is given on that page, above your created/edited signature, you need in your TSBT signature, for me that's http://signature.statseb.fr/sig-1455.png and before that it was another (lower) number than 1455.

BTW: They do have a forum, but you need to login the same way as you need to login to change your signature

Post by **utopia-i** » Thu Sep 03, 2015 8:12 am

Thanks for all the suggestions, not giving up on this!

So .....

.. Free-DC
Ive registered for forum and posted for WCG badges to be added to free-dc.org sig, that will be good as the admin seems to be proactive, I'll at least get something on display :bounce:
----

Busy on the http://signature.statseb.fr issues as well ..

I have registered successfully and posted for help on the Forum and emailed again ..

Still canny log into modify my sig, yes its the same username and password as the forum, even tried a different browser, ? - you wouldn't guess I do IT support would you .... geez ... this is frustrating ..

almost there, almost there, almost there ...

What happens when you log into http://signature.statseb.fr/index.py?
I give my username and password there and get into "Your account",
there I click 'Customize your signature' to get to http://signature.statseb.fr/index.py?action=custom

What do you get?

Post by **utopia-i** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 4:16 pm

Thanks again for offering to help, I can't et logged in at all, despite logging into forums with same username and password, no reply from forum post.

I type in username and password, screen redraws and asks for username and passord again.

Cant register as a new use as says CPID already exists ...

Anyhow, I have a DC sig so all is not lost :bounce:

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Fri Sep 04, 2015 5:01 pm

Nice badges!

(you can ignore write up below, but I'll leave it here as info about signature.statseb.fr and CPIDs)

You have 3 different CPIDs at signature.statseb.fr. Which means you've used 3 different email addresses on various BOINC projects. The CPID is tied to the email address. If you change the email address used at a project, the CPID will also change to that email's unique CPID.

If you can get logged into just one of the 3 different signature.statseb.fr accounts, then you can change the email address on all your BOINC projects to the email address linked that CPID. If you can't get logged into any signature.statseb.fr account, the CPIDs registred under those accounts are frozen (unless the admin steps in). If that's the case, you could always change the email address on all the projects (or ones with badges) to a new email address not used yet or just not tied to a CPID used under an existing signature.statseb.fr account.

Post by **utopia-i** » Sat Sep 05, 2015 7:33 am

I have used just ONE email address for ALL the projets I partake in, for some reason cpids and me just dont get on.

I'll recheck Asteroides@home as I need that working well pre and post the upcoming challege which Im in for ... (Dont tell Alez

Looks like you already corrected the Asteroids badge into your signature, Utopia-i
