WUprop Badges bragging thread

They've seen even more light and got the broom through the various CERN applications under the various project names...lost a lot of stars that didn't even had the hours to get bronze

Have to say Dirk that I have been less than impressed with GCC so far, not sure I want to start mining for them. If they take it serious and get an ASIC app up and running then maybe .... otherwise my last few miners will be sold after the demise of BU.

As it stands you can only mine for them using your GPUs, which can be put to better use elsewhere.
I keep pushing them for decent export stats, but they seem to have hidden the entire Polish cabbage harvest in their ears.

I'm sure there must be onion and beetroot in the mix. No Asics no intrest

Well gee guys, you need to mine it for 100 hours to get a little star

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Mon Jul 31, 2017 8:30 pm

It's not official yet but I earned my 8th ruby star (3rd on the second badge)

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Fri Aug 25, 2017 10:09 pm

I've been working on this...my 2nd 25k hour lime star

I'm working on it too, but it takes some time -especially when your hardware comes crashing down your ears...

Be kind to people Dirk and they might not throw hardware at you.

It is just that the systems around me come with problems (e.g. bulging capacitors) and that solving one problem (transferring Windows 10 HDD from Intel system to AMD system) creates another.
If people did throw hardware at me -preferably recent stuf- I'd be glad to catch it...

Just received my 15th star, whoot!

Well done you. Is that a new 15th star or did you not loose any time when Seb went all internet / boinc police ?

The boinc police only re-assessed some of my precious stars. Funny how that sounds like something arsed...

4th 10,000 hour magenta star

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Tue Jan 16, 2018 2:58 pm

No badge upgrade but I earned my 16th 100,000 hour app purple star

. Just 4 more to go.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 2:44 pm

Just added a sapphire star to my second badge. An emerald and ruby star were also added to that badge not long ago

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Feb 04, 2018 10:33 pm

Well done you.
Think I need seven more apps to gain my 15th star.

Edit 6 more

5 blank stars on the wall .....

3 blank stars .....

due to duchamp impossible to run units, looks like I may fall 1 short. Need yoyo sieve to step up to the plate

There's Enigma CUDA, Gerasim Test separator, Rosetta for Android (danger!), YAFU-8t (which you can run on 2 threads

) and of course Yoyo Siever

I couldn't get Enigma CUDA to work before I left, everything just errored.
YAFU -8t should get me another star in about 4 hours.
Another day or so should get me a star out of GoofyxGrid CPU Htest provided the units keep flowing as I only have access to my laptop so can't just stick it on everything and blitz 100 hrs.
After that hopefully pick up enough Yoyo siever or perfect cuboid to get me over the line.
Gives me something to do and out of mischief I guess

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sat Feb 10, 2018 8:36 am

All blank spaces filled in and 15 stars on the board

Now, make one of those bronze stars turn silver

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Feb 11, 2018 10:08 pm

That's a bronze star gone silver

I'd like to make a silver go gold, but think an upgrade of a gold to ruby is more likely

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Tue Feb 13, 2018 10:33 pm

I've been crunching a lot of PrimeGrid CPU to get these...
Earned my 5th 1000 hour ruby star on my second ring

, earned my first 500 hour gold and second 250 hour silver star on my third ring

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Wed Feb 14, 2018 3:44 am

Well done. Many hours, many cores :)

Post by **Bryan** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 7:41 pm

And for the 3rd time I get the 1st star in the 5th ring. I wonder what Sebastian will decide to remove or consolidate this time to drop me back again.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Tue Feb 20, 2018 12:04 am

Well done [mention]Bryan[/mention]

I made a gold go ruby on my 2nd ring. Working on a silver to gold star.

Well done Alez! Let me dig into the gift bag and find a proper award! Do you fancy SPAM? I hear it's all the rage in Hawaii.

Made it to another gold star

GoofyxGrid CPU has now given me an update of another pink star.

This one is like a yoyo, up and down, up and down!

I hope you'll understand if I don't send a card this time.

In other news, I've earned my 3rd bronze star on my 3rd ring

...for the first time. So I'm expecting a card. With money in it.

My third star is now magenta, may re-colour another star soon too...

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sat Oct 06, 2018 1:33 pm

[mention]Dirk Broer[/mention] Well done you. I'm struggling to upgrade any new stars. We really need a burst of new projects / apps to boost my collection or I need to actually concentrate on a project long enough to do some damage. All this jumping around on Formula BOINC sprints is not good for long term numbers. It's a long slog just now.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Fri Apr 05, 2019 11:42 pm

That took longer than I thought. I now have my 8th star at jade, and my 13th star at gold, all of a sudden.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Mon Apr 08, 2019 11:26 pm

Good job Dirk.

I just earned my fifth 10,000 hour magenta star

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Fri Apr 12, 2019 12:22 am

I can feel a 16th star coming up, with nano hubs at a time....

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:12 pm
