I also got two Beta units.

Yesterday we were projected to be, and this was unofficial strictly, number 21 when only the top 20 will a following round after the top 50 got trimmed down to 20.
Well, it is my official opinion that I view that as a challenge for our team. I think we should show them that we shall fly high.

Tonight we moved up into 24th place! Well done Team!!

Posted: **Fri Sep 11, 2020 11:10 am**

On the latest update we are ranked number 20. We are moving up nicely. Can we be even nicer? :):)
Does anyone know what tasks to focus on to earn the most running time related points when that will be counted and not the running time?

Posted: **Fri Sep 11, 2020 12:03 pm**

If they have work I think it's "SCC".
"OP" is another good one.
I haven't ran any of the others is a Long Time..

That's #20 on the 'Pure' list, on the overall list TSBT is #24, just behind AMD Users...

Thank you Pecos for the information. I am doing everything right now to make sure I have work, but I will follow your information when we do get to the "points counted state."

Posted: **Fri Sep 11, 2020 2:58 pm**

Thank you for the correction Dirk.
We now have 21 crunchers working on this project! Go Team. Our leaders in the front: Pecos, Megacruncher and scole.

PS: Sorry for the double post earlier.

We are still number 24 in the Thor Challenge as of tonight.This week or next week we need to make a good push.

Posted: **Sat Sep 12, 2020 6:32 pm**

scole did you turn those cpu's lose? You had a very nice score yesterday.
pecos, saving those 12 computers still, lol? They will be well rested for when they are needed.
I am going flat out without red lining the computers.

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2020 11:24 am**

We are still #24 as the first week of Thor Challenge comes to a close. In a day our captain will receive the letter of invitation for the second week of the contest that will be sent to the top 50 teams.
We now have 23 of us working hard toward the same end.
Go TSBT!

Did anyone else notice that some tasks(not Africa) take over 17 hours? I wonder if they are hung up? Should I abort them after 6 hours?
Thank you
Miklos

Miklos

which others are taking a long time?

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2020 5:06 pm**

I'll chuck the system I have online on this tonight if I get a chance. Not going to break any records ….. but I guess any little helps right. Pity my droids don't seem to pick up any WCG as they can rack up hours but not points.

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2020 5:44 pm**

I think it was either Mapping Cancer or Microbiome.

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2020 5:45 pm**

Alez, tell your droids that hours matter right now, until the final week when it changes to points.

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2020 6:31 pm**

greetings ... I have only one project running ... it is africa rainfall ... with two computers there are aproximetly two tasks per day ...

hopefully it helps Our's Team ... altough in general ... I am not a races fan ... but having my priorities of finding ... Sierpiński's number with SoB ...

Let's solve Sierpiński Problem TOGETHER !!!

Tell WCG to give my droids work again

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2020 6:52 pm**

It all helps Gregg, thank you.

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2020 6:53 pm**

I will FAX them, lol.

Posted: **Sun Sep 13, 2020 7:07 pm**

It is Mapping Cancer , the ultra long tasks.

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 10:12 am**

We are still waiting for the official results this morning and as well as the qualifying teams list. Does anyone know it?
The second week is on the way and a safe assumption we are in it with the top 50 teams.

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 1:21 pm**

We finished 25th and will have qualified.

Scole won the individual challenge if this screen shot I just took is anything to go by. Well done.

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 2:01 pm**

Thank you Megacruncher for the post. Congratulations for the good results TSBT. It was a great team effort and especially nice going scole.
A short celebration is in order and then we need to get going for the second week of the Thor Challenge and reach for that elusive 20th spot.
We can do it if we commit to it. Dust off those machines and turn on the A/C let them roar ahead.
Let's do another within the team challenge!

Posted: **Mon Sep 14, 2020 3:17 pm**

I think Gridcoin were in first place, but I guess they will be excluded by the competition rules.

Indeed. And Obyte were second and should also be kicked out.

There are actually two competitions: Overall and 'Pure'. Greedcoin (aka 'the Borg') qualifies for the first, but not for the second.

As they wrote at the WCG forum

At the end of the third week of the THOR Challenge, 20 teams will be selected to participate in a fifth week of challenge called THOR Challenge Pure.
Three conditions must be fulfilled in order to be eligible for the THOR Challenge Pure:
1- Not to be a team affiliated (directly or indirectly) with a company, association, foundation, government agency, administration, university, college or school.
2- Not to be a team rewarding the distributed computing of its volunteers financially.
3- Have at least participated in the first week of the THOR Challenge (September 07 to September 13, 2020).
Among the eligible teams, the 20 teams that have accumulated the most Total Run Time during the first 3 weeks of challenge will be selected for the 5th week, the THOR Challenge Pure.
- This fifth week will take place from Monday, November 02, 2020 to Sunday, November 08, 2020.
Invitations will be sent to the Captains of the 20 best teams on Tuesday, October 13, 2020.
The team that wins the THOR Challenge Pure will be the one that have accumulated the most WCG Points in this fifth week.
The teams will be informed of their eligibility to the THOR Challenge Pure at the time of their registration to the THOR Challenge (in this thread and once their registration is official).

There are 22 of us crunching now so we are getting stronger in numbers. Let's keep going hard, we should be able to qualify for the final week.

We have been invited to take part in the second week & I have accepted the invitation.

Posted: **Tue Sep 15, 2020 2:00 pm**

Thank you Megacruncher, I guess I will cool the jets a bit and get ready for the second week.

Posted: **Fri Sep 18, 2020 3:28 am**

I can't see the format for the 2nd week - is it points or time please?

Posted: **Fri Sep 18, 2020 7:39 am**

It is Run Time. So a nice occupation for your Pi armada..

Posted: **Fri Sep 18, 2020 5:56 pm**

So it's Monday, September 21, 2020 to Sunday, September 27, 2020 ? Correct ?

Posted: **Fri Sep 18, 2020 8:43 pm**

does bunkering work the same way on run-time challenges? I may be over-thinking things

I hope so:) Bring those Pi's. It will be 8 pm here when it starts. FL time.

Posted: **Sun Sep 20, 2020 8:20 pm**

Can we do a SB and qualify for the top 25? Any ideas, anyone?

Posted: **Sun Sep 20, 2020 8:22 pm**

Posted: **Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:33 pm**

Sorry I meant FB.

Posted: **Sun Sep 20, 2020 9:39 pm**

FB will count any points that we produce during the year (for marathon). Doesn't matter if we were in another challenge or something... points we produced will count to the team we're on thru out the year.

If you are wondering whether we have the resources to fight a FB Sprint and simultaneously compete in this challenge then that's a fair question.
I think priority will be given to the sprint, whatever it is, but we will all spare a bit for WCG. Then of course we have our WCG stalwarts who always crunch it come what may.

On the way to the Top 25 in WCG.
