Well so far we TSBT (ie. me) is holding 7th from 11, having crushed AMDusers, Boinc@Australia, UKBoinc Team and Fryxell. Currently hunting down Titans.
Anyone fancy lending a core ? or am I hunting solo :twisted:

Well done Sir!
I didn't notice this one on the list :oops:

If I've managed to hit the right bit of the screen on my phone hopefully when my computer connects to BAM next it should join the project and fingers crossed means you'll have a teammate crunching alongside you shortly.....

I'll help, but apparently I don't know the secret handshake required for the project to give me any tasks.

I see you two have clicked your heels and followed the magic brick road to a happy place where you have been granted Leiden units :D Now let's go grab 5th Image

Not sure what I did - or didn't do - but I'll keep crunching if I keep getting units.
Need to break into the top 50!

A guest or a ghost?
I can only see you, Scole, and myself down against TSBT. Or am I being really stupid on a Sunday!?

It's Whats Under The Kilt knocking out the Leiden tasks. Welcome to the challenge! I still wish I knew the secret to getting tasks on more machines. I can only get tasks on a couple of the slowest.

Pass, I didn't get any tasks for hours but now I am getting some more and funnily enough neither of my i7's are getting any tasks either.
If you use BamStats to control your machine try jacking the resource share way up.
I use bam to control all my machines and the first thing I did was set all the project resource share to 1. Update all the projects then after that you can allocate resources to projects in a manner simple humans can understand. :D

and Einstein now 92nd :D :D

Looks like you managed to get some units to run Scole!
You were just a blur as you flew past me :compress:

I tried all kinds of things and was able to get tasks to several systems. Not sure what the key was, but adjusting the resource share and suspending all other projects are the things I tried. Not sure either was the trigger or the server just chose the few it did and ignored the others. Anyway, I've kept a few systems busy with Leiden. Of course, my credits are just a drop in the bucket compared to What's Under The Kilt, whose doing some wicked Leiden crunching.

Yes, some of these BlackOps boys are seriously kitted out in the crunching department :D Should really be classed as honorary pirates Image
That's us past Poland into 4th place :bounce:

Final result: 4th of 13 Teams :D

Individually:
Alez ....... 17th
scole250 .. 22nd
Paul ........ 25th
Mega ....... 117th of 125! :oops: I only managed to get the one WU.

No sign of the masked stranger who crunched most of our credit and returned whence he came. Thanks anyway.
