Anyone going for it?

I'm going to try and give it a go :)

It's been pushed back until the 7th.

Pushed back a few more days to 2014-08-10 06:00 UTC, when new WUs will be available. No chance to bunker build up a pending credit pool.

It's on and we have a firm grip on 12th place with 33 credits The project servers are getting worked to death trying to generate new WUs. Between that and the BOINC Scheduler's attitude problem it's tough getting WUs.

I'm now on it, I missed the begining after all the flase starts for this one!
Should be able to make a small contribution to our tally :)

Excellent! I'm getting my butt kicked 5 ways trying to hang on to 12th. :bom:

I've managed to get some more units so fingers crossed I'll be of some help soon!
Your doing a pretty good job though Scole!

It took me a while to get work for this. Now I've got plenty but only 2 out of 88 completed tasks have validated so far. It's probably the same for most of us and I'd hope we can improve on our 11th place (of 16) with the first day nearly complete.

We're solidly holding 10th, but could gain at least of couple spots with another cruncher or two. Let's go Scots! :cheers:

Sorry boys, I haven't been doing as well at this as I had intended.
Forgot to stop work for virtualLHC@home and kept picking up units to run!
Should be on it now :banghead:

Good work Scole and Mega up towards the top of the list
Think we should still be in with a shot of moving up a place before the end :)

Indeed.

The Aussies are just 4K/5% ahead so with a little concerted effort we should be able to make 9th place. 8th is not impossible as the Ukrainians are only 19K ahead!

Chaarrggee! etc!

Even as things stand 10th of 23 probably counts as respectable for a CPU only project!

Not been on this either ( hangs head in shame ) Been a little preoccupied so missed this ( even more pathetic since I publish the competitions ) and on pushing for TSBT to be #1 in Universe@home my scheduler has been it's usual pig headed self ( I blame Boinc .... honest ). Any hoo, excuses over, think I have managed to get work on some systems to help out on the charge .

Scotties! We need more power! We are chasing BOINC@AUSTRALIA and just can't seem to overtake them for 9th of 23.
Row! POWER 10

Your wish has been granted, #9 and past Australia. Ukraine next, but with less than 2 days to go, probably a bridge too far.

We are just 8K in front and there is 34hrs left so no let up yet peeps!

17K ahead of the Aussies and with just 6hr 30min to go.
Let's not worry about complacency, we are 9th!

Looks like it , when it finishes will push more WCG
