Step on it, TSBT! The four of you are outgunned by the two of us...oops: make that four of us.
And both our teams are below the treshold as it is

Im reminding myself that its the taking part that is important

The other issue I have is :-

Guess which WU is mine, ie 10 times slower !

Thats my excuse and Im sticking to it

If someone anyone has EASY blow by blow instructions on how to install the optimised app on Mac OS x 10 then please post or PM me = thanks and willing to give it a go. Despiration creeping in I agree

I totally missed this one and I'm now in the Netherlands. Sheeeeite planning on my part

Utopia-i , I have updated the thread with the optimised apps. There are now 2 to choose from for OSX. They are zip files. I have absolutely no idea how you do this in OSX as I've never used it but I will have a dig and see what I can find. I would try the sse3 first.
I think that the BOINC Data is stored in /Library/Application Data/ or /users/boinc_master/library/application_support/boinc/data .
In theory all you should have to do is close BOINC. Navigate to this path, find the directory that Dennis is stored under ( in both Linux and whine-os it's BOINC/projects/denis.usj.es_denisathome so I would guess the same for OSX ) Once there unzip the contents of the zip you downloaded into that folder and restart BOINC. Of course this is all theory as I haven't a clue.
Will let you know if I find anything better.

Are you? Where? Pity DENIS/Dennis will not run on OS X for PPC, otherwise I could bring out my Power Mac G5 canon....

In Den Helder waiting for the fog to go away so I can get to a NAM installation. Not looking good so far

Still in Den Helder as the fog didn't go away, it just got thicker. Try again tomorrow..... if not home I would guess.

Been very busy lately. Will tell all later, but got a late start but TSBT has moved up to 10th!

Current positions...

We appear to have lost MarkRBright to Gridcoin

Would that be the effect of steps 3 and 4 from their advertising? Or is it a conscious choice of Mark?

People just don't think. There is no such thing as a free lunch. They are running Gridcoin software and also projects. They are mining Gridcoins for the people who started it. Those guys give them a small kickback for mining for them.

Gridcoin Finance is probably the same thing except we mine for them and there is no kickback. On their front page they say they have over 20 years experience and when you click the link it sends you to the Gridcoin project.

@Scole ... I got an even later start than you did but I'm sneaking up on ya

Anyone know what the pay structure is or what it takes to earn 1 gridcoin?

Bryan, try not to twist your foot in my back too hard after you knock me down to get by me

So who has upset team SET I USA then ? = they are on a mission it seems stick / hornets nest come to mind

I think they just like giving teams a head start, then they release the kraken.

2 days to go and TSBT is currently 10th, but gaining on SETI.Germany! Come on lads, dig!

The qorum of 2 doesnt help but that applies to all i guess !

There is lots of WUs to be had but only get 36 max at a time so no bunkering, the speedy optimised app is a must.

Its a fast scoring challenge and I'm aiming for an 'everest' 825k badge ... More than joyous as I started with next to zip at the start. I've reached 60th and will hopefully hang on to that ...

I'll remember that on day 1 I was ahead of Mumps [ MM] before he let loose with a staggering display of crunching power as he zoomed to the top.

Put an app_config.xml file in your project folder that has:

<project_max_concurrent>X</project_max_concurrent>

X is the number of threads you have.

In your cc_config.xml file put in this command or change the number if it is there:

<ncpus>64</ncpus>

Under the ADVANCED TAB hit the read config files.

You now have a 64 core CPU and the project will give you 896 WU/ machine.

Even if you aren't bunkering you want to do this. It will load up a bunch of WU so when you get around to crunching them they will have "aged" so they will validate sooner than if you are always crunching new WU (like when you only have 36).

Though I hate to admit it, Bryan is absolutely correct on this and had I paid attention to him I wouldn't be in the situation I am now. My internet connection went down and I'm limited to occasionally uploading over my cell phone. Had I loaded up using Bryan's method I would have never run my cache dry, making me lose about 8 crunchable hours per day on 9 computers.

Sphynx, who's the mook at TWC that won't run coax for you? We'll make him an offer he can't refuse. 8) Get your guys to call my guys so they can setup some kind of microwave or IR repeater so you can piggy back on my broadband. Badabing!

First time I've been out of top 100 in a while .... poor effort

Well you can't win them all Alez, probably doesn't help if your not here either!
