The challenge page on the WCG site does not seem to update here. I presume you are using the Free-DC site?

Doing my own chart between TPU and RIT from the WCG daily's and FreeDC's updates to see where we are between updates.

Norton · May 18, 2014

Still no update from the WCG Challenge link so here's my Excel version....

We've dropped into #2 position but are still within striking distance of #1

Great job Team!!! :toast:

Bring it to ME!!!!

All I have to say is good luck and here is what it does-

BTW, I just got a 1055/AsRock 870 MB combo yesterday from THE_MAD_SHOT. I'll be building a new crunching rig with these to replace the 1045t rig I'm donating, and will donate the 1055t rig to a future challenge eventually. Maybe the next challenge, maybe to one after that. But it will be donated eventually.

Very cool! :toast:

FYI- I opened a challenge thread on the WCG website forum:
https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,36819

If you visit the site regularly please post in the thread from time to time- let's see if we can keep it on the first page of "recent threads" over there

Peter1986C · May 18, 2014

I just tried to OC Edison to 3.6 GHz (from 3.0), if stable that 20% boost should be helpful. We shall see for the next couple of days whether it "works".

stinger608 · May 18, 2014

I added an old Dell Core2Duo yesterday..........Probably not much but a little is better than nothing I guess. :laugh:

Norton · May 19, 2014

Here's the 5/18 update- we're still losing ground to RIT but we've nearly stopped them from gaining any further ground on us....

5 days down and 5 more to go... we can do this!!! :toast:

Yeah but the admin password I don't know stops that working however all is not lost I've ubunto running off a usb stick crunching on my steam box so that's 8 more threads @3.5ghz.
And my steambox image lives on bonus.

I'm pretty sure the password is well documented. AFAIR, the default password matches the default username.

TheoneandonlyMrK · May 19, 2014

I had previously tried that without success but that was early on and might well work now but it's working atm ill mess after the challenge

I added my 3rd and last laptop, i5 2520m, 2 more cores and 4 more threads (10 core/20 threads) . I also upped my gaming laptop from 4.3 to 4.6.

My room is a nice sauna. I am sweating to the oldies.
