Are you running solar panels?
With the initial cost are you seeing a real savings in your operating costs?
Or is it a little over break even when you consider how long they will keep operating...

I sure am sir!! I have had them installed since the September 2017 and if I wasn't using all the power I produce to power the crunchers and help with the bill in that way, I'd guess my bills would be low but then in my head, it probably wouldn't seem as needed or necessary to have the solar panels in the first place!!

My array isn't very big to be honest, I've 12 panels on the roof and that's around a 4kW array size If I'm totalling up just my payouts that I get for the tariff I'm on, then I'm about 50% paid back, but considering the array has made over 30,000 kW in the time its been installed (since 2017) I'd say with the cost of the electric over here and so on, I think its definitely paid for itself

I'll have another look tomorrow when I'm back from work and I'll reply to your message I've been stupid and missed again! (Apologies for that!!)

Stupid?....Oh Please don't beat yourself up.
Yer friggin busy man...
I'm the set and forget guy...
Yer the non stop guy

I was just curious if you feel the benefit of having it.
Sounds like you do.
Question is does the math show it?

Still there we are, one more day done and more to come!! Great work and job everyone, hope to see you back again real soon!!

Things have changed a bit since I got my solar panels over here, they've changed the way they give out the cash for the solar generation which is a bit of a shame but guess they where loosing too much on the panels.... I'll see if I can find out and throw some stats up There was another gent from Australia who had them on the forum, @Outback Bronze I think it was?? If that's correct my memory isn't doing bad!!

Well well, there we are again!! It seems Linus Tech Tips team has a bit of a jump ahead on us, but I do wonder how many members and how many rigs are working for them!! Wonder if I can find that out easily, I'm sure I can have a look....
Still, excellent work everyone, great to see you all pushing for the support and contribution for TPU Hope to see you all back again tomorrow for another update !! Take care everyone!!

Not a bad day today everyone Nicely done indeed!! I'm not sure what is going on with Linus Tech Tips but we can try and deal with that another day I think we have a few days worth of points ahead of them so we'll have plenty of time to try and change that

I hope everyone is doing well and has had a good Saturday!! Take care everyone!! Hope to see you all again real soon!!

9th!! 6,427,008!!

And there we are with another great update I think over at Linus Tech Tips, there's a bit of special sauce with their crunching going on so be interesting to see if we can catch up or if they drop down after a few weeks/months etc.... I know sometimes they seem to ramp up when there's a few challenges on, wonder if they have a few more new members too....? Oh well, all is good in love and crunching I guess

Hope everyone is doing well and has had a good day so far!! Take care everyone, see you back again soon as!!

For the record...
I have a large amount of "Ready to Report" instances for WCG projects..
This is from just 1 computer...I have 7 more

I hate to have to throw them away once they expire...

PS..The "Not requesting tasks" is normal since it is running cpu tasks only..
I will be work fetch suspending WCG tasks

@SmookinJoe - it's a known issue which of course doesn't help much...a usefull link below.
WCG forum, status

 

[SmookinJoe]

Thanks mstenholm
I just hadn't seen very many of these issues lately
Or maybe thought it was my end...

 

[SmookinJoe]

Since I called them out they seemed to have cleaned up my "Ready to Report" backlog of WCG and have become worthy of me doing additional tasks for them...

9th!! 5,833,201!!

And there we go, I'm not sure what the heck is going on with the stats sites for the moment but Free-DC seems to be getting nowhere at the moment, so I'll see if I can have a look into the other site so we can try and get something for the stats

I hope everyone is doing well and is OK... I hope to have some stats for tomorrow but we'll see!! Take care everyone!! Hope you've had a good day!!

Take care everyone, I hope to see you all back again tomorrow for another update for WCG!! Hopefully we'll have gained back our 10th spot!! Take care everyone!!

I'm not sure why stats.Free-DC.org isn't working at all?? Can you access it at all @mstenholm ??

Been meaning to find some time to go through the Boinc Stats pages but just been fighting a loosing battle for the moment to get anything done time wise

EDIT - Just done a little bit of digging and found a couple threads elsewhere for some information....

Linky for info 1

Linky for info 2

Taken from the second linky from Hardforum .....

Site has been down for quite a few days now. Can't find anything about what's going on. Anyone have any info that might shed some light on it?

Quoted from other discord channel with my added remark in italics:
"Turns out a car hit a sub power station that took out the power. His (Bok, Free-DC admin) database server booted fine when the power came on, but the web server did not. He's not sure why and doesn't have the time right now to figure it out."

Bok has been hosting and managing Free-DC stat website for almost 2 decades. Just my opinion: age probably catches up at some point. Don't have any indication of ETA.

Dang it I'm not a fan of Boinc stats pages but guess I'll be getting used to it again!! Will report back soon everyone!
