Challenge starts in less than 48 hours....

Standing By!

BUCK NASTY · Nov 14, 2014

Have we considered going offline and dumping a bunch of work when the challenge begins?

thebluebumblebee · Nov 14, 2014

Who's standing by? I put the pedal to the metal this morning.

There's lots of talk about that at XS, but I'm not in favour of it. While it's certainly not cheating, I consider it unsporting. I'd rather just let things run as they run.

Not sure what you mean....

I'm sure some teams will do that, but I think it's more fun to play it straight. It feels too hard core to start squirreling away work units. I think this should be more of a genteel contest than something more serious.

XS has some pretty extreme tactics from what I've seen. Holding some work back is a personal choice not a Team priority.

I'll hold 48 hrs worth on 2 of my rigs. I feel fine with that step as long as it's not submitted late.

Yeah if people want to do it, I suppose that's their business. But I'm pursuing my 100k day anyways, and it would be less exciting if it was accomplished by buffering three days of work and submitting all at once.

Still crunching away with the i7 4770 and the Q6600, so I am in

volkor · Nov 14, 2014

Count me in.

This morning? I welded the gas petal to the floor a few years ago.

Crunching at 100%

I see you're new here--do you need help getting anything set up?

AlienIsGOD · Nov 14, 2014

win 10 giving me no problems so far

Same here. I have had it up for weeks. It shows up to boinc as windows 8.1 though.

I'm not 100% sure. I have BOINC with WCG project and i'm in TechPowerUp! team, is that enough?

If you want to post a screenshot of the BOINC Manger, open to the Tasks tab that would be awesome :toast:

One thing to check--by default WCG only uses 60% of your CPU maximum--by setting it to 100% you can greatly increase the amount of work done

To do that, click Options -> Computing Preferences -> and there's a box at the very bottom of the window--forgot the exact wording but it's something like "Use at most xx% of my CPU"

Nordic · Nov 14, 2014

I am not opposed to sand bagging but I don't feel like taking the time to set it up with 5 rigs.

theonedub · Nov 14, 2014

Would Alien Isolation be a decent AAA title for the game giveaway?

Mindweaver · Nov 14, 2014

I'm in... but it's been awhile since I've done a challenge.. What do I need to do?

I´m in for the competition and I think that´s all about crunch and try to achieve the maximum points (?),
The after comes later.
