Re: Announcing **Team CandlePowerForums** for SETI@home !

I'm just running it when I can. I don't leave any work comps on over the weekend (I'm the boss there). For the first week or so I didn't check my power settings so it would shut down after a couple hours. Happy to contribute at any level

Thanks, I was pleasantly surprised by it. I'm one of only two people overseeing this system at this time so maybe it will be available for a while.

Always happy to see new members. :wave:

Some interesting stats can be seen at the below link: (with cool graphs too)
http://www.allprojectstats.com/showteam.php?projekt=15&id=159664

• 73rd percentile for total credits (team) - and still climbing rapidly
• 99th percentile for productivity (recent average credit) - position 615 out of 63,500+ registered teams :thumbsup:

The 'silver' (or even 'gold') team badges should be pending by now.

The software is configurable to cache 10+ days of workunits if desired, so a computer with only limited connectivity can still be a substantial contributor.

615 out 63,500+, I say we skip that old silver and go straight to the gold.

Re: Announcing **Team CandlePowerForums** for SETI@home !

Having a little issue with computer. Will be up an running shortly. Good work guys!

My old little laptop sure does heat up - needs a cryos cooling bezel - when running boinc

I should probably nerf it to 80% cpu if I leave it going overnight. It's a 2010 MBP with a core duo so it's hella slow.

615 out 63,500+, I say we skip that old silver and go straight to the gold.

Merely two days later, I see that we're now #514 out of 63,500+ teams for output - pretty good if you ask me.

I have to keep my 'fast' laptop (probably about the speed of your 'hella slow one' lol) propped up to improve its airflow, but the serious heat comes from my 8-core android.
It has to throttle down frequently to keep the processors down @ 85C, so when I'm home I have it sitting on the lid of my chest freezer for maximum output.

-----------

Other misc developments; Nitroz has really picked up the pace, and millguy could actually form his own team and beat all of the rest of us on output - glad he's on our side, lol.

I'm running it on my phone now after you posted about being able to do that. Only running two cores to keep it cool. When did we get the silver badge? Cool!!!

Good point on the silver team badge - it certainly wasn't there when I posted ~45 minutes ago.
I'm thinking there's a lag though, as we're most definitely within the 99th percentile now (i.e. gold).

Re: Announcing **Team CandlePowerForums** for SETI@home !

Even leaving my laptop going at 90% CPU for 24hrs it's not doing much haha but it's fun to participate!
I'll keep it up on off days for sure.
Go team!

Re: Announcing **Team CandlePowerForums** for SETI@home !

Well, Nitroz must be burning High Test because he's definitely hauling the load. He might be sampling some of millguys NASA fuel!!

Anyone else having issues with Boinc updating and downloading new tasks today?
