Post the milestones here!

Got to 1/4 of a million points today. I've only folded for around 20 days, so I think that's quite good.

Goal: 1 million points by the beginning of March. Should prove easy now that I'm finally getting good WUs most of the time for around three days straight. Some tricks some people gave me also seem to help. :sneaky:

For the first time I've cracked 2,000 RAC in any BOINC project. Took at least five PC/laptops but I finally did it. Too bad I don't have any AMD machines for Correlizer.

Nice!

You could cheat and use a GPU for something like PrimeGrid

 

[Sunny129]

so we're calling GPU computing cheating now, eh? then consider me an enthusiastic cheater

Haha, sorry, not exactly what I meant...

But yeah, if you are looking to "inflate" your RAC GPU computing does it very well

Sometimes I wish it broke out CPU RAC vs GPU RAC or even just total points. 1M in a CPU only project is more impressive than 1M in combined project, IMHO. It only took me 1W to get to 1M in Milkyway on just one 5870

BTW, to keep this about stats, I broke 100k in WCG, yay me I just committed one more core to that as well... Pushing on 500k in Malaria Control as my next Milestone to be achieved.

Just got the following email:

Dear Primefinder,

Congratulations! Our records indicate that a computer registered by you has found a unique prime number. This computer is running BOINC, is attached to the PrimeGrid project, and is assigned to the Proth Prime Search. What makes this prime unique is that it's large enough to enter the Top 5000 List in Chris Caldwell's The Largest Known Primes Database.

Since you are the finder, you will be credited with the discovery.

PrimeGrid can report the prime on your behalf. If you'd like PrimeGrid to report the prime, please edit your PrimeGrid preferences page to give permission to submit under the Reporting primes to the Prime Pages section. YOUR Name and surname are required by the Prime Pages to report primes. Please reply to this email notifying us of the update.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me and we will surely resolve any problem. If you do not wish to publish your prime, let me know and we will register the prime anonymously.

Once again, congratulations on your find and welcome to the Top 5000 List!

Thank you for participating in PrimeGrid.

John Blazek of PrimeGrid

NOTE: You will have 19 days to respond. Afterwards we notify the double checker and allow them the opportunity to report. If they do not wish to report, the prime will be assigned to an anonymous account.

Does this help the team or is this pretty commonplace?

Sweet! I have only been a double checker

I am not sure we get bonus points or anything, but I personally think it is pretty cool

 

[petrusbroder]

It does not help the team, but it helps you in the stats - as one of the top prime prime finders.
So hurry up, report the prime!

Congrats, BTW!

You'll be linked to the Prime discovery, while referencing the team that you were crunching for (e.g. Jalaram is a member of TeAm Anandtech).

...would be an example of the press release.

Congrats jalaram! :thumbsup:

I got one too in the last race.

[jalaram]

Thanks everyone. I went ahead and updated my preferences.

Link to the prime

No reference to the team yet, but I guess that'll come in the press release as somethingsketchy said.

*** RACE ANNOUNCEMENT ***


petrusbroder and I have agreed to have a little race to 80 Million Total BOINC Credit.

Based on our current respective RACs the race should last about three weeks. Of course, should circumstances change, it could end sooner or go on for months, even years.

Now this will be a good match! Fight!

 

[petrusbroder]

That race was quite some time ago ... I came second last and mk got a very honorable 2:nd place!

Stats just now:
mk: ______ 189,354,227 (total BOINC cobblestones).
petrus: ___ 544,900,982 (total BOINC cobblestones).

 

[somethingsketchy]

D'oh, must have been reading a different page.

 

[petrusbroder]

Just passed 10 M in DistRTgen. Time to move on to something else ...

i just overtook TeAm member keeleysam for 11th place overall on the TeAm, and hope to be in the top 10 in a month or so...

also, i passed 50 million total BOINC credits back on the 1st of the month and didn't even realize it until today lol...

keep those milestones coming everyone!

 

[LOL_Wut_Axel]

Surpassed 1/2 a million folding@home points today. I should've been at around 530K points by now, but yesterday the power went out for some 12 hours unfortunately.

I still want to make it to one million points by mid-March.

 

[petrusbroder]

Congrats - more than half way!

 

[biodoc]

Congrats Sunny129, Peter and LOL_Wut_Axel on your milestones!! :thumbsup:
