We would like to invite [Teamname] to participate in the challenge

Do we have to change our name to "[Teamname]"?

I was thinking about signing us up, but our team captain is Petrusbroder, not TAC! Peter, can you fix that?

 

[petrusbroder]

Thanks for the invitation!
Challenge joined!

 

[pons66]

Do we have to change our name to "[Teamname]"?

Thanks for the note. It was late at night. Has been corrected. :whiste:

@ petrusbroder:
We look forward to seeing you. Enjoy the challenge.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Sounds fun. I'm interested.

 

[petrusbroder]

All those who crunch WCG at the time of the challenge are in ...

 

[ZipSpeed]

I'm in. I'll spin up additional rigs at that time.

With roughly 24.6 hours until the start, for anyone wanting to take part in this race, it's time to start caching WCG if you're not already done so.

 

[Ken g6]

Did you mean 48 hours? I think it's closer to 23-ish now?

 

[VirtualLarry]

Hmm, trying to wind down the NumberFields@Home WUs on my Thuban 1045T, and attach to WCG, but it's not responding right now. I guess they go down at midnight for maint?

Edit: Hmm, 3rd times a charm, I guess. Finally got it attached.

 

[Rattledagger]

Did you mean 48 hours? I think it's closer to 23-ish now?

Yes, it was roughly 48 hours to go at the time.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Anyone with stats? AFAIK, my Thuban 1045T has been crunching WCG for this race.

Edit: Stats for our team:
http://www.seti-germany.de/wcg/stats_team.php?TeamIdWCG=SHNW8R84S1&proj=WCG&lang=en

We're currently in 27th place overall among the teams in this challenge, just below Knights that Say Ni!.

 

[Ken g6]

Thanks for the stats, VirtualLarry! Now I can tell that we have roughly 50 hours to go.

I'm already rolling one computer off the PrimeGrid race and back here.

 

[VirtualLarry]

We made 26th place, above the Knights that Say Ni!
