That still has us making a decent run on 75,000,000 points for the year but it's no gimme yet! Relax ... it's in the bag ... though I hope "points" are gone by then. Time to start thinking about credits though. ![]() "Times ... They are a-changin'" ![]() I must be working to much--what is the deal with points and credits? |

Time to start thinking about credits though. ![]() "Times ... They are a-changin'" ![]() I must be working to much--what is the deal with points and credits? "Soon" (hopefully by year end) WCG with convert their points system to BOINC credits and be on an equal footing with all the other projects in the DC world. Crurrently WCG "points" are 7 times BOINC credits. This conversion will also be of great benefit to the old UD crunchers as their "credits" earned while running the UD client are not reflected in BOINC totals. It will shake up the team rankings for teams like ours who have a lot of old UD crunchers. I do hope WCG starts early in announcing and explaining this change in advance rather than just springing it on the community as they are prone to do. It's going to shake up a lot of people who logon to find they had 7000 "points" yesterday and 1000 "credits" today. ![]() ![]() |

Okay, make that 10,714,286 credits then! ![]() How about 20 million BOINC Team Credits by year end as a target? ![]() |

Well, one 8800 gt generates more than 100k points per month, which means well over 1.2 million per year. So our goals will have to change dramatically to adjust for anyone running PS3grid or quitting it. After all, if we set the goal of 20 million credits, and then all of a sudden Keith gets an 8800 GT and you get your 9800 gt up and running, then geez, we're going to blow the doors off that goal, won't we? |

Good point. We will also have to factor in the points conversion and the extra UD work there. I should get about 33K credits and long-time UD users will get much more. What does the rest of the team think for a year-end BOINC credit goal? EDIT: Keith/Jonathan: I sent you an email. ![]() ![]() [Edit 1 times, last edit by Dataman at Sep 28, 2008 8:39:47 PM] |

Do you know how to reclaim UD points? I ran UD for a full year before my laptop turned into what it is now - part gaming rig and part pr0n machine. |

If you did it at WCG they are included in your points. If you did it for grid.org or Seti, no. ![]() |
