personaly i decided to be happy with the badge i have for this project and hunted elsewhere...

i understand droping work units just so others get a chance.

honestly a bronze badge for each project (minimum) would be nice while i concentrate on 1 badge at a time

happy crunching

Yeahh my first Gold !!! :D

Congratulations. And this almost the maximal allowed cache running dry. That was close for you :-)

I noticed you and I joined WCG at the same date. Funny coincidence.
Keep on crunching

Well you partly created your own situation if you had a buffer of over 2 days, for then your client is not considered for rush/repair/makeup work and there are surely still quite a few out there. Yesterday 3.5k WU's validated still.

For now, just keep that DDDT project ticked in your device profile and "if no work is available for..." selected for the next few weeks, with a small buffer of say 1 day and keep returning work. Then you might get into the "quick returners" queue for those remaining DDDT jobs.

edit: correct quotation mark placement.

That is always a concern when considering making a run for the next higher badge on a project that is wrapping up. The size of the cache can help or hurt you. When lots of units are avaliable and you need them a large cache is important but at the end of the project to catch any of the "jobs" needing to be done a small cache and with only that project selected and /or (if willing to let your computer(s) lay fallow if none of that project is readily avaliable) select only that project and select -do not select send other work if the above selected projects work is not avalaible. It gets to be a game but gets the job done.
