Hi,
I use to participate with the ud agent. A couple of years ago i stopped installing the agent onto my new computers. Today I'm back.  One question comes to mind how can i retrieve all the work that i did for UD and add it to my points here? |

I use to participate with the ud agent. If you were participating to grid.org then Scribe's too simple answer is correct. But if you were already participating to WCG when the UD agent was still in use here you just need to reuse the old member name which was used then instead of this apparently never-used one. And install the BOINC agent, of course. |

His ONLY question was -
One question comes to mind how can i retrieve all the work that i did for UD and add it to my points here? so therefore my answer was correct....he did NOT ask about any work he did for WCG  |

Welcome back Ghostking, may your stay be long and fruitful
---------------------------------------- As you may have seen, there have been quite a few changes since the UD days - more projects and the introduction of badges, to name but two. Also, as indicated above, hopefully you are reusing your old ID, then any points/hours you accumulated from when WCG were using the old agent, will still be in existence (i.e., if you contributed 14+ days for HPF, then you'll have a Bronze badge against that particular project etc.). If not, then I'm sure you'll soon start gathering a whole new collection of badges.  |

Hey, Dude, we need all the help we can get!! As of today when I checked at BOINCStats, 90,000 active WCG crunchers.
----------------------------------------Call your friends and relatives with computers, mothers-in-law welcome if valid, puppies and kittens if they can type. |

Welcome back... yes we always need help.. lots of great projects
----------------------------------------Yes mitrichr you are right out of the 301372 users only 90389 are active (acording to boincstats) [29.99%] corse if you look over for the stats for BOINC in general 1998162 total with 291466 active [14.58%] we are holding people better than boinc in general but still alot of work to do we are curently avarageing 370 teraflops (acording to boincstats) [5,415 teraflops boinc total avarage] One thing i always say is if we get more people and faster computers we wont run out of work we will give scientists more opurtunities to run more projects faster and hopefully cure things quicker. so again thanks for comming back Ghostking glad to have your computer(s) crunching  |

Nasher, you are absolutely correct.
----------------------------------------WCG retention rate at my last check at BOINC Stats is double to totality of the retention rate for all BOINC projects, so WCG is supporting the whole ship quite well. What makes no sense to me is that WCG in its social networking on sites like Facebook and Twitter seems to be stuck on using the whole history of figures. This makes no sense. Look at the Global statistics map at http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/viewGlobal.do , titled Current Members by Region. It adds up to 518,323. So, what does current mean? To me it equates with active. The people who write the text for WCG for social networking are very good. They are as able as the people who write for Innova, my favorite record label. But, these people seem to lean on these total figures, irrelevant as they are, when there are in fact really good and accurate things to say about the activities of WCG. I had three machines on UD. And, I was in and out of WCG for a variety of reasons. Any time I needed to re-register a machine, it was counted as another device. Now, I have five machines running on WCG and other BOINC projects 24/7. So, where do I fall in that global map. I am very proud of my crunching record. I actively pursue new crunchers. I have neat little WCG and BOINC icons on my letterhead; I carry personal address cards with a nice sticker that I printed up on the back with the BOINC and WCG URL's and a message asking them to take a look at the web sites. I parade around my town on my exercise walks in BOINC and WCG T shirts. I captain a local team. I am, according to my wife, just plain nuts. I think we have lots to crows about and do not need to use irrelevant figures. 90,000 people with 181,000 machines is not chopped liver. |
