had the buckets out since I noticed the thread activity, but nary a drop.

I got 16 this round, and then received the dreaded "This computer has finished a daily quota of 2 tasks" and so went back to my regularly scheduled program, assuming there would be nothing more but the occasional resend by the time I would be able to get more.

Are these always so few units ? Is there ever anytime when substantial numbers are released ?


Maybe if these are so very rare and so few like Beta's , those who already have 2 + years crunching them could be kind enough to bow out and allow others the chance to get some of these ?
I realize it isn't a competition but if someone already has their Sapphire badge they should know just how hard it was to get it and how long it took.
With only a few thousand units put out each time and such a long time between runs it seems like a miracle to ever reach 2 years crunching time.
Especially if you only get a couple each time... While the big harvesters swoop in and suck up the majority of the WU's...

For type A and B, there always will be so few units. The latest set was type B.

For type C, there are plenty to last at least seven days - usually 10-14 days. When they do come out, your best bet is to make sure you only have DDDT2 checked and a slightly larger cache until the work runs dry. Usually during such rains, I get at least 7 days worth of work to crunch. So keep your eyes at this forum. It won't be for another week or two.
