With 8 cores 24/24 you'd be able to do 7.5+ years of computing per annum, yet you seem to be in constant fight, like now to even reach gold, for a project that has had ample supply. Way over my head.

SekeRob, it's quite simple really - I've got 2 laptops (and thus, temperature comes into play), and whilst my newest computer is ~ 2 years old, my other is approaching 7. Also, I do use both computers - and therefore, at the best of times, I'm able to get (according to SNURK's signature), around 5.5 days CPU into a 24 hr period. As to me struggling to get to Gold, that's because I left it late to return to this project (I've been concentrating on HSTB - whilst there's been work flowing).

Finally, what also comes into play, is that, even though I may have 280 WU's currently cached (the limit I'm allowed), if those run on average, for 1 hr, that's only 280 hrs - whilst if I'm needing ~24 days to reach Gold, that's 576 hrs, and hence, 296 hrs short. If those WU's average out at 2 hrs, then I'll be ~16 hrs short. Obviously, I'll only know for certain as to how long those cached WU's take, after the event - and therefore, my uncertainty as to reaching Gold before the flow of WU's (and my cache) runs out.

"Oh nooo, Mr. Bill, the well has run dry!!!!!"

Looks like only repair jobs for now but we are working to get a couple of new targets ready. I would expect new work units soon.

Thanks armstrdj 🖖

Do you plan Betas prior to launch of new targets?
