What do they do with people like this one?

In the old days they'd be called witches, tied to a pole and burned alive... :lol:

But that was when people associated anything unknown to witchcraft and the devil... nowadays we know better, and know that it's simple boinc manipulation...:icon_confused:

holy crap.... That is just wrong.. And people thought optimized clients were bad... :lol:

and

AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+

I can't see how he'd get that much credit!

Reason's to avoid BOINC.

Don't see people cheating on Folding and Distributed.net

Someone should point this out to the admins at Tanpaku! This person is not doing anyone any good. This person has messed with the calibration to acheive this type of tom foolery.

Hacking benchmarks like this makes optimized clients look like nothing.

A shame people have to cheat to get credits which are worth nothing. While I do like having lots of credits, I don't have the need to get the top rank, I just do this for the fun of it and the possible future breakthrough in science and such.

guess i never saw the sence in getting the top spot if you didnt deserve it....its like cheating at a game ....doesnt make the win worth much does it

Going by the stats it looks like a couple of the guys at BOINC@POLAND have frigged with their credit calibrations. Not pointing fingers as they may have just added a load of systems but I very much doubt it!

Here's the response I got from Tanpaku:

Dear Bond,

Thank you for your e-mail in which you gave me important pieces of advice.
We will change the way to calculate the claimed credit in next week.

Regards,

Tadashi Ando (TANPAKU developer)

Sir,

You might want to look into this guy: http://issofty17.is.noda.tus.ac.jp/show_host_detail.php?hostid=1381

I have no idea if the work he is putting out is any good but it seems that he may have altered something and is sure going to make many of your crunchers angry with the points he is being awarded.
