Old projects need new crunchers (desperatly!)

[NeoGen]

Lagu, I'll second what Vaughan said. No need to apologize when you haven't offended anyone. Your oppinion is as good as (if not better than) mine. And I wish more people would participate in these debates on the forum so we could see everyone's point of view.
I'll be happy if in the end we gather a group of adventurers, with a handful of machines, that are willing to try the old ways of DC'ing again, before BOINC was even born. :P
Ok... no one be scared with what I just said please! It was basically the same thing but with less bugs/crashes/out of work/down times.

NeoGen, BOINC smorgasbord is what I call the situation on one of my computers where I have joined or attached to ALL the BOINC projects I can.

Hey, that sounds just like my own computer...

Ah, been a while since I did some Rieselsieve crunching. So back at it for a while under my Brucifer account, working on llrnet for a while.

Ran the ogr for a while. Got a little bored though. :roll:

edit: Was just looking at the personal stats for the rieselsieve llrnet stats, and I don't see Brucifer listed there, but Beerknurd (probably spelled it wrong -- excuse me) stats are showing here. My account is definitely listed under AMD_Users on the Rieselsieve site........... ?????? For both llrnet and sieving. Like yellow bar stuff...

Hey 72,

Do you want your 72CJ5 acount merged with Brucifer?

Or the other way round? I didn't know you had a split personality

[AMDave]

Welcome back to LLR Brucifer
Dang it.
Yet another quiet approach on a rank 1 foiled. :?
It would have taken me ages to get there though

But passing TA is not out of the question (on Boks stats).

Any info about why the RS LLR page Team stats are so different to those from the CSV file they give Bok? In fact I see differences in the user stats they display and the stats on Boks page as well.

I'll ask Bok.

Hey 72,

Or the other way round? I didn't know you had a split personality

Just run them separately. I don't crunch on rieselsieve under 72cj5 as I just keep building on my points as Brucifer.

As for the dual.... The Brucifer is what I was using when I first started siueving for Lee. Lexx was and is primarily my Free-DC account, and 72CJ5 was/is for here. I have crunched for four teams mainly. Didn't used to be that you could keep one name and move between teams without losing a team's points when you wanted to crunch for another team. Distributed.net keep track of points for teams, so I crunch some of that for here, and some for FDC, and can use the same name so that my total personal score keeps incrementing no matter which team I crunch for. In the beginning I was with Team Seti - USA, which morphed into US-Distributed. Then Bok and I moved over to Free-DC. Then I crunched on one project for TeAm Anandtech (as Brucifer) until that project was terminated. There was a short period that I crunched for BBR on seti as Latah. But as things sit today, I crunch for Free-DC and AMD_Users. Lately I have been doing more for this team than FDC. Bok is a good friend and we have crunched together for a few years now, so I don't stray far or for long from Free-DC. As for why this team?? Well I'm primarily an AMD house, and this is a nice friendly team, and as things worked out there were prople crunching on some projects here that were not the "in" projects at Free-DC, so I just figured I'd crunch on those for here. Several people at FDC crunch for two or three teams.

So there you have it, my crunching covers are blown..... unlike BOB, who is still successfully evading.......... LOL



And it appears that AMDave and I do have some similar preferences in crunching projects. I don't intentionally head out and look for what you are crunching AMDave..... just trying to help the team get a better spot or two in the team rankings against other teams.

Thanks for that story Bruce. I've never cruched for another team. Who would do the stats if I left

[NeoGen]

Yep, great story there Bruce. Maybe one day, when I have as many years of DC'ing as you, I might have a rich and detailed story to tell too.
My story is much simpler really. For now, this is all I got...


When I first started crunching, at Seti@Home classic, and was still teamless I looked at all those teams with lots of members and stuff and thought it was so cool, so "Why not make my own team??"
And so I did, (my team was called GoldenYear1980, if my memory still serves...) but after a while crunching for my own team I saw it was going nowhere because members don't fall off the sky to join teams, and much less to my team.
Sometime around that I came across the AMD Users forums, while searching for stuff related to AMD, and I noticed they were into DC'ing but at a greater level than I had ever imagined. So many projects out there and I only knew Seti and a couple of other maths ones.
I kept coming around for a while as visitor only, and the environment was really nice and all. I learned alot just by reading up on what other people posted and by browsing the forums, and started participating on several other projects. And I saw other new members stepping up, registering on the forums and presenting themselves and the welcomes were always great and stuff, so I decided to join in too.
And on the 2nd of November of 2003, I joined the AMD Users forums! Here it is my very first post on these forums:

And ever since (practically two years already:shock I've been addicted to Distributed Computing and to this Team!! :D

[Brucifer]

Ah yes..... Seti@home. Where the greatest majority of us started out, and the world learned what could really be done with all those computers at home as well as the unused cycles on business computing assets.

That was a lot of fun, andI know I look back on it with many fond memories. RSAttack... crunched a lot on that one too.

And I'll bet that there are lots of interesting stories out there about how others got started and progressed to where they are at today in the DC world.

bob works for the BIA ... :twisted:

Bob's working undercover on a top secret mission to expose and capture an international DC Terrorist (cheater) to end the world fear of a boxen holocaust... and to expose the truth about the alien technology that is being inserted in our society, that dramatically increases one's points on DC!



That settles it... no more espionage movies or X-Files for me!
