There seems to be work, but so far only five of the eleven teams participating in the August challenge have been able to score credits.
A whopping number of 19 individual users. What goes wrong?

Edit: eighth teams now (including AMD Users), 50 users, one of us (kle) with credit.
Edit2: still eighth teams (including AMD Users), 62 users, still only one of us (kle) with credit...
Edit3: nine teams now, 79 users, smok88 has joined kle.
Edit4: ten teams now, 112 users, B Johansson and myself have joined smok88 and kle.

I should have some credits too by now... I got one machine one it.

Only one machine? And your output is higher than me!
Darn, I've got 6 machines working on it, 21 cores in total!
(but they work on some 20-odd other projects as well)

But serious now: the August Simap challenge has already started on the 30th of July, and AMD Users does better
than before: we're currently 7th, and the team has swollen to ten members, in order of credits scored so far:
Bender10, B Johansson, Kle, NeoGen, Dirk Broer, Smok88, Hautlle, Freddie, Moops and Ken429H.
Remember to set your cache to several days, or you'll run out of WUs before the end, like me last time!

Actually I forgot I had Simap set on another machine since last month and when I got home and checked it had already kicked on and it was running happily.
Nice to know that BOINC is (sometimes) smart.
