  • The Russians are coming!


    Boinc Russia will overtake us in 119 days...

    Perhaps this will persuade our US friends to help?

    Yeah, the Kiekert-threat has been dealt with for now, in part thanks to degrub, but against the Russians we need another two big crunchers (or three when it becomes summer in Australia).

    BTW, Russians are welcome to avert the threat they pose as well!

    P.S. We are still lacking African, South-America and Asian participants. Join the team y'all!

      Wow, we just jumped to position 760, and are number 79 when it comes to RAC...
      But still not enough to shake BOINC Russia... They also upped their efforts and are now said to pass us in 112 days...

        RAC #76 now and climbing as RAC trails. However, it may be that it became summer in Australia as Marshmallowman seems to have stopped a lot of his crunching.

        The Russians (and it really is only 1 guy, Ivan, crunching 30k credits/day) will catch up in 91 days. We need a couple of Rambos to stop them.

            Looks like the Russians are slowing down... current statistic says they will overtake us in 3939.4 days...

                  You got me hooked... I might be able to add a second computer to crunch at night and during the holidays... I'll check tomorrow...

                    Additional crunching would be nice cause with some we might just make top 600 this year. Unfortunately it is now summer down under so Marshmallowman went out of service.

                        I don't know what y'all are doing but at the ratwe're going this week we will make #600 this year.

                        One of my machines is down, mainboard is on the way. Think I got hit with the P67/H67 PCH SATA bug.

                            We didn't make #600 in 2012, #603 at the time of writing... But it should happen soon... Nicram really increased the effort.
