I found that boinc clients that I installed just in the last couple days would grab some tasks but certainly not more than a day or two, but clients that I have had installed for quite sometime would grab plenty of work. The I noticed that the estimated time on one older i7 was a couple hours...

I'm hoping to have a new build done before the x-mas race starts. I've started my first ITX build in a Node202 case. It will be an additional i7-10700 for the cause as long as I can get a little case airflow going around the CPU. :)

Looks like Team USA had a 10M point hour at UTC 16:00 which vaulted them to 4th place.

Bunkering is allowed here right? I don't have many cores so I might as well do some work in advance if I can! : )

with regards to bunkering - I have one system (that has only been running a 2-3 weeks) that has a really high time remaining estimate (like 8+ hours per OPN WU). Thus it seems to not pull much of a backlog of work since it thinks its going to take so long per WU. Do I just have to wait until...

I've long thought about getting a Pi to tinker around with but have never done so. Just curious about your expereince with the aforementioned FLIRC pi 4 case. Does it provide enough passive cooling to run all four cores on WCG (or other DC projects) 24/7? As I started to search for Pi4 cases...

Finally hit the Sapphire badge for OpenPandemics - COVID-19. :) Now on to my first Diamond badge!

Sounds like a cool event. Count me in. In addition to my normal cores, I scraped together an additional 5 cores from my ESXi hosts that probably wouldn't get much use otherwise. Its not much but but I hoping to build a new six or eight core rig before the end of the year so maybe that will be...

Seems like Team Anandtech must have done a really good job bunkering. Today we are keeping pace with them, but yesterday they had quite the dump! Now that I have a good process down I should be able to get a larger amount of queued up work for the Christmas Challenge.

I'll fire up a couple hosts for the event. Looks like we have a new WCG project to crunch: https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/research/arp1/overview.do

Ha! I have much less free CPU power these days it seems, but I always get the DC fever come this time of year! And it colder outside... I'll be better prepared for the Christmas Challenge.

Having a bit a instability the last couple days with some new RAM, but I think I got it worked out. Adding a couple CPUs to the effort. :)

Its been a while, and I'm off to a late start, but I'm in for 12 cores or so.

Grandpa, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. God bless.

Congrats to all on the recent milestones! Thanks for contributing to the great WCG projects... I recently received an Emerald in UGM. :)
