Last modified: 13 Feb 2006, 8:47:34 UTC Funny thing; I've not changed my BOINC install or anything on my computer for ages, and yet the RAC keeps climbing. Can anyone explain this?!? You've been accumulating more 'earning history', which is weighed into your RAC score along with your current output. Assuming your production to be constant, your RAC will continue to increase, just at a slower and slower rate: "asymptotically" in mathematical jargon. If you were to suddenly stop crunching your RAC would begin to fall, but again at an ever-decreasing rate; it would eventually show "0" but only because the fraction of a point remaining was being rounded down. I'll take this opportunity to brag about having acquired 10,000 BOINC cobblestones. ID: 247352 ·

Last modified: 14 Feb 2006, 15:34:32 UTC I know everyone is excited to reach a milestone. Sometimes it's exciting just to see that new credits have been posted to your account. But the excitement fades if you post a new milestone every day. This thread will mean more to everyone if we confine our milestone posts to the bigger milestones. For new people that could be 1,000, 2,000, 3,000.... After that it's better if you set a higher goal. Like: 5,000, 10,000, 25,000, 50,000, 75,000, 100,000, 250,000, 500,000, 1,000,000.... Sort of like the badges on SETI "Classic". It's true that every day brings new credits. But to make the Milestones thread more meaningful, please consider setting higher goals. Those higher, more significant goals, give the readers of this thread a greater reason to cheer you on. One other thing, also please try to condense the congratulatory posts to one or two posts. This is just a suggestion. I wish all of you success in reaching your milestones. I should be reaching my next milestone goal sometime this coming week. I set that goal 7 months ago, WOW! (-:< It would be kind of neat to see a milestone "Badge" show up in ones profile, After reasonable goals were reached. But nothing will ever live up to reaching a self set goal. :-] I Desire Peace and Justice, Jim Scott (Mod-Ret.) ID: 247988 ·

Keep crunching! ID: 248137 ·

In doing so, I maximized my final Classic total, figuring there'll be plenty of time for BOINCing down the road; after all, it's more fun to come up from behind than to be first on the hill and battle to hold position. However, I never imagined that I'd be progressing this rapidly. Last night, on the two-month anniversary of the Classic shutdown, I reached one-third of a million cobblestones on SETI-BOINC (click the cropped screen shot to see the current full page): On the same day I also achieved 9th place on The Planetary Society's SETI-BOINC team, having been 13th place the day before. I've ranked #1 in RAC on the team for a few weeks now. That RAC list includes other Classic hold-outs near the top: Santiago E. Diaz, David1339, Jack Gulley, and flwrchld53 all appear along with me on the first page (top 20 RAC on a team with 2,240 members). We've been chastised for not bringing our resources over to the BOINC side sooner, but our goals were clear, we stuck with them, and now we're making our marks here. And yes, it is more fun coming up from behind! Help keep SETI@home alive! Join The Planetary Society and crunch for our team! ID: 248954 ·
