I´m #1 in my Team. So you are Mike. Good one! It's a bit easier when all you crunch for is one project such as me. Account frozen... |

I don't use any optimizer since I'm not downloading any SETI right now, and for the first 250,000 SETI credits that I crunched I didn't use any optimizers since I was here for the science and not finding out how to fix the credit with non-BOINC applications. I processed the same WUs whatever credits I was awarded. It would seem to me that this link merely publicizes the fact that if you use an older version of the optimizer you will get more credits. For yourself and your team. Duly noted I expect by those using the optimizers. flaming balloons |

Looking back at Chris's posts, and the current Chicken Soup 2.2B optimised SETI clients. I assume there will be a version of the multi beam client which is self installing? or Is the current MB client at the Lunatic's site for each CPU type, as were the older Chicken Soup? Richard It usually takes a few days for crunchers to move over to the MB client. Is Eric giving an estimate of when he would consider the line needs to be drawn in the sand? It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Stooopid question but: does this mean that eating my chicken soup daily is cheating and that the results aren't valid? I only do it cuase it seems to make more efficient use of my computer time, but can easily live without it if it's not righteous. btw: also number 1 on my team ;) Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.

No Kenzie, thats not cheating. The credit is calculated higher on ver 2.2b. You should only update as soon as possible that no discuession about cheating comes around. Because user of chicken soup get more results finnished a day you even get more credits. Thats all. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Looking back at Chris's posts, and the current Chicken Soup 2.2B optimised SETI clients. < i believe - that as Eric has stated - "it's automatic" (thE move) - mi box is still crunchin' w/ 2.2B chicken + S@H_enhanced v517 - so . . . until their finished - it'll stay where it is . . . |

Looking back at Chris's posts, and the current Chicken Soup 2.2B optimised SETI clients. No, not true. If you are using chickens app you have to update manually. Because of the appinfo.xml. The units will crunched showing 5.17. With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

Looking back at Chris's posts, and the current Chicken Soup 2.2B optimised SETI clients. S@h hasn't UPDATED mi box to v527 - so, since it's crunchin' v517 - i leave thE 2.2B - until i get v527 - there is NO need for lunatic upgrade (YET) - right? |

Looking back at Chris's posts, and the current Chicken Soup 2.2B optimised SETI clients. You have to upgrade your chicken soup manually, from 2.2B to 2.4. You will never get 5.27 because of the appinfo.xml. You willl get multibeam WUs but not the app. You can check on lunatics.at or on nc fora if you dont believe me.

As you can see the last two was downloaded after upgrading to chicken 2.4. Its shown as 5.27. But the other are also multibeam WUs as you can see on the 07 of year. Mike With each crime and every kindness we birth our future. |

That's right Mike. Cheating is not appropriate or comes into this at all. If you use a KWSN optimizers which turns around your WUs faster and you get more credits faster - that is not cheating. You computer is doing the work and earning the credits. But does everyone else in SETI use the Chicken optimizer? Does everyone know about it and wonder why others are accumulating credits faster? Are people coming here from other projects just to get credits faster, irrespective of what the SETI project is all about? Is it fair that your computer can earn xx% more than an identical computer crunching at say, climatepreditction.net? All is fair in love and war. If you want to use optimizers to work more efficiently on SETI, then that is fair enough. It may not seem so to some here and in other projects who don't use SETI optimization. flaming balloons |

The kitties and I have updated all of my rigs to the new MultiChicken 2.4 release. I encourage all other optimized app users to do the same. It has the latest optimized crunching code. We'll see how the RAC holds up after a few days of steady crunching, but I am sure it will be fine. Things go better with Chicken. MultiChicken, that is.
