now everybody runs optimized apps, and the credit calculation still based on the old standard 'SETI@home Enhanced' app runtimes / performance. credits/h go down 75% lol, im not sure to waste more energy and money with this project. plan was to reach 10,000,000. credits, but not with this conditions. |

What is the point in reaching 10 million credits? Do you expect to get a free car then? Why not just doing it for the sake of science (like most people here do)? |

Eric said he'd post some details on the differences with the new app back on Thursday. I guess he didn't get around to doing it |

Car??? They're auctioning off a moon buggy. Problem is... it's on the moon. ;-) |

Car??? I got me almost enough creds to reach there and back........ If I fetch it, does it run on regular gas? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

expect a free car... funny guy 10 million was just my target. i waste 120€/month for the science, so i can expect at least correct credits electricity becomes more and more expensive, so stop computing, save resources, and use the money for nice holidays |

Kwitherbitchen........ My last electric bill was $620.00 US. That's for ONE month, kiddo. And BTW, I do not consider it 'wasted'. I am advancing one of the most dedicated and worthwhile computer projects on the planet. You won't get any sympathy from me on THAT one. Nice try though.

you earn enough money to pay such a bill? i have not so much, and now the bill starts to hurt |

I understand, and did not mean to be rude to you...... You played that card, friend. I am blessed with a good job, I build fire trucks for the best fire apparatus company in the world, Pierce Manufacturing. That does not mean bills don't get a bit tight when I have to shell out over half a grand in one month to keep the freaking lights on. I am glad that you consider the project worthy enough to spend what you can afford on it. Yes, it's a cost that is hard at times to justify. I have some friends and relatives that think I am stark raving mad. I drive a 1990 Oldsmobile Ciera when I could perhaps have a shiny new 'Stang in the driveway. I have chosen my priorities. My 1985 Maxda RX7 'fun' car is still pockmarked from a hail storm that smacked it a few years ago because I did not have the $4000.00 the body shop wanted to fix it. Yes, I have made choices.

Car??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Roving_Vehicle#Wheels_and_power says Power was provided by two 36-volt silver-zinc potassium hydroxide non-rechargeable batteries with a capacity of 121 A·h each. So be sure to bring the correct replacements, as I don't think the tow truck can get that far. |

Could be a bad/overheating card or bad driver. My bigger concern is why the daily quotas are being reduced when the invalid results are found. That needs to be fixed. @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |

Car??? Oh, no problem. I have a couple of then silver zinc thingys in my garage. Always wondered what I was gonna do with them. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Jeff was unreachable, and I didn't know the magic incantations that would open a service ticket at the colo. I do now. @SETIEric@qoto.org (Mastodon) |
