Touting the Seti@home lively discussions and then telling people to jump ship because their discussions are too lively seems a bit irrational. Well, James.... Given the fact that you and I have been around and weathered more storms than some of the folks complaining the loudest, we should have thicker skins, eh? I closed my 'what has your RAC done since' thread because it was just becoming a place for folks to continue to whine about what was already obvious. When the thread was first launched, it was a valid question. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Personally I can't see Dr. Anderson paying any more attention to this than he did 18 months ago when he 1st introduced CreditNew and everyone's RAC's plummetted back then as it is again now. The difference between now & then is that back then RAC eventually recovered- not completely, but mostly. This time around, i don't see any sort of recovery occuring without intervention.

No I speak for myself. And If you have a problem with my reposne, hit that red X and report me. I would only ever red-X one of my own posts. You're right seti@home has lively discussions second to none. CreditNew is Boinc specific. Many Setizens were with seti@home before Boinc was a twinkle in Dr Anderson's eyes. If Dr. A. wants to use seti@home as the testbed for evolving Boinc a bit of proactive PR would go a long way. As it stands now his approach is, to say the least, arrogant and condescending. |

Im sure there is a project that will kiss your butt with sweet credit. This is not language suitable for a moderator. It can be acceptable (barely, and depending on the occasion) in a flaming discussion, which this is largely not (we are just debating what is happening), by a normal poster. Not by a moderator. Who, by etymology, should make sure spirits do not go too high. What you wrote goes in total opposite direction. And no, I am not pushing the red-X. But I want this not to be forgotten too quickly. And I am not going anywhere. I stand here, as many others do. Sleepy |

Im sure there is a project that will kiss your butt with sweet credit. To me, at least, James' comment is much more civil than many of the comments made about the Project Admins and Dr. Anderson in the CreditNew and v7 roll-out threads......

... This is similar to: "BOINC World position based on RAC" "Contribution to SETI@Home total RAC" http://boincstats.com/en/stats/0/host/detail/4832843 Â - ALF - "Find out what you don't do well ..... then don't do it!" :) Â |

Using this page http://boincstats.com/en/stats/0/project/detail/lastDays then average Seti credit for the last 11 days is at 74.13% of the average for the preceding 29 days. |

From another thread- Don't want to tempt fate, but it looks as though mine might be slowing down. Instead of a power dive, it would now appear to be in freefall. Turns out it was just a glitch- still in a power dive. Grant Darwin NT |

It was done by work unit. I just found my certificate thanking me for my 1000th work unit from Jan 2002. Somewhere I have the paper work saying that I had just over 5000 classic work units done before they started the the cobblestone thing.[/quote]
Yeah, I know. I was trying to make a point about the Persistence of Memory and how what might seem terribly important now will become far less-so with the passing of a person's time. It was a call to "important reality" in a time of "urgent emotionalism" using history as the teacher. Good grief. I sound like a really bad, half-baked philosopher. I may not even rise to the level of half-baked. That whole idea is sort of like a big blob of raw dough, not baked at all. I knead to go away. |

I was running up to 18 rigs back in the classic days, a 386, a few 486's, several P120-200's, a few K6's and the odd oddball CPU here and there. SETI@home classic workunits 61,592 SETI@home classic CPU time 289,427 hours Cheers. |

I was running 27 computers out of my house, the electricity bill was getting up to $400-450 a month when I decided I should taper back a bit :) SETI@home classic workunits 204,777 SETI@home classic CPU time 995,447 hours didn't have enough time to hit the 1,000,000 hour mark when Classic was shut down.....:( Seti Classic: 204,777 WU /113.636 Yrs |

Follow on report; Seti Credit yesterday 12th June at 100,356,898 is only 68.24% of the average before V7 introduced. I think this figure will still fall further as there is still V6 work reporting and I assume the AP work is still being done at the same rate. |

On another way to look, anyone knows where we can find the number of Daily WU proceced by the entire SETI comunity? That could be an interesting number, my guess is now we all are making almost the same (or even more) number of WU/Day than before due the optimized apps. If that is true by the project perspective, if you look the science done, all is working fine. So the creditnew impact is only at our side, the "human factor" of the equation. It´s hard for us "humans" see our RAC falling. We all are trained to belive, more credit = more science = more performance but that could be not true for few weeks until creditnew tunes it´s statistics. |
