I'll be glad to enter us if there is any interest. Personally, I'm booked for the next 5 weeks.

[Bryan]

I'm not interested.

[Egilman]

I'm not interested.

+100!!!

[Mumps]

I might be convinced to work off some of the 106 Mil I need to get to 250 Mil, but for the next few weeks I've still got other goals I'm plugging away at...

[Al]

I can always enter us and just let the chips fall where they may. That allows anyone that wants to run it occasionally to get credit for the competition.

[wolfman1360]

I'd be up for throwing some machines in.

[Al]

That's interest enough. SETI.USA has joined.

[Bryan]

I'm not going to run it until they release the new app :D I'm saving myself ya know.

It's amazing to me that out of 949,110.37 hours, WCG accounts for probably 700000. Never mind the 8 months I was crunching WCG before I joined wuprop. Boy was I proud of that 25 million Boinc credits...

Then, in a matter of not even 3 weeks, I get 5 times the credit on collatz.
None of these numbers projects really turn my crank brain wise, though. Not a math guy. Still it's a little ok, a lot, disheartening to see that it would take me another 5 plus years of crunching to actually make it to where I'm at now on Collatz, credits wise...

[zombie67]

Don't let credits drive you crazy. IMO, it's all about your rank within each project, where credits are equal. Or hours, or whatever. Then you can compare ranks across projects, rather than credits.

I can only help after the 17th since I’ll be overseas and I don’t mind running for individuals.

I'm auto-in as I am chipping away at MIP & SCC.
