Another great Stone! :)
BOOM! And there it is...finally! 10M on SETI@Home. And I am officially done there for a bit. :p

200 billion.. Whom can imagine, on this hobby.
I remember when getting getting 1 million a day, a week, or a month, was a big deal!
Crunch on!

Very nice dcushing.
Huge number. Do yo u guys think BU has distorted the crunching landscape with their ultra high credit return?
500,000 on CAS. I've been waiting a long time to get some work! It's out now, so 1M may have to wait another couple years :p
Congrats all on your stones!
Congrats on the CAS. It is a difficult one because the work is so spotty!!
CAS has had a burst of work recently. Expect that it'll start getting more frequent based on what the admins posted earlier in the year...
Nice milestones all. Congrats.

No, U get what U buy in equipment, in return.
Just a fact of Boinc'n

Huge number. Do yo u guys think BU has distorted the crunching landscape with their ultra high credit return?
Yes I do. BU accounts for nearly 97% of my credit and I've only ran it for 3 months compared to my other projects I've been running since 2009. On the flip side but not as exaggerated, are poor paying projects such as SETI (IMO) among others. I think most projects do a decent job of allotting credits for work done and we simply will have to live with the projects that come along like BU that distort the landscape.
I ask, as I don't plan to do BU, but see how it has changed BOINC and I wonder if such a distortion due to the credits where people have to spend to get it, will alienate or scare off new crunchers.

Like I said, before, I do believe that BU has changed the landscape; however, some crunchers will adapt to the changing environment and use projects like BU to stay on top. As one of the top teams in the world… we have too; if we didn’t we would quickly lose our position to another team.
Look at what GPU’s did to the landscape… my (3) outdated GPU’s can run circles around most people running CPU only projects.
No, U get what U buy in equipment, in return.

I do agree with Doug on this, that you get more in return in credits, the more equipment you buy.
I believe that most people that start crunching do it for the science like I did back in October 2009. I had one computer and Einstein, Seti and Milkyway were my first projects; I didn’t even know about credits back then. A year later in November 2010 I found SUSA and got the credit bug… which by the way, I still blame all you guys for that little mental disorder. =))
All things being equal, a person with one computer will never catch someone running three. Will that discourage some… maybe. BU isn’t really any different it just makes the pie graph look rather odd.
Will I ever be number one in total credits on this team? Very unlikely but that doesn’t discourage me… it motivates me. Granted, I’m not a new cruncher anymore but I once was… crunchers evolve.
Edit: If anyone cares to discuss this further, I'll move it to a more appropriate thread. Let me know.

I'm steadily crunching away around half a million credits a day on Collataz using just my laptop, so that's a milestone I guess :-)
And 16 million total credits.

Why, yes it is! Congrats Sandtiger and don't be a stranger here.
Mighty fine daily production there sandtiger! Keep it up!
That is a ton of credits from a laptop.

It lives on a cooling pad, even before I got back into crunching.

1 million on Leiden, my 40th project at that level.
Congrats Al, that is a major accomplishment! On most CPU projects a million is a BIG deal!

A major achievement ... my user rank on Seti dropped to 50,000 =)) I've been working on it for years!

Surpassed 23 Million the other day, 10 Million of that is Collatz Conjecture. I remember back in the pre-GPU days when it took me 4 years to get my first 11 Million

Sunday, 28 March 2010 11,000,000

Tuesday, 20 September 2016 12,000,000
So basically what took 4 years before I've done in a month..wow
Congrats Sandtiger!! There are some CPU projects that pay much better than you remember as well :D

SETI@home 25 Million
14 years, 4 months, and 12 days to make it happen. Average of 4764 credits per day, although let's be honest some days were better than others :D

Congrats. I am going to have to step it up big time to ever reach that milestone. Nice work.
25M on Asteroids :D
Nice Bryan! Setting the bar pretty high for the rest of us aren't you?

Wow, nice!!! I have to catch up.
Kind of a strange Milestone, but I'll take it. 25,000 hours on Micro Collatz Conjecture, all on the backs of 4 Raspberry pi.
One milestone I've been waiting for a for a while.
Just crossed 1M hours at Wuprop :)

New bird badge - 2M
CSG is paying BIG BIG credits right now. There is a challenge going on and the admin has said that he will "adjust" the credits when the challenge ends. There are 6 days remaining. The WU take 6-24 hours.

What project is "CSG" short for? Are the credits worth pausing Prima for? (Like will it help the team if I get some?)
A small milestone: hit 10M on that new Amicable numbers.

CSG is Citizen Science Grid. My personal opinion is that Prima will still be there a week from now but supposedly the credits are going to drop on CSG. Right now it is paying VERY well so it is a good time to work on credit milestones.
EDIT: Congrats on the AN 10M. CSG is paying almost 2X what you can get on AN for CPU ... no GPU.

10M on CSG
Have I mentioned that CSG is paying very very well until the challenge ends in about 5 days?
5 million on CSG - done there for now.
