Bronze math badge at OProject
Attachment 1277
Congrats on the wu prop star and 100k at harmonious trees and oProject.
I got my 100k badge for harmonious trees yesterday too :)
Gaaaaaaaaaaah ... Some of these Projects are getting real frustrating, they seems to have an App of the Day & you can't get enough Hr's built up before the next App comes out. Take the SLinCA Project, I have 5 App's there so far but have managed to only get 1 over 1000 Hr's, I was going to work again on the XZ32 Wu's which I have 593.62 Hr's but when I downloaded more work XZ40 Wu's was all I could get. So since I only had 7 of the XZ32 Wu's left I probably won't get that App over 1000 Hr's either ... I haven't seen any XZ22 or XZ36 for a long time now & I suppose the XZ32's are done now too ... I did get 100 of the XZ40's that are supposed to run for 32 Hr's each, they seem to run longer than reported though, so I know I can get that over 1000 Hr's anyway ...

woohoo! on your green star.
A Green or Emerald Star at the WUProp Project is 20 App's over 2500 Hr's ...
oop's, Mumps beat me to it ... :p
Z according to his Star's has over 65,000 Hr's worth of Star's while my Star's represent over 82,000 Hr's worth of Star's, we're both just going about getting the Star's in a different way ... ;)
Bada Bing!

Congrat'z Al, I'll have a New Gold Center Star & a Emerald Outer Star http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/img/badge...0_1000_500.png in the next 2 Hr's ... :D ... But neither will show until the morning ... :(
Despite my i7 920/GTX-460m being out of service, and my fast office quad core+gpu being no longer accessable, I was able to limp my way to my first WUProp Star, which should show up shortly. Strangely enough, I feel like the WUProp star was the most difficult/rewarding one of all badges/stars.

I believe I also eeked out my first Asteroid badge.
Picked up some following Wu's today for anybody looking for them to increase their Hr Total at the WUProp Project:

So I take it this is something I'll have to sign up for, and it probably doesn't count anything we already did, right? Like I'll be starting at 0 hours the minute I sign up for badging?
@Z - congrats on the second one. Man, you are racking them up fast! :p :cool:
You just have to run the WUProp Project to get the Star Badge from the WUProp Project, it's a NCI Wu, once you join you start from 0 Hour's because nothing was retroactive. The Project Automatically keeps track of your Hr's for each App you run. It takes 100 Hr's from/for 20 App's EACH from whatever amount of Projects or only 1 Project if it has that many App's to get the 1'st Bronze Star. It also only takes 20 App's from wherever Project/Projects to get the Highest Star the Sapphire Badge' but it takes 5000 Hr's x 20 App's to get that one. 5 Stars right now is the Max Amount you can get but that could change down the round. Looking at how the Badge was designed the Project could probably easily go to 9 Star's. I know Z has more App's on Board than I do but I have 123 App's right now with 122 showing Credit Hr's but only 110 over 100 Hr's. It get's harder & harder as you get more & more App's & some of the Projects just dribble out work for some of the App's so those App's just sit at the bottom of the App Pile waiting for more if you luckily enough to pick some up for that particular App.
You have to be careful not to run the same App's too, if a Project has 5 App's you may only get Credit for 2 of them because they overlap ie a GPU App & CPU App at the same Project may do the same work so only 1 Count's. Same for Versions of App's, if one is v1.00 & the Project goes to v1.01 it's still the same App & only counts as 1 App. So your better off to run the CPU Version because the CPU Version will take longer & thus you build up more Hr's.
It's sorta rewarding & gets some of the lower Projects some support that they probably wouldn't get it were it not for the Badge Hunters going for the Badges. Another thing going for the Badge at the WUProp Project will get you Higher Badges at other Projects as you try to build your Hr's at WUProp ... So it's a Win Win situation for Badge Hunter's & MM'ers & the Projects Win Too ... IMO
Here's a Link to the Project's that have Badge's Thread I started some time ago so you know which Projects do have Badge's & may want to start with them so you can Double your Badging Pleasure's ... LOL: http://www.setiusa.us/showthread.php...Project-Badges
Here's also a Link to the WUProp Badge List & How the Stars Progress, it's basically a 20 App Set by either 100-250-500-1000-2500-5000 Hour Count for each Set of 20 App's http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/badges.php
I just got a new Primegrid badge at CUL, it is that yellow or golden one on the right. Well was on the 15th but I only noticed now.
I am getting addicted to badges and as usual I am happy.
Crunching Duke.

It would be the Bronze Cn one above the Ruby PPS Sieve Badge ...
Steve explained it pretty good, and gave the links. Still, it's hard to explain, and I found examples to be handy. Look here:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/55884901/wuprop.ods
It is a spreadsheet that I just copy/paste my star stats into every day or so, to track progress. But if you look at the last tab, it visually explains how the stars work.
True, maybe they are more visually appealing? ;)
@SteVe and Zombie - thanks for the info. Basically to get started I just have to re-attach to WuProp (which I just did on my rig) and then it will record the hours I'm crunching, as long as I'm crunching "project X" and attached to WuProp at the same time. I hope I have that right? If so I should be building some PG hours starting now... :D
Applications A/B/C at project X. It can be multiple applications per project. It records it all: run time, OS, memory usage, checkpointing, disk space, GPU, and more. The point of the project is to record all kinds of information about projects, as a resource for us crunchers. Read more here. The badges are just something to have fun with, in addition to the credits.
Also, I thought we have been telling all our members to always attach to WUprop, for the "free" credits. It's right there on the front page. Maybe an email should go out about it (again), to remind members.
Not exactly sure what I did to get it, but I got bronze for Physics of some sort at Oproject.

I used to run it all the time, and then I think it started messing up when FreeHal was messing up at the same time - this was maybe 8 months to a year ago? Anyway, at that time I disconnected from both FreeHal and WuProp, and never reattached until today. So now I'm back to running WuProp again. :)
Working my way towards my first star for wuprop I got Attachment 1281 for 2,000,000 on primegrid PPS sieve Attachment 1282 for 10,000 on enigma, and Attachment 1283 for 10,000 on numberfields.
Joining the WUProp badge club!

The Hare Strikes again ... lol ... Got a Shiny New Gold Star in the Middle now ... http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/img/badge...0_1000_500.png ... Need to move 5 more App's between 500-1000 over 1000 for that 4'th Ruby Star to go along with the 1 Emerald ... :D
