Man that sucks. Wish I knew how to help. Oh well, just keep on truckin... (Very Old School there)

Well, after 13,500 wuprop hrs I managed to eke out my Sapphire Badge in WCG Help Conquer Cancer...with only 2 days to spare.
Edit: Just noticed my WCG sig graphic changed to gold...cool!
I can cross the Second Sapphire Star http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/img/badge..._1000_1000.png off my Bucket List ... :D
One WUProp Bronze Star turned Silver ---> http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/img/badge...50_100_0_0.png
Now things get progressively harder.... :bz
Upper right star just turned green.
Ruby GFN!
That one took a long time.
Got my first and probably only ( for the foreseable future) WUprop badge. (:|

My snail carrying schistosoma turned gold from silver.
Yes they do! A lot of the sub projects currently are out of work!
In my run to 100 projects ... I'm not there yet, I found something interesting. There are 4 NCI projects (3 quake reporting and 1 radioactivity) that require sensors. They WILL run without sensors AND WuProp will record the time just like if you had sensors. Obviously you will never generate any credit for your work but you will get the time for WuProp. On the projects that I don't want to show up on my main account I've been running them under a different account. WuProp doesn't care what account the projects are under.
Ah! That never occurred to me, as I crunch those naturally, and already have those in blue. But good tip!]
FWIW, I have 155 apps with time. 122 with color (>100 hours), which is 6 hypothetical stars. But seriously, there are at least 50 projects with work, and about 100 apps with work too.
That is if you have Windows, Linux, Darwin, and GPUs at your disposal. If all you have is Windows there isn't enough to get to 100 right now. Some of your projects like Physics that has 8 subprojects is down, RNA only has 1 sub now etc etc. For days I've been grabbing everything that comes up and I'm still short ... very close but short :))
UPDATE:
There are actually 4 Quake reporting projects ... I forgot La Red de Atrapa Sismos and there is the radioactivity project as well. So there are 5 projects that are non-computer intensive and you DON'T have to have sensors to run them.
After getting them all to 100 hours and qualifying them on WuProp I tried an experiment. You can run ALL 5 projects simultaneously without a problem and they use very little CPU power. So for those wanting to change color of their stars these are MUST RUN projects (IMHO) :))
When you get the hours to where you want them on one of the projects just ABORT the WU and then UPDATE the project. WuProp moves the hours from pending to valid hours run when the WU is reported ... it doesn't care if the WU finished normally or was aborted - it only cares if it was reported.
4 quake projects? That's news to me. What is the 4th?

My wuprop star turned red :)
DING DING DING DING and DING
15 days of running nothing but WuProp and I have my 5 stars :D One is silver it just doesn't know it yet :))
That's it, I'm done ... back to my regular crunching!
I need to thank the anonymous donor who crunched 3 Linux apps for me so I didn't have to wait 12 days for my GPU to finish them off!
Silver star on WUprop showed up. And a silver WCG badge too on the same day!
Damn that is addicting now.
Ding! Bottom left star turned from gold to red.

Got my first GPUGrid badge. Don't know why I didn't crunch for it sooner. It only took me a day.

congrats on gpugrid and wuprop star!
My WCG cep2 badge turned gold :D

Since this is the badge thread, not sure if people noticed yet, but PG expanded their badges. Ste\/e is going to go crazy!!!
No not really, all they've done is added higher levels to the Badges they already have, you still can only have a max of 17 Badges as it stands now. I have no interest in chasing almost impossible Badge levels with the Computers I have now at PrimeGrid. Mostly the Higher Badge Levels set up are for either guys with a ton of computers at their disposal & for future computers with the Performance increases they may have ... IMO
New & Improved WUProp Badge ... http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/img/badge..._1000_1000.png ... :D
Upgraded my WCG-CEP2 Badge to Ruby.

Just noticed I have a new WCG badge (Totally missed that I had the Bronze), though mine isn't Ruby, yet.... https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.or.../pb/cep2_1.jpg
I got my 2nd wuprop star today :D
