Willy, how about getting BOINCstats involved?

The 200,000,000th Result Team Challenge

. . . it might be fun, and we could possibly get more members to participate on WCG.

Too bad it's not compatible with the challenge stats here on BOINCstats.

But, I'm all for it, I have some systems attached to WCG, I'll up the resource share.

Willy:


I looked around the Q&A's but couldn't find anything about team signup. . .

As team captain, I believe only you can sign us up for the 200M Result Challenge.

. . . let's roll, I have 6 out of 7 cores engaged on WCG as we post.

I clicked around but I'm clicking in circles, I can't find any "join challenge" button/link anywhere.

Willy:

We got our answer:

Only your team captain can see the join challenge button. He needs to be signed in, then he will see it on the challenge page.

The I think I'm not the team captain although I am. Confused? So am I!

My username at WCG is '[BOINCstats] Willy', the team captain is 'BOINCstats Willy'. Something is missing and somehow I think it doesn't recognize me as captain.

I tried to send a message to, well, me and this is what the email page says:
There is not currently a captain of your team, or the captain of the team has not opted-in to receive E-mails from members of the team.

I checked, and I do allow emails.

So, I have to find a way to get the team back.

Edit: send email to WCG

Perhaps some "BOINCwide teams" feature - stripping off special characters from user name before "promoting" them to team captain?

BOINCstats was established at WCG long before even somebody thought about the BOINCwide team feature.

Willy:


Here's another response:

Remind him that if he wants to act as your team's captain he must sign in as "BOINCstats Willy" and not as "[BOINCstats] Willy"...

Do they have a 'lost password' option?

. . . they would then email another.

We are in.

I never thought about the possibility that it was a separate account, I thought it was a mess up at WCG and they ditched the [] for some of my account functions (very much possible since at first WCG wouldn't accept the []).

Anyway, we are in, let the games begin!

John:

If you haven't already:

Just sign up, join Team BOINCstats and start crunching.

Since this challenge is for results, when you sign up for projects, don't select 'rice' . . . last I remember, the Rice project WU's run 8 hours on any machine.

John:


Glad to have you onboard with TEAM BOINCstats!

Our results will probably start trickling in early tomorrow morning, the way I understand the WCG accounting system is that individual results update at midnight and noon [UTC], but team standings only get updated at midnight [UTC]. . . then it takes about 2 1/2 hours for them to get tabulated.

. . . we are in uncharted territory and will learn as we go.

I am going to hold off on this challenge for now as I am not even attached to WCG....but I promise to join in on the next one they hold that the team gets involved in ....let all the bugs get ironed out 1st ....... just give me the start date and the task type to crunch before the next one starts ..Thanks and Good Luck-JR

EDIT- on 2nd thought I will throw 1 or 2 hosts in to try as I need to get a handle on WCG before the next one <G>

Geez this is convoluted ... manager won't create an acct...go to website.....site is not laid out well....looks more DC than Boinc

Granted, WCG used to be a stand alone project and just migrated over to BOINC in the last year or so.

. . . they still do some things a little differently.

Ok Sid thanks...succesfully attached 1 host....selected cancer project...task says 11hrs on a P4 2.8g....sound right? or is the estimate overinflated? Which project has the shortest tasks?

JR:


That sounds about right for your P4.

Here are my 'cancer' results on a P4, 3.2G.

With a P4 or less, sign up for 'rice'. . . they run 8 hours on any machine.

OK Sid now you have me utterly confused....you told JonBoy not to sign up for rice but on a P4 rice is the fastest? So we should run rice?

Trying to give us the most results right? So C2D and P4 needs different projects?

Oh and the link you gave doesn't work....just sends me to my acct page
