Hey guys, living in the US. I got from newegg.ca a card for nakedwines in the US. A rebate of 100$ for box of wine over 160$, shipping include.. from what the card says.

They don't ship to canada, so I must give it away. and I think, the WCG team, can enjoy it!

Should I make a thread for a random, or first MP gets is? it says 30 days for register and use.. I think.
I'm sure we much have some oenophiles here, also known as winos.

I got the same coupon a while back. I didn't research the product too much but it is highly likely that:

A) A lot of folks also got the coupon
and
B) The real value of the $160 wine is more like $30-40

I could be wrong though :oops:

Well, Linux Mint is running just fine. However, I cannot, for the life of me, get BOINC to open or for the Linux Package to download.

Lisa uses some sort of "Repository" for BOINC and since it is so old non of the updates, or Boinc, have any good links left. 404 not found for nearly all of them!

The shell that Boinc has, for 7.2.42, has been inpossible to open! Even in command line! My problem, I think, is the wording for the Directory it is in. I keep getting a "not Found" when I try to open it. I have tried a bunch, until 3:30 AM last night!

So, since trying to mount all these OS's, over the last few days, I cannot get it to boot into Windows. i found a way to change my Windows password but, now cannot get it to boot. Even with putting the HDD it is on, in the first two slots of the Boot order in BIOS.

So, I am now downloading a win7 Ultimate.iso and will try and repair the Win 7 OS and then, hopefully get it to boot so I can use my trick to replace my lost password.

Then, I will update my BOINC and get it crunching. Oh the fun!!:rolleyes:

Meanwhile, the P4 machine is in the same boat, forgot the password. I downloaded the Lisa.iso to a USB, because I can't get it to boot from the optical disc. I am hoping I can save the files, including a working Boinc Manager, when I refresh it. If I remember right, it gave me that option when I was loading up Lisa on this machine.

Anyway, hopefully I will, at least, have This 'Ole Comp crunching!

After I get Windows back running, I am gonna reposition This 'Ole Comp on the lower shelf and move Karen to the currently working on, shelf! LOL. Then, I can spend some time trying to boot her up on Ubuntu, and get her Crunching, in the next day or so. Maybe even the P4 will be going soon, also.

Next Thursday, or Friday, after Payday, I am gonna bus it over to the Box Shop, in Bloomington. There I can fulfill my list of needs cheaply and possible have another two boxes going, plus the MAD Cruncher.

That will be 6 Desktops and my Lappytop Crunching. That will be 8 Cores and 4 threads! Considering my Farm, last time it was running, was 4 cores, not bad.

A threefold improvement, eventually! Oh! I also have the Amazon Virtual churning out about 500 points a day! Almost forgot! :laugh:


So, that's it for today, gotta go watch the Wild Game and then burn the Win 7 iso, when I get back. I can't wait until I can look back on this and smile. It has been a while since I have been in messing with these boxes. It is a little frustrating now, due to time constraints, work and all, but I am pushing to have them all running by Challenge time. Plus, possibly rebuilding This 'Ole Comp with a new Motherboard, another Socket A'er board but, better than mine, and a 3200 in her to replace the 2600, oh, and a new Heatsink! So I can burn this thing a little hotter!!:D

OK, I'm off! Might stop back in after the game, on my LappyTop, if'n I'm up for a Win 7 Repair!:p

Union Gospel Mission, a homeless shelter for the likes of me and 400 others. Long, Sad, Boring Story of how I came to be here. But, it is what it is and I will, am, making the best of it! I recently acquired my own room, hence the re-making of the Farm.

Hey team, on my new very compact itx build with the pentium I have a little problem. I can overclock the pentium but it only works in windows. So I could overclock to 4.4ghz or run linux that gives about a 25% performance boost no matter the clock. I can still undervolt with linux. Right now with maximum cpu load and gpu load I the whole system is using 115w at the wall. So I could go for undervolted efficient linux or overvolted maybe more ppd windows. Which would net more ppd?

Ions estimator and adding 25% for linux is giving me about 2777 ppd on linux at 3.2ghz and about 3000 ppd on windows at 4.4ghz.

I am leaning towards linux I think, especially since I plan on folding too.

Eh, 300ppd isn't much of a difference; I'd go for the more conservative clocks w/ Linux. And since you're leaning toward Linux anyway, I'd go that route mos def.

Hey guys, a bit of an update from me.

I may have to opt out of running WCG until I get my own place. I'm basically banned from the network and I honestly can't find the funds to pay for the $55/month deal. A fellow TPU member did donate enough money and it'll be put to good use, I do promise that.

Reason for the break is stuff at home is getting worse and mentally, I'm at a breaking point. I'd love to learn wifi cracking just to lock my mother out of her wifi but I'm not about to break a law when my interview tomorrow is with the Department of Defense. I've been looking for a crisis hotline but I've found no luck.

I guess I'll hold out playing Total War and Banished, and checking the forum. This forum is probably one of the few things that makes me smile still. It feels like a family to me.

Thank you, everyone.

Alright, 4 cores coming back online. My g1620 celeron will need to spool up as it is on a new linux install. My penium g3258 is spooled up and ready although not clocked as high as I want. Both remote i3's are currently offline and I don't know when they will come back online. I think I am ready for the challenge.

Thank you, everyone.

Damn it sucks being in a position like this, especially coming from your own. First of all you don't need to hack a wifi if you have physical access to the router. Use lan cable and you can change the password, limit bandwidth or some routers have even a guest account that can be activated. I know my parents wouldn't know that it ever happened :) But that seems to be the least of your worries now. Wrt to help, at least in Europe, there are normally school / university counselors always available to their students. And i bet there should be some public / social services that could help if it has come to that. In the end just remember man that live has its ups and downs and we have to endure. All the best and good luck with that job interview.

The actual reason why open this thread before reading these 2 posts is this:



Why is this project getting so many credits?

Why is this project getting so many credits?
Probably because it takes advantage of GPU work? It's just a crypto miner wrapped in a BOINC package.

Looks like bitcoin utopia mines bitcoins and then funds science projects. I doubt it uses gpus because they are near useless for bitcoin anymore. It is probably powered by specialized asics that have tons of computational power for just bitcoin.

Yeah it uses ASICs from what i could read about the project and donates 85% of the mined bitcoins to fund different campaigns. Still the amount of credits assigned to it its more disproportionate than the US defense budget compared to the rest of the world :p

I think that is just because there are a lot of miners with obsolete asics that isn't really profitable for themselves, but combines makes a lot for this bitcoin utopia.

Credits = work done? If so they just have more hardware and compute power.

From what I understand about that setup, they give 85% as mentioned, and keep the remaining 15%.
The poor suckers running that expensive equipment get nada except bills and the knowledge they are assisting.

As long as you weren't drooling or banging your head against the wall, it was probably a good thing. They don't like doing interviews any more than you do. Well generally anyway. There's always some @$$hole that gets off on the power trip but I think they're the exception. Anyway, there's no reason to lead you on or be overly polite.
