There should be details/links in the OP for getting started in crunching or folding for TPU ;)

3 hrs until GO time! :cool:

We need to make sure some of our part timers like @15th Warlock know that the challenge is starting soon. How should we do that? :D
 
My 2 engines are on, my dear Norton! :pimp:

@peche JOIN!!!! At least some hours per day!!! For me challenges are not as important in competition/prizes as the part that moves ppl to crunch for a common effort the same week/2 weeks to finish with an incredible number of PPD, sometimes those numbers are even higher than a whole month. I mean, I do like to be helping when crunching but it's even better when it's not just about the crunch game, it's also like a special event where you're happy to be and to participate, every contribution is appreciated, even the smallest one. I wasn't crunching since a year ago ... but these last weeks it all changed and I also got more motivated to continue because of the challenge. Maybe I won't be folding/crunching so long after these days, but I'll do my best, and that's the spirit, to help, more or less. Think in this way, better to crunch 1 day per year than no crunch ever, vamos viejo! :toast:
 
update the prize list post already :P :lovetpu:
 
I am so ready.

Plus, the P4 Cruncher has 6 jobs done and another done in an hour!!

If Dano ever gets the Key I need, I'll have "Karen" up with two more cores!! For more Crunching Powa!!

I'm not sure how to do it. Seems that somehow the BOINC Manager refuses to upload until Challenges start....:confused:

Weird how it knows to do that.
 
Lol i tried it with my fx put 1 day worth of work in the buffer and it did it before the end of the day hahaha I think it's because i did now 6 threads instead of the usual 5
 
The 4p will barely have enough work to do as my internet is "miraculously restored" at 7PM EST(damn you Comcast:laugh:). I was a little late adjusting my buffer yesterday, so it's very, very close. I wish I could count the WU waiting to be uploaded, but it's like counting a large jar of jelly beans!

:toast:

Go TPU WCG Team!
 
ok i just need to know waht can i do
does it consume much wide band?

Regards

Come on, Counting Jelly Beans is easy! You just start with one,....and when they're gone, there's none! So, you either have a bowl with one in it or none! :roll:

Seems like it. Go to view -> advanced view then you can see how many tasks you are running, estimated time etc. Also in tools -> computing preference you should set your CPU time to 100% because that's how it's done during a challenge :P
