That is an amazing prize offer @twilyth !!!! :respect:

Wait.. The challenge is 12 days long? So.. it's like.. the 12 days of Crunchmas? Can we have Crunchmas Day prizes? Just, like, little digital rewards?
♫ On the first day of Crunchmas, Team Captain gave to meeee. ♫

Well, on second thought, maybe we have enough on our plate as it is. Perhaps the next 12 day challenge (possibly near December )

Oh man, I laughed out loud reading that @xvi :roll:

Hi, I'm warming the rigs up to see how much I can crunch! :clap:

peche · May 30, 2015

Stage 2, testing how it does with 100% load on 5 tasks, no more than that...
results will be done or ready tomorrow,

:pimp:

Zachary85 · May 31, 2015

I added two crunchers yesterday, and I should be able to add another one today.

FireFox · May 31, 2015

Maybe i will add one node of my server, but and I say but it's 100% sure :banghead:

WCG Boinc can be run on gfx card?
I have some gfx cards in the closet, 2x hd5830 and 2x hd6790. Which would have more PPD output?
I can try with 2 of them running by night because of heat, for a month. After that if electricity bill allows it, they can be permanently.

How is the scale in the wcg badge/stars vs ppd? Forget it, I found the answer.-

No gpu crunching projects right now but you can always bring some gpu power to the TPU Folding@Home Team

FYI on the badge stars question... that link you posted was the old system- we're not 100% sure on what the new scale is but it seems that each 10k ppd (FreeDC/BOINC points) equals approximately one star.

** PRIZE UPDATE**
We have another prize to add to the pool:

- $20 Paypal gift- provided by @Deelron

Only specific projects run on GPUs. Sadly there are none at the moment.

Also the scale changed after TPU's re-design. I used to have 4 stars now I only have two. I think the scale is something like this:

badge: <5k??
1 star: 5-10k??
2 stars: 10-30k?? (knoxx's average is 27k)
3 stars: 30-50k?? (twylight's average is 47k)
4 stars: 50-100k??????? (Madshot's average is 65k)
5 stars: >100k???????????

@Knoxx29 's dog may have recently lost his testicles, but he has enough balls to give his bed up for the CRUNCH

(real pic..honestly)

I am ready with 2 laptops, I am getting the desktop ready, I just need to wait for a new power supply, comes tomorrow and the monitor comes next week but I can use my sister's crappy monitor.

Arjai · Jun 6, 2015

Got this coming on Tuesday, for "This Ole Comp"

It will be rockin' a 3200+Barton, newly polished piece of Copper for a heatsink, with a nice new Nexus fan.

It will be stock timings, for a few days...

But I am hoping it will be fully up by Day one.

Karen will have a new Heatsink, perhaps a new multiplier. And she'll have both cores running for the Challenge, The GPU still folds without a dedicated core but, a bit slower.

The P4 will be just chugging along, as usual. That little thing has been going strong since I got it!

And the Laptop and the Amazon core, all IN!!

It's all I've got Cap'n!!

Just dug up the post from before, I think I'm thinking of the Kreij Memorial Summer Giveaway idea.
I got confused.

Ya know- I thought about that after I posted also. Thinking we do that at the end of July or early August
