[IronBits]

That will be a nice addition to the stats. :thumbs:

[Bok]

I'd love to do it but alas no data exported yet..

more dialogue (http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=26164&lastpage=yes) with WCG though so perhaps in the future :)

[Shish]

OOOHHH Just found them:eek: Seems I have 2 silvers for previous work.
Wottt, Bok can't figure out how to add to stats? Don't believe it.
Has to have too much work on for a change:D:thumbs:

[Bok]

Data just not available en masse..

I could do it, but it would mean 230,000 connections to the WCG servers and I think I'd be IP banned :)

Of course I could do it for a select few, but I'm not going down that road... well perhaps I'll take just a gentle private stroll :p

[Shish]

No "doing a LaurenU2" please. Not worth getting Free-DC that much trouble flooding poor WCG servers.
Know you CAN do it, but not really too bothered...honest:D:thumbs:;)

[IronBits]

Of course, if you do it just for Team Free-DC Members :rolleyes: :p

[Shish]

H'mm, didn't think of that....:o:p

[pfb]

Not really been around much and so just noticed this...

Help Fight Childhood Cancer, Help Conquer Cancer, Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2 and Fight Aids are all Ruby for me :)

[alpha]

Just got my first bronze on Human Proteome Folding Phase 2 with Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy nearly done as well. It's a loooong way to silver, I might have to switch over some more boxes.

[Bok]

Ruby for Influenza :)

[Bok]

Congrats! The badges are starting to sound like Pokemon games... :rotfl:

[Bok]

Emerald in 'Help Conquer Cancer' !

Tomorrow I think my emerald in 'The Clean Energy Project' will arrive - only 15 cpu days away with 20 pending :)

[Bok]

Completed my emerald badges on all projects possible (no more work available for Dengue Drugs)

:thumbs:

[pfb]

Got my first Sapphire badge for Muscular Dystrophy... :)

And are we taking part in http://www.free-dc.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20660 ?

[Bok]

nice !

I'll take part, though I'm not the founder there, so PCZ needs to initiate it..

Bok

[PCZ]

FDC signed up for the xmas challenges.

[Bok]

Thanks,

I've set all my remaining machines to start depleting PrimeGrid and running the Childhood Cancer project at WCG - may even get up close to Sapphire level..

[pfb]

Lost 2 lower end machines but still have a decent enough of oomph to keep a respectable throughput going :)

Hopefully should get Sapphire for Childhood Cancer, Conquer Cancer and Proteome Folding and possibly Aids@Home in the next month during the Xmas Challenges :eat:

[pfb]

Sapphire for Human Proteome Folding - Phase 2 gained - couple more to go :D

[Bok]

sweet. I'm a couple of days out of Sapphire in Help Fight Childhood Cancer..

[Bigred]

As of this morning, I've got bronze across the board.:bouncy: I should see some silver in a day or two. I'm still trying to scrape up a little more to put on it.:evillaugh:

[Bok]

Just got my Sapphire on HFCC :)

[pfb]

Nice - looks like I'm 1 or 2 updates away from my 3rd Sapphire (with HFCC)...

[pfb]

Sapphire in Fight Childhood Cancer gained; Fight Aids @ Home is my next target :)

3 down and some to go :crazy:

[Bigred]

Lets see, I've been running this about 10 days now and I've got 4 silver and 2 bronze. I just wonder what I'll have at the end of the challenge. Speeking of the challenge, how are we doing on that?:hiya:

[Bok]

:bigtrain:

[pfb]

FightAIDS@Home Sapphire completed - just got Help Conquer Cancer left on my list for this year :crazy:

[Bok]

going for the same one as me now then :) I'm at about 1.33years right now..

[pfb]

Got 106 days - hoping to get that by Christmas...

/edit - not 6 days as I posted first :P

[alpha]

Finally got my first silver. :blush: Gold is gonna take a while..

Focusing only on HCC and HPF during the challenge.

[Bigred]

4 Gold and 2 silver now.:D

[pfb]

And now have Sapphire for Help Conquer Cancer :) That completes my set of 5 I had planned to get down this year :) - focussing on getting Nutritious Rice for the World up a bit (currently at Ruby on that).

[Bok]

Congrats! I think you just pipped me at the post :)

As of this morning's update I'm at 1yr 361days & 18hours for HCC.. I've suspended all WCG work for the Primegrid 3day challenge, but perhaps I have enough in pending to make it over the line in tonight's update..

Bok

[pfb]

I think I got lucky and had around 15 days worth or so validate yesterday...not that I'm complaining :crazy:

[alpha]

Just got my second silver, on Help Conquer Cancer. I've now selected it as my only WCG project and I'm going for gold!

[pfb]

Sapphire for Nutritious Rice for the World gained - that's them all done that I can get at the moment :guntotin:

[pfb]

And got Bronze for Beta recently as well :)

[Bok]

I've got beta checked but rarely seem to get any tasks :(

[zombie67]

I've got beta checked but rarely seem to get any tasks :(

They rarely have work. And you cannot check *just* beta. So no way to get any beta without crunching something regularly.

[Bok]

yeah, I know, I meant I have it enabled... :)

And the only other one I have is the Discovering Dengue Drugs 2 and I rarely get work for that either..

[pfb]

From the notes for Dengue Drugs:


As the project switches between programs, Phase 2 workunits may be temporarily unavailable and the project will appear to run intermittently. This is in contrast to most World Community Grid projects, where workunits are continuously available until a project ends. It is suggested that World Community Grid members allow other Grid projects to run whenever Phase 2 workunits are not available.

Last time I got a WU for it was a week ago...
