    OOOHHH Just found them 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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    nice !

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

    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..

    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

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

    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?

    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..
