Day 9 - PRESSURE!

Hello folks! I don't know what the weather is like where you are, but it has been getting warm here! The AC is now on. Hopefully it is a bit cooler next week. 

 

The team has been eating away at the NFS WUs, however our pace of crunching is much faster than the generation of new WUs! This led to the inevitable lack of WUs. For about half of the day, people were receiving the "No work available" message. It looks like most people had their settings set to store at least a days worth of work just in case. Smart move! This is a good reminder to have a backup project and store a bit of extra work. Also, there is a chance this might happen again. Can we maybe take it easy on NFS's servers? 😂 First it was the crash at the pent and now this! I wouldn't mind seeing some more compute on MilkyWay. Their servers can certainly handle the pressure. 

 

In honor of this, I'd like to recommend the song "Pressure" by BIlly Joel. YouTube Link As for what I'm listening to while I'm writing? I am listening to a recording of an Al Jardine & The Pet Sounds Band concert. They sound amazing and Al is doing a really doing a great job at carrying on the Beach Boys legacy. Hopefully I can find a way to see them this year. I also hope they put together a live album. YouTube Link

 

Today the team has earned 18,455,372 credits. This is a bit less than yesterday. It looks like Chachunka has run out of bunkers. I still think we can see another 20 million credit day! Our new event total is 133,295,414 credits. Nice! Despite the lack of WUs, the team still earned 14,941,556 credits today on NFS. The event total of NFS is nearly at 100 million credits! There has been a solid amount of milk today too. 1,759,468 credits were earned. Over at SignupgeniusDock 1,696,920 were added to the total today. And lastly, after a bit of searching we were able to rake in 57,428 credits. RakeSearch now sits at 99.705% complete of the joint search of ODLS12. 

 

On to the top ten!

In the gold position we have leadeater with 44,671,170 credits. I'm starting to think this guy might like crunching. In the silver position we have danwat1234 with 21,079,035 credits. It looks like his hardware is split between milky and SiDock. And in the bronze position is Geralt with 20,618,651 credits. Chachunka was already safe in fourth, but after the bunker drop yesterday, they are VERY safe in fourth with 12,196,987 credits. In fifth CWP is being an absolute comp wiz with 4,301,621 credits. kiPPei remains in sixth and lays claim to 3,623,129 credits. Cadeus is STILL looking cool in seventh with 2,360,309 credits?! 😎 I've warned you, being this cool is a crime. If I catch you again... you'll be under arrest! Just like me, Sequence211 is threatening Cadeus's cool stature and is trying to take their position. Sequence211 is currently in eighth with 1,997,103 credits. So close to two million! In ninth we have cbigfoot with 1,732,432 credits. It's been a while since I've seen cbigfoot in the top ten for an event. He looks quite happy to be back!  Last but not least we have our NEW honourable gatekeeper, suchamoneypit. Mr. Moneypit has been on a roll and has finally made it into the top ten. He holds the rank with 1,637,809 credits. The question is: Will he keep going? 

 

As for our daily movers and shakers, I can see that @pyrosrock has climbed a rank and now sits in eleventh. All of this action has led @Favebook to fall from tenth to twelfth. Favebook only earned 39,301 credits today. That's quite a bit less than usual. Either something has gone wrong or Favebook is cooking up a bunker. Corrupt Library continues to do his malevolent deeds via the published written word and has climbed two ranks to 14th. @porinahas unfortunately fallen two ranks today and is now in 16th. @justpoet has taken 21st from @Kilrah's grasp and now claims the rank with 785,584 credits. I think @Dr. Will0hlep is cheating because he has yet again gained a rank and is now in 34th! @jowi90 is on the move! jowi90 has been keeping it steady, but today he decided it was time to make a move. After climbing two ranks jowi90 sits in 35th. Lastly, @Imakuni a certified BOINC fanatic has climbed up to 47th. Hey @nikrea2! I see you down there in 48th. I have a feeling your 9700X can earn more than 22 credits a day! I think it's time for you to crank up the HEAT!

 

As you can see, things remain exciting at the Crunchathon!

See you tomorrow!
