Hey guys, Ryan Booth here.  I got a shout-out on the May 3rd live stream for being a hefty contributor to the BIONC team.  I would like to say a big thanks to Liquidus for founding this amazing team.  I hope that we will continue to grow as a team and community.  I average ~230,000 credits and would love to start a thread where we post our system configurations for BOINC.  Once again, I cannot thank you enough, Liquidus, for creating the LinusTechTips_team!

Do it up! As you can clearly see, I kind of want somewhere to discuss BOINC, but it gets lost in all the Folding threads that I end up just posting here.

Also, to keep it kind of competitive and interesting, it seems Colin and I (Full Throttle on Boincstats) are in a race to top 10 with Camisatx trying to stay ahead of us

Aww Liquidus, Ryan beat you to making a thread (don't know if we can have a mod merge them or not).

Though I must say, your thread header looks way cooler.

Daaaaamn... slick just beasted through the rankings.  Also, my rig seems to fold a lot less quickly when I'm not around to constantly update it... is there a setting to make sure it doens't just sit idle? (Like for updates when all tasks are complete)

Where are you from?  I'm in the US.  There is a server down I think.  I can't see any team stats for Collatz Conjecture, nor can I turn in any work.  I will post back when everything is working how it should be and then you can try it again.

if you mean projects by saying teams; seti (search for extraterrestrial intelligence) search's for any intelligent creature on space milkyway = maps the milkyway galaxy and so on you can check each projects website for more information

Milkyway@home takes a bit of the galaxy from Sloan's Digital Sky Survey, and causes your computer to render a 3D representation of that part. Whatever part you happen to get.

Yeah, NBody's are the the larger calculations. They also don't seem to be done via GPU so I tend to turn them off (my CPU runs way too hot). That's still kinda crazy  huge though.

As for Ryan, i guess he moved on to another team. Or maybe he decided BTC mining was more aligned with his fiscal situation.
