89! -- & 60 just 3 weeks later!
Things are moving so smoothly that despite the loss of one of our biggest contributors Rusty and his "render farm" for the past week, SPCR folding has moved to 89th place! 11 places in 5 days. This implies 79 by next weekend!

78 on Monday!
Hello:
Well, we've made it to 78 and it looks like the "sailing" to 74 is going to be fast! After that, there will be a little slower progression up to 68. We have also gained our 100th member!

Some take longer than others...
Hello:
Some work units take longer than others! There are dozens of projects, and they are all different. The key things for distributed computing are patience and perserverance!

If you look at the top 1000 teams you'll see that all the teams have a peak there. Very odd. Might be a bug. As if they miss points from time to time and re-add them all at once to get the totals right again.MikeC wrote:wow, 5/13 has been an amazing day -- 1679 work units so far?!
But according to the stats on extremeoverclocking we did have a recordbreaking day total of 3770.

I bet it's the Stanford servers...
Hello:
Either that or Tragus, TRC-113, bkh, Twisted Animator, and mjrusso45 just had excellent days!
I'll bet it's the servers -- they may have just had a "pile up" and then one or more of 'em got things uploaded to the main computer all at once.Wrah wrote:If you look at the top 1000 teams you'll see that all the teams have a peak there.

I did have a pretty good day.
Yesterday though I delivered one of my boxen to their new home, so the folding from that Barton 2500+ has stopped However, I just ordered my new Barton for myself and I have a PC half assembled on my desk that should be folding for me for a couple days. My stats should increase.
Also a couple of my boxen at work were shut down while I was on vacation for a week. That never helps the old stats.

[ I didn't think this was important enough for its own thread, but I couldn't find another that was appropriate.]
I was looking at the other teams yesterday and noticed Utrecht suddenly jumped in its standings. A closer look revealed a single user with an astonishing (and quite anomalous) one day score. See the results here and wonder with me.
My hypotheses:
1. A farm with network connection difficulties (for a *long* time).
2. A farm suddenly came into production.
3. Some weird F@H glitch.
4. A pact with Bealzabub.

Well, I've had my people investigate this 'XP' person and after thorough analysis of that team's forum (be warned, it is in dutch), they've found the following. It appears that the suspect is in fact just screwing around with the rest of his or hers team. We suspect he owns a farm of a large but unknown size. He deliberatily had his firewall block all internet access and after accumulating a large quantity of so-called WU's, opened access again thereby flushing all WU's at once. He's screwing around with the #2 of his team. You know, let them come close then blast off again.
All evidence is circumstantial, the reliability of the sources is unknown. The suspect does not post to the forum himself or by using his XP alias. Currently my people are investigating wether there is any connection between this 'XP' person and someone who calls himself 'MilleniumKnight'.
