Thank you for checking - it seems okay today.

I had a machine which refused to connect with either boinccmd or boincmgr (timed out and then said "Please try later"). I guess it could just been that machine - it is now on something else

Have been having hellish problems these past few days connecting to the project from new clients.

Anyone else seeing same problem?

Yes, sir, all 64 threads crunching hard on TN-Grid. Same machine is additionally running PrimeGrid on three nVidia 1080 incidentally so it is earning well. Keeps me nice and warm here in Aberdeenshire

I am not overclocking the Ryzen but I am running only fma work units

ETA: under Linux by the way

Hi Gunnar

Many thanks for your message & I totally agree with the sentiments you express.

You would be most welcome to visit us on www.tsbt.co.uk and, if I can point out, you don't need to be based in Scotland to join our team :-)

Happy crunching

Seems to me that Competitive crunching is about getting the maximum number of WU validated during the timespan of the Challenge AND before the WU expire. For example, I am unaware of any 'rules' which forbid bunkering.

Peter and others in The Scottish Boinc Team have educated me into a whole range of techniques to help me maximise output from my own machines.

Like Pete, I pay for my own machines and my own electricity but let me point out that Pete is rated #9 in the all-time, cross project total points scored on Boincstats. Modesty will have prevented him from telling that he has accumulated over 650 BILLION points to advance medical and scientific research.

All in all, it is hard to see where anyone is losing out - perhaps the projects not chosen to be in the challenge? So your pending WU take a few days longer to clear - not really a big deal is it?
