I've come out of hibernation and now have all my old Threadrippers fired up and ready to crunch, along with a couple of Intel rigs, and my new DD 7950X rig I built in Dec. I will have 11 computers in total, with 364 threads worth of compute power. No GPU's, though, beyond a single 2080 Super in...

I passed 1 billion in Einstein today, so that's project #7 for me.

Private GFN Server is #15 for me.

SiDock (finally!) makes number 44 for me.

Since last posting in this thread, I have hit 1 million points in four more projects: SiDock, VDW Numbers, Kryptos, and Beef. That makes a total of 61 projects with >1 million points for me.

Universe was #13 for me several months ago and I just passed 100 million in Minecraft@Home, so that makes #14.

I am all-in on this challenge. Let's do this!

See, I'm just not that smart. :confused:

Newer BOINC software than is available in the repos. The repo versions are often many, many versions behind the latest BOINC release. I like running the newest drivers and software. It bit me this time. I know many people use this BOINC version from that PPA, so I wasn't alone.

I haven't decided, either. Did it full bore the last two years and am kind of burned out on it. Might just focus on other project goals this year. More MegaMilestones!

I did some testing and discovered the costamagnagianfranco PPA version of BOINC also causes Cruncher OGR work at Yoyo to fail immediately. I am not sure why this BOINC version causes failures at so many projects, but I think the lesson is: just don't use it.

DO NOT use the “boinc development release” from the costamagnagianfranco PPA. It is causing problems and failed work on many projects. QuChem and MLC, which are both native Linux, all work fails. Also, any and all projects running VBox work, the VM’s won’t spin up and you’ll get a “can’t...

On it.

Congratulations! I see you guys won and didn't need my help anyway, but I wanted to explain why I didn't join in the sprint. First, I don't switch teams at all anymore. I did it one time and still regret it. No offense to TAAT whatsoever, as your team is a great bunch of guys. I am just loyal...

Hit #43 with Gaia@Home.

Gaia@Home is #57 for me. It took me less than 24 hours of crunching it to hit this milestone.

SRBase makes project #6 for me.

Private GFN Server is #42.

Yafu makes #41.

GPUGrid is now my fifth project at 1 billion points.

Cosmology makes 40 for me.

MLC@Home was #38. Rosetta is #39 (finally!).

Minecraft@Home is #37.

MLC@Home is #56 for me.

Minecraft@Home is #55.

T Brada (PADLS) makes #36.

Ithena makes #54 for me.

And QuChemPedIA@Home makes #35. Not sure what is up next... Maybe Cosmology, Rosetta, or PADLS...

Asteroids is #34 for me. QuChemPedIA@Home should be next.

SRBase is now my 12th 100 million point project.

Do the same thing for BOINC Combined score. I think you'll find the team moved over to BOINC projects around 2013-2014, right when the FAH rank started dropping.

Latin Squares (ODLK1) is #33 for me. Rosetta up next.

Just got #52 with the Private GFN Server project.

WEP recently made #32 for me. Working on Latin Squares (ODLK1) now.

Thanks, guys! I was very surprised to have so much luck this year, after finding only one prime during the entire Tour de Primes last year. Most of the credit goes to Nvidia and their Turing GPUs for giving me the capability to find so many primes.

Please update my title to reflect my recent "[H]ard|DCer of the Year 2019" win. Thank you!

Thank you for this honor. I have honestly been trying to win this since joining the team back in 2014 and have now finally won. I guess the nine Threadripper builds (plus a 3950X!) and a metric ton of GPU's finally convinced you guys to give me the honor! :D

You mean earn money for crunching what I already crunch AND not have to leave Team [H]? Umm, yes, please! Sign us up!

Don't worry, even with minimal effort from the [H], we will never look like failures in FB. Bank on that. :cool:
