Awesome job guys. Since you were doing so well I held down the fort on eOn.
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.
Note: This feature may not be available in some browsers.
I suspect that the previous updates were run manually, as a result of mods asking the project people about credits.
It's still unlikely that anything much will happen with them on a permanent basis for some time, because we're up to our eyebrows trying to push out the new model.
And now with coping with replies from people who have been asked to update their computers off 7.2.39, which as everyone should know, having read the News item about it, causes file transfer failures.
Challenge is over:

I was hoping to hit 5M points but too many of my hosts were down for too long during/after the power outage.
We did awesome:

Short update after a couple of day running the odroid u3 from emmc card: Total runtime of returned results for this device is now 26 Days and 9 hrs giving 52,965 points. Thus every hour is worth ~84 points.
While the odroid u3 running from microSD card returns 61 pts/h the u3 with emmc turns out to be 35% faster. Or compared to my pc:
[email protected] 183 pts/h
[email protected] 84 pts/h
That's really not bad.
Hmm, sounds like you need a much bigger UPS. G4tUPS40
Wouldn't have helped. Had to power off the electrical panel in the room to add circuits (no hot-add allowed). Good idea, though.
Yes he would have. It would have poped a circuit breaker or 2
Mmm hmmm... I'm beginning to think you have either a cold fusion reactor, or your own hydroelectric dam...
We gained another GIMPS position.
It's been a while since I did PRP but, I'll try and look tomorrow and see what the registration is like. EDIT found it!
Also just remember for PRP points are only granted if something is found using your computer. Doing the WUs does nothing if you don't find anything.
EDIT!
PRP-PSP
Joining the Team
To join you must go to the forum (http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=2692) and properly post a request in the forum thread and send a PM to ltd. Once you see your name on the list or the PM replied to then you are properly on the team. In the post/PM you must say your username and the team you would like to join.
Running the Project
In the forum there is a thread (http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=12239) which has the newest program for the project. At the link (http://tools.1up.no/psp/prpclient/) download and unzip the proper client. First you must update the master_prpclient.txt with your email address and your username. Enter the username provided on the forum that you posted on. For windows in the folder it give you many options of how many cores you have. Choose the correct amount of cores (I choose 8 cores) and run the install-prpclient once. Then run the start-prpclient. This will create the correct amount of command prompts running for the project. To send stats or update the client manually use the update-prpclient-ini.
And your up and running.
Though I'd add the other harder projects to join since I had written this a bit ago, still have more to write as well.
How to join difficult teams
Muon1
Joining the Team
There is no way to join the team before running the client.
Running the Project
To run the project you must download the zip folder from the main website. To register you must create a user.txt file inside the folder and on the first line of the file it must say [H]Username. For example mine is [H]EricE. This then registers you for the [H]orde once results are sent. Inside the folder is a file called muon1_cmdline. This is the version I use as it shows a command prompt of the progress that you can watch other ones such as muon1_background and muon1startup run behind the scenes. Also, you may use the manualsend to ship out the finished WUs if there is enough to send (it will error if there is not enough). Using the muon1_cmdline will ship out the stats automatically as well.
SoB
To Join the Project:
Go to their website www.seventeenorbust.com and click on the “Sign Up” link on the left side. Create a Username and enter your email address. Login to the site with your new username and select the preferences link to add your name to the [H]ard|OCP team.
To Run the Project:
Go to the link Download on the left hand side and get the proper version of the client software. Also download the Prime.txt file and put it in the directory for SoB. Extract the folder and Run “prime95.exe” Make sure you add your username to the Primenet under Test. Other than that just let the client run and your all set the WUs are pretty long though.
Wieferich@Home
To Join the Project:
Go to their website www.elmath.org. Download the correct version for your needs either regular or the multicore. Install then it will prompt you for registration. Add your member name (Eric E) then a password and your email. To join the team you must start the client and where it says “unknown” find [H]ard|OCP.
To Run the Project:
Find your link and run since this is a program. It will run in the background or you can make the windows pop up. To exit just close out.
NickOfTime, you should also check out my post here: http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=19293
Any submitted blocks that have not been allocated to a team
will be allocated to the team you have now selected during the next stats run.
Any submitted blocks that you have already allocated to a team
will not be affected. Only future blocks will go to the new team.
No changes will be visible until the next stats run.
You have until midnight UTC to change your mind without any problem.
Team joins are tracked on a day-by-day basis, so only the last teamjoin
on a given day will take effect. Once midnight rolls around though, your
team selection for that day turns into a pumpkin, err, becomes permanent.
Stats runs typically occur daily at 00:00 UTC.
Hmm, I think I found PSP setup instructions http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=22418577&postcount=88.
Looks like hanluc has been lurking here and not volunteering info on this
edit: make that jondi lurking here who is hanluc....
Ok...so here is where I feel our team has really failed in regards to giving good advice to new members or to encourage team support. Apparently, by running Moo! you can push our teams position for RC5-72. However, to do it, you not only have to sign up for an account at Moo! like other BOINC projects, but also go to http://stats.distributed.net/projects.php?project_id=8 and associate your name with the team like you would running their client. This is why many Vaulters in the past have had problems with adding Moo! to the DC-Vault. If it were added, it would be a true double dipping project because you would get the same credit added twice as far as Vault points. However, for those who have not taken the time to setup their RC5-72 accounts to reflect the Moo! contributions, please do so now.
To do it, make sure you have either ran some work with the RC5-72 client or through Moo! (BOINC).
Go here http://stats.distributed.net/projects.php?project_id=8 after the stats are updated and search for your email address.
On the stats page for your email address, click the button "Please email me my password", which gets you your password.
After you login, you can join teams (by searching for it and clicking join this team), change the displayed name for the email address, etc.
So, for those wanting to stick mostly to the BOINC client, you can help push our position using the Moo! wrapper. Moo! still uses CAL and therefore many older AMD cards will work fine there. That is one of the 3 projects I attach very old AMD cards to. This project also seems to favor AMD. However, I have heard it doesn't like newer drivers. I think version 11 was one of the last ones to not have some kind of issue, but I haven't really kept up. I have also ran very low end nVidia cards there. I think I had like a 128MB card that ran it just fine and maybe even an integrated one that had even less, but can't recall since it was a borg. I will add this info to the all inclusive list for future reference probably tomorrow some time.
Also, when I associated my email to the team, this is what it said (and is good for us)
So if any of our team that has previously ran Moo! and hasn't associated their points to the RC5-72 HardOCP team, need to do so.
Did you use the same email address for both Moo! and RC5-72 accounts?
They have very long runtimes... looking at Grandpa's Completed Wu in Primegrid..
47 hours intel i7-2700K 3.6ghz, 116 hours amd 6276
There is a cuda app but it only run 2.5 faster than amd on my system (6234/660ti)
From looking at the old stats for our team, it looks like 1,500 points per wu completed...
Still waiting for my post to add me to the team to be approved. Started One WU with already registered teammates name... 25% completed...
44% Completed...
Some notes on how to setup if anybody else wants to try ...
unzip program
edit the master_prpclient.ini file
set userid and machineid to your username (bug in prpclient)
uncomment or add servers
server=PSPfp:100:1:www.psp-project.de:8100
server=PSPdc:0:1:www.psp-project.de:8101
comment out any other servers.
comment/uncomment between 32 bit and 64bit exe's or cuda (I had to add cufft32_55.dll to directory for cuda to run)
run ?-install-prpclient.bat (creates X subdirectories)
run ?-update-prpclient-ini.bat (copies ini file to directories with instance id updated)
run ?-start-prpclient.bat (starts prpclient in each directory)
you can see what the prpclient reserved at tools.1up.no/psp/stats
The 1 which was my machine id before, hopefully on submit it will fix itself.
I started a 2nd instance with my username in machineid...
