I've seen reference to cobblestones being assigned manually at infrequent intervals. When was it last done, and how long until it gets done again? I've been trying to get all the badges, and only need PSA. And TPS, but that's a different story.

How often are manual cobbelstones processed on average?

This is somewhat related, but i was wondering if the primes that we find in PRPNet are ever added to our prime counts under the Top Prime Finders page. I only ask because i have several hundred finds under ports 10k and 11k, but maybe they are not listed because they have already been found? Just wanted to know if there was any hope of me moving up the list. Thanks!

It would be nice to have a place, where one can look up the date of last manual granting of BOINC credits for each PSA subproject (port).
Maybe this could be integrated as an extra column of PRPNet-Stats?

Just started...... They will come a little each day until they are done

Did the automated granting of BOINC credits for PRPnet work not actually pan out or something? Two days ago (8/23--though due to time zone difference, on the stats page it came out partly on 8/23 and partly on 8/24) I did about 10 CPU-hours of work on the PPSE (n>1M) server; it hasn't yet shown up in the BOINC stats.

Ah, I see. Note that this particular stint of work was actually done in one day; so, thus, granting it all in one day would quite accurately reflect how it was earned.

Also, I'm not currently running any BOINC clients; all of my contributions come via PRPnet. Would that throw off this formula and cause credit to be granted more slowly than it should?

Of course, as the text you quoted stated, manual credit granting is being done every 1-2 weeks on average; it's only been two days, so it's not surprising that it hasn't come yet. I had been under the impression from the previous post that it was now an automatic process that happened on a daily basis, but it seems that is not the case after all.

Thanks, that's good to know. BTW, one other quick question: a friend of mine from the NPLB project has his PRPnet clients configured with PrimeGrid's servers as backup. A few days ago, we had a server crash and his clients fell back to the 27121 server, crunching a total of 4 pairs (I'd guess about 8 CPU-hours given the size of the tests). He has never used BOINC, and does not have a PrimeGrid account. If he were to register for one with the manual registration form, and credit was assigned to him next time PRPnet credits are distributed, would his RAC of 0 therefore cause the credits to stay in limbo indefinitely? Or is manual intervention used in specific cases like this to "jump start" his RAC accordingly?

Hi guys,

I have also have this - probably very common - question on when/how to receive the PSA credits.
Actually, I only have the prpclient running occasionally, however, I already earned more than 100k - distributed over the projects SGS, FPS and GFN32768, and recently sr5 (that nice challenge :-) ).

I think I started at the beginning of November, and yet nothing showing up in the stats.

So, does that sound just normal and I need to wait longer, or is there something wrong?

Thanks for any comment here!

Thanks for your reply, Michael.
That just assures me that everything is working fine.

I just thought I read something about 'every few weeks' so I started getting nervous... ;-)
Anyway, maybe it'll be a nice little Christmas gift!

What with all the other activity going on that's much more worthwhile such as converting to gpu apps, 2011 challenge series, prime testing and reporting and answering questions from all us impatient folks, I was just wondering when the credits from PRPNet would be updated in PrimeGrid.

It sure did. I got one as well when I logged on this morning. So now if someone in the know can explain the distribution part that would be great. Since I have a ton of credits on prpnet. I know there's not a 1 to 1 transfer and 99% of my credit on prpnet is from the ppse10 and sgs ports and based on what I read before I have enough for a silver. However then there's the RAC part which I guess I dont understand.

Thanks

Approximately 18 PRPNet credits = 1 Boinc credit.

So divide PRPNet by 18 and that is somewhere around what PSA should eventually show (assuming LLR stuff, sieve stuff may vary).

Credit is transferred in chunks over however many days needed in order to avoid spiking the RAC.

YMMV

Apparently there's an issue.. no prpnet credits applied last night :(

Ain't it amazing how one watches for little things that don't mean much?

Hello,

It's been about 3 weeks since I exceeded 400 000 for the bronze badge, I know it takes between 1-4 weeks and I think it also depends on the CARs (besides, I do not know about mine PRPNet?) but still .... still nothing ....

Besides, I think I member of the AF (Polaris_AF), which exceeded 3 million and still nothing also ....

This is from the thread PRPNet discussion posted yesterday so it looks like the credits will be showing up soon.

Pardon my ignorance but why are two different sets of points/credits in the first place?
Can't you convert the PRPNet points system down to the BOINC cobblestone system in a one time re-alignment and be done with it and avoid the sporadic voodoo point adjustments?

I'm not talking about changing the project status vs BOINC, just align the credit structure so everyone knows where they stand credit wise with BOINC at any point in time, and save the 'manual credit adjuster' a whole lot of time and effort. Either way we end up at the same destination- BOINC credit conversion- either the easy way or the hard(less easy?) way. IMHO :)
