Hello Everyone

It is very deceiving when i see my rac going from 920,000 540,000..
I bought 2 nvidia card at 300$ each to reach 920,000
Now with the 50% reducing the way it is going i will have at the end a rac of 460,000.
So for returning to a rac of 920,000 i will have to buy 2 more card???

Also i have 3 Cpu quadra core runnung with my gpu 24- 7!!!

Any idea guy's what project i should switch to..???

Regards

Sorry John,
Thank you for the precision...
Primegrid never ask me for donation, most of the time it is Seti Project and other.
I truly appologies...

Question: why challenge?
why Badges? why credit?

i am using GPU & CPU , my electric bill always rise, i did invest dollars on new Nvidia Card and to see my rac going down & also to receive mail asking me money '' donation '' ARE DONATION IS THE CRUNCH WE DO.. i now ask myself: should i move to another project? or should i resales my pc & accessories? after all i don't make money here, it is only a competition that give us the fun , but now, where is the fun????

BTW we are only the 13 october & credit will continu to go down until the end of the month.......Sad very Sad

In the futur many project will achieve their goals and some will make money out of it.. so please have little more respect for cruncher ..it is like a hockey game , one score = 1 point , they never change the rule of the game saying now for every score we will count .075 and if you hit the goaler you get .015, ... ... ...

Hi everyones...

i start crunching DATA the minute Seti Project was starting...Many years ago..
I am not stupid, of course Science evolved, of course it is something great to find more Prime...i am also willing that credit be erased, and Badges deleted, but it make less interesting that's all...

But remember this '' I am not a computer Scientist, the challenge i have with all project & stat & Credit & rank, is to find new way to improved my computer speed.. try 64 bits, install OS, Video card with more GPU performance, try to enhance my Pc'' when i see my rank decrase, i say to myself '' hey , it is time to find something faster, that is the fun i have..
I don't blame Primegrid for that , but i don't like when some people say '' This is not a competition..''or '' the competition is FUTILE''
So 1= Let the data cruncher having their fun!!!
or 2= Deleted credit & Primefinder list base on the top finder list to the lowest !!!BTW , when i saw one cruncher who was at the top, i check what kind of computer he was using to have a great performance, i was so surprise , we exchange email, and he explain to me about multiple core and GPU, so you see it is not everybody who went to Harvard but Boinc project is a great window to learn.......


Question? Is it better to lower Credit on GPU or to Increase Credit on CPU to make everyones Happy???

Why Project give credit?
Why Project have a Badge?
Why Projects have Cruncher Rank?
Why Projects have an CPD?
Why Project have Challenge?
Why Project are log on Boinc World & Country records?
Why project have a rank on World record?

Competition??? of course, without competition , why Credit , Challenge & Badges!!!!!!!!!

I did invest a lots of money on Video cards , GPU & CPU & electrical bill,
to have a 800k per day? Now to keep the same speed i will have to invest again the same amount of money?

That's are rewards....Badge , rank & ....
When a Project will find somethings and will make money out of it , do we '' Cruncher '' will have a piece of the cake? no of course......

Is there a war on Nvidia & Ati over the market????

I had FUN working on all projects and try to reach personal goal , Country rank & .....
Some of you have the nerve to write '' A- Live with that''..
You are lucky , they are rules on this Forums!!!

I do agree with Steve!!!
For me as soon another Project will rise with good credit , i will leave Primegrid , anyway it will not change anything for them , putting down the credit show they have no respect for us...
