80 Beeeelion credits!!!
80 Beeeelion credits!!!
No not me (I wish!) but UBT as a whole broke the eighty billion total credit mark earlier today - https://www.boincstats.com/stats/-5/tea ... rojectList
Not counting BU of course.

Re: 80 Beeeelion credits!!!
Hi Mark
Well spotted...and I hadn't noticed that we were even getting close to such a landmark...and you alone account for approx 1/5th of those credits, as you've amassed 16bn !! So, congrats to you too, for such an amazing total.
Think I might reward myself with a Hobnob or two...but will need to go to the shops first to get some...
Mind you, TSBT are just under 5bn behind, so there's not letting up on the efforts to becoming the first UK team to secure the 100bn mark...something that only 13 teams have achieved so far.
Having said that, we're still only in 20th place in terms of total non-BU credits...and some teams could get to 100bn before us, though none are in the UK...XS is most likely to be next to hit 100bn....they are on 97,658,917,947 and currently earning about 1.5bn per month...

Tim

Hi Tim,
Just over a year to a hundred billion at todays rates (390 days) but much quicker at the rates generated when GPU sprints are on
"This time next year we'll be hundred billionaires"

Re: 80 Beeeelion credits!!!
HI Mark
So, we've taken maybe 15+ yrs (as a Team) to generate 80bn and will take maybe 1 more year to earn the extra 20bn to reach the 100bn total.
That really does show how much the tech has changed, from having just a few CPUs earning a few thousands of credits per month, to now we'ra talking about 10s, even 100s of millions per month.
Just a shame that some projects cannot re-engineer their applications to take advantage of GPUs (as that would make it easier/faster for UBT to reach the target sooner ).

Re: 80 Beeeelion credits!!!
Hi Tim,
I remember in the early days trying to find a project that would generate a thousand credits in a day, now Collatz does that in a few seconds! Maybe with technology improving, we'll get that final 20 billion in time for Christmas
Not all projects can be ran on GPUs, some tasks just aren't suited for it.

Re: 80 Beeeelion credits!!!
Did it help that I joined this team with my 25 billion credits?

Re: 80 Beeeelion credits!!!
HI Carl
OF COURSE it has helped...
I think you joined the team around the same time you joined the forum (early May) but sadly, the only stats I can see are the 40 days worth (back to 12th June) as shown on BOINCstats:
https://classic.boincstats.com/en/stats ... 8/lastDays
And that's about 444,004,016 credits, in that time...so about 11m per day on average - and if that is extrapolated back by another 40 days, that's about 900m credits.
So, yes, you have been a big benefit to the Team...
regards
Tim

Re: 80 Beeeelion credits!!!
congrats to all concerned. Although i have been BOINCing since 2003 mostly with SETI at the time and then PG from 2011, i didnt really join the UBT until 2018. I've really enjoyed my time in the forum and FB makes it a bit of fun. Great bunch of lads (and lasses, we can't forget Penny) who are never hesitant to give advice and encouragement.

Re: 80 Beeeelion credits!!!
Thanks Neil! My contribution to the massive total is pretty minor, but well done to the rest of the mega-crunchers - and thanks to CO for his monster contribution recently. Who'd've thought in the early days that these sort of levels were possible?
