Ok. The back and forth on

Ok. The back and forth on "what did you really mean/say" can be entertaining to the third parties.

But it also is getting a little hostile.

Please dial it back some.

Thank you.

Would it help if I built a 100 Tb storage server for the project? I have 400mb/s inet speed here. I'm thinking of building a storage server for me anyway, so.... This may take a couple months to get on my end but I'm willing to build it if it will help the cause, and then you may remote use it at your leisure. let me know, I can go 500 Tb if need be.

Probably have to take that up with project admin. It is not just storage. Usually there are network speed issues and other analysis processing that also need to be done at the central project site

What's weird is the conclusions you jump to.  When I spoke of the last 3 years I was pointing out you were wrong to say they're a shit team.

please quote where I said that. I'll wait. I never said anything of the sort.

You said "your team only contributed about 10% of the results from the top-5 teams yesterday. and it looks like the top player on your team is an American XS transplant doing the bulk of the work... lol."

Which cannot be interpreted any other way.  In fact in a pub that would be grounds for "outside, now!"

I never mentioned my part in those 3 years.

"we" is a pronoun that includes yourself. I know scots speak a dialect of English, but I'm pretty sure "we" has the same meaning. when you say we, you are including yourself. if you wanted to not include your part, you would use "they". but you didn't.

It may include me when I'm in the team, but "we" can refer to a group of people you weren't always in.  OCD doctor is that way ----->

It's what it means.  From cloudflare, the DDOS protectors: "A distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic."

the key distinction is the inclusion of the word "attack" which I did not say. I didnt say it's a "DDoS attack" I said it's a "DDoS". the former implies maliciousness, the latter does not.

More OCD.

I'm sorry if analogies go over your head(s), I'll keep it simpler next time.

Are you Ian or Steve?  I've not noticed two noticeably different characters.

Einstein?  Not on the cards for the pentathlon, might be another race.  If he was hoping to use it in this race, he would still be holding them.

I'm aware, he (Pecos) bunkered Einstein before the projects were announced. that's the point. with the hopes that Einstein would be one of the projects in the event. but it wasn't and he dumped them since there's no point to hold longer. the start date of the event was known for a while, but the projects were not. so one had the opportunity to speculativelybunker on projects with long enough deadlines. he all but admitted to it on the pentathlon website chat.

But we don't know all 5 projects yet.  If Einstein ends up on it he'll kick himself.

The top guy in the team is actually Polish.

top on the Universe TSBT in all total points, RAC, and daily numbers (since we are talking about Universe and the impact to that project) is PecosRiverM, American. who came to TSBT from the XtremeSystems "fake" team. If he's ethnically Polish, that's not really relevant. there are lots of Polish Americans. 

I was going by all time points in everything, here: https://www.boincstats.com/stats/-5/user/list/0/0/115657/0
Perhaps that one's a GPU guy.

And ethnically is very relevant.  If I moved to Africa I wouldn't call myself an African.

The project is overloaded?  I hadn't noticed.  Einstein has always run smoothly for me.  Now Milkyway you could help.

Maybe, it would depend on the security Robert Jones was willing to give to the Einstein, or MIlkyWay or other Project, he's willing to loan the storage space too, Scientists re picky about who can see their data and having a way to track it themselves from point a to point b to point c etc or there is a chance it can be corrupted. It would also depend on the speed of the connection between Robert Jones and the projects, dial-up speed isn't worth it. In the long run it might just be easier for Robert Jones to offer to donate a drive or 2 or 3 to a project and see if they can use it to make things better.

Given the strain that

Given the strain that Einstein@Home, Universe@Home, and PrimeGrid are all experiencing due to the Pentathlon contest (lack of tasks for my systems to process and/or inability to upload results) I decided to follow Keith's lead (I read it someplace in another thread and/or another BOINC project website).

I have turned on GPUGRID on both my GPU crunchers and CPU crunchers.  On the GPU cruncher, I have limited GPUGRID to one task at a time.  And GPU only.

For MilkyWay@Home I created a profile for Nvidia gpu's only and set that up on both systems.  I also re-enabled TN-Grid on my CPU cruncher.
