Milksop is right in about everything.

The creditlimit is pure nonsense. But not funny at all.


Regarding the amount of given credit:

The credits per second are way too high.

Take Primegrid as a measure, than you have a very good but not exorbitant "paying" project to compare.

Do it at best yesterday! Not somewhen in some unknown future.

If you want to be part of the boinc community you have to compare with the other projects. This needs not be SETI but you should be anywhere in the scope of the other boinc projects.

This is so simple a fact that I really cannot understand why this hasn't already been done.

And regarding the question what to compare with what. This is simple too. Milksop application is not an optimized one. His would be the standard level. The former application is an uncomparable heap of unnecessary calculations not to be compared to anything.
Optimized would mean to further integrate various instruction sets and so on. But according to what milksop wrote what he did, his appl. is a great achievement compared to the former ..., but in no way "optimized", compared to what degree of optimization there is in for example the seti appl..

I think you could've sent this as a private message to the admins and not posted it on the forum since it doesn't involve anyone except your group. That being said I'm sorry to see you leaving. However, from what I can gather, you are displeased that there is a better application out there and dislike that the credit level is more than average. I think those are both positive things and can not justify your reasoning. Please elaborate on it so I can better understand.

Why be part of the solution when adding to the problem is far more entertaining? Because it's easier to complain, stomp your feet, then walk out the door than it is to be helpful and productive.
