The new credits are showing as 4.06 per W/U (300seconds) on my quads. haha don't tell us we're the highest please. we don't want our management getting ideas of lowering it again. Dave Przybylo MilkyWay@home Developer Department of Computer Science Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute |

Nope you aren't, but with the high turn over you need on the work you should be near the top to churn them like the project requires. |

Way too much- Sad that the credit sharks have taken over the voice here, look on the sign up dates from the biggest complainers and wonder: they all came after the Application improvement made in early march. After ive forced myself reading through that first, now locked credit discussion thread (If I wouldnt had to run 2 long mysql backups right now, i probably would have never going through all that stupidity in that thread. ) - Im shocked on what kind of people the high credits have attracted now, some even use abusive language to get what they want. /signing off |

Imho, its too much... Thats life... I can live with that. :) Who am I to complain about people that are complaining about too little credits here. Just because my calculator keeps telling me that Milkyway is granting 50% more credits than ABC or Cosmo (with 4 cr. per wu), I do know nonetheless that it is the project admins decision how much credits are granted. If I dont like the decision, i have to go somewhere else. If I dont believe the guys that say that Milkyway isnt granting more than the other high credit projects (which can be easily checked), its still MY problem. If I think that those people are talking rubbish who are saying that increasing the credits again saved this project, exactly: Still MY problem...
Now you're saying that most people were wrong...
;) thats what i'm doing... Well, thanks to 6.5 cr., I was able to reach my personal project milestone of 10k in no time. Funny that the last wu I needed to reach 10k was one with "only" 2.17 cr. At other projects I am doing 3x the ((scientific)) work for 10k. Well, now I can focus on other projects again, like WCG atm, where I can do exactly that... My NEW BOINC-Site Why people joined BOINC Synergy... Crunch fair! |

Granting more credits lets crunchers be happier, which means the works of the project crunched more, which lets the project team be happier. It's simply a win-win game. thanks, suguruhirahara |

At the moment RS and Cosmo are much higher than that.... At the moment RS is granting on average 32% more credit than MW on my 3 hosts. The 5.64 app runs twice as fast as before and still gives 27 credit. DA must be apoplectic ;) Al. |

Thank you Dave and Travis, I've got some new wu granted with 4.06, which is in my opinion a fair amount in the middle. Though the science and not credits should be the important target for crunching, it's a additional motivation (which sometimes is needed too, e.g. thinking of the electric bill ;)) so in my opinion a fair amount of credits should be given! on the other hand .. everytime there will be some people complaining about too little or to much credits granted, while it's depending on the machine the app's run and how good it's fitting and optimized on this. It may be, a application running on an old Sempron gets more credits in relation to the cpu-velocity as on a new Xeon, - with different Project application contrawise. |

At other projects I am doing 3x the ((scientific)) work for 10k.. Really? How on earth do you know that? How do you compare work done "determining the evolution of the Milkyway galaxy", to work done looking for a cure for aids? How can you say that one does more or less scientific work? I believe that you can only compare the amount of work done *within* a project. And with these new, faster/optimized apps, we are doing *more* scientific work at MilkyWay per second. It seems to me that is something you should be applauding, not running from. |

At other projects I am doing 3x the ((scientific)) work for 10k.. Well said zombie.....I have noticed that people who boycott projects they perceive with too high of credits many times say they are in it for the science....they want it both ways.... at least people saying they are doing it for the credits are being honest with themselves and others. I beleive this project took the right approach finally ....and that is let the crunchers decide what is fair by general concensus. |

At other projects I am doing 3x the ((scientific)) work for 10k.. I know Zombie, thats why I put "scientific" in (TWO) brackets. Sorry, you got me wrong. I could also say, that my host needs to run 3x the time at other projects for the same amount of credits, and I'm still happy with it. It *FEELS* like my host is doing more work. (((With quite a few low credit projects I'm supporting I could be just as proud with my combined 430k like a Milkyway@home user with 1million credits.))) I know very well that the work cant be compared among different projects ((just like the credits)). Noone is entitled to say that one second for WCG is better than one second crunched for Milkyway. And yes, I do think that Milkyways project admins are doing great work, optimizing apps, communicating with us volunteers, ... - A+ Just wanted to make a point, that there are even people willing to help without credits above average (there are also a few projects I would support without any credits) - contrary to the people who posted "Byebye" right after the granted credits had been decreased. In MY opinion such BEHAVIOUR is poor. [Edited] Cheers, Shai! PS: Enough about credits from me here. Its the admins decision, they know whats good for their project. I'm glad having contributed 10k. Doing my 50k milestone at WCG now... My NEW BOINC-Site Why people joined BOINC Synergy... Crunch fair! |

No that is not poor. That is free choice. You have the right to support whatever project you want according to your own wishes and desires. We have that right as well. If I do not like the way a project is being run I have the right to say bye and move my crunchers to another project. They are, after all, my crunchers. I prefer to have a dialog with the project admins first, but that is by my choice. Those who posted bye and left were also exercising their right to do so. I do not think any less of them for doing so and are appalled that you do. |

You're right Sarge! Its simply MY opinion that such BEHAVIOUR is poor. Better? Now I'm really off... ;) Best, Shai! My NEW BOINC-Site Why people joined BOINC Synergy... Crunch fair! |

Well look @ the Bright Side of it SG, now you'll be able to devote more of your time Crusading @ some of the other Projects that in your Opinion give out to much Credit ... :) |
