BOINC Games 2025 (Sprints)

[TennesseeTony]

Congrats to J. for half-heartedly winning the first Sprint. Holding back on us, I suspect.

Stefan, what the heck man!? You came out of nowhere and started riding my posterior!

Thanks @Skillz , for the event.

Nice job team.

Ken and Kiska do more work on BG than I do. Mostly because they know what they're doing and I don't. Haha

Stefan, what the heck man!?

I had some catching up to do, after I missed the first two days…

I may have some, um, skillz that you don't, but you deserve all the credit for putting the whole thing together in the first place!

Big congrats to J.—sneaky but solid win! Stefan’s surprise charge was wild. Great event, Skillz!

The current sprint (2nd of 6 in the 2025 season) is held at NFS@home: team stats, individual stats

(Meanwhile, the next PrimeGrid challenge starts in less than six hours...)

 

[Skillz]

We're getting our butts kicked.

 

[Orange Kid]

Just a slow start. We will get there.

 

[Ken g6]

Another sprint starts in one hour. I'm hoping it's a CPU project, considering PrimeGrid has a GPU project in less than two days, but when I look at the list of potential sprints, chances are it will be a GPU project.

 

[Ken g6]

I guessed right. It's Einstein. I figured, what's the worst-case project that needs the longest time to double-check, and that's it. (I forgot about Minecraft.)

 

[StefanR5R]

chances are it will be a GPU project.

It's Einstein@Home.

Edit: Considering the typical "validation lag" at E@H, it occurs to me that that the third day of the sprint won't be as productive (in terms of sprint credits) as the first two days anyway.

...if the sprint project is Einstein@Home, is what you meant to say, right? ;-)

 

[Skillz]

Hey @Rattledagger you should sign up for BOINCGames.com.

 

[StefanR5R]

Current sprint: Minecraft@home

*** Note: *** Only U-20 members are qualified to take part in this one. ;-)

Update: This sprint was cancelled. :-O

 

[Skillz]

Well the sprint might be back now. Seems my own server was blocking the Minecraft@home servers after the sprint started. The new firewall I setup on the server worked too good in this case. Not only did it bypass the "temp ban" table that I initially looked at. Oh no. It moved that thing straight to the permanent ban table which I did not check at first. Sprint is resumed. Just a tad late.

 

[Ken g6]

I also had to bribe their server with a cookie to get them to give us stats. See Discord for details.

We may need a TeAm, or whomever 4th quarter tush push challenge in individual team points in BoincGames? LIke some brag for several different categories, like overall, most improved and whatever for BoincGames?

What you all thank?....

Maybe call it the "Anand_Run"... (Think Kessel Run")... for the whatever last time...

 

[Ken g6]

The next sprint appears to be SRBase. Let's go!
