At last! All NanoHive pending credits are done! :thumbsup:
Final credits: 126,822.87! :)

Please let me know when your pending credits are done and I'll compile the final TAS's stats on this project. :D

Heyo FMC, you and the missus are missusing from DPAD for the last day? Step away from the Guild Wars terminal. LD

As no new projects popped up in the "DC scene" in the last month, there isn't really much to suggest to add to the list. Orbit@Home would be cool, but they only got funding now, so they're still far away from beta and actual work.

We only have to think about when we actually want to allow old projects to the list again. I mean, do we really want to crunch every single project out there at least once or do we want to allow already crunched ones back on the list after like a year or so.

:)

I would prefer to have TAS work on projects based on a few simple criteria:

1) The project really needs help to achive a TA goal, objective or retain a position.
2) TAS can have a major impact, i.e. make the difference in a month (or so) time. This requires that clients are available for most TAS computing platforms.
3) TAS members agree the project is TAS-worthy. :)

If I had my druthers, I'd keep chasing (and passing soon) Free-DC for a bit longer though I'm sure BOINC misses me. With the exception of one box 4 thousand miles away, I've been 100% DPAD since Feb. 17th.

BMC, are you attempting to place Assimilator1 in place as a buffer in DPAD? :D

How about a math project? Like ABC@Home, SZTAKI, or RCN?

Science doesn't happen without mathematics.

If you can REALLY show me that the math project is not just for the sake of math (like finding the largest prime) and that the math used actually CAN/WILL have some real life meaning (which a large prime does not) I'd be happy to also do some math projects. But be warned, so far no one was able to convince me to do math.
