It is good to be appreciated. I know that badge hunters, especially, like to know when a project is likely to finish so that they can plan their crunching strategies. However, we haven't been advised as to the size of future targets so will be unable to estimate targets. I will continue the spreadsheet but without the target date. That can be reinstated when information is available. We are currently completing 1000 batches about every 5 days. Is that the best frequency of ongoing reporting or should we start to report every 5000? Meanwhile, I am about to reach 10 years on OPN1, so will concentrate on getting ARP1, MIP1 (and SCC1 when it returns) up to 5 years plus MCM1 to 20 years. I will keep OPN1 and HST1 on tickover pending those goals. All the projects are worthy but I like to set goals and see them being achieved as often as possible. Anyone wanting a spreadsheet to monitor and forecast badges only has to ask me. My spreadsheet has badges allocated up to 2000 years which is well beyond the current WCG badges and much further than I will ever achieve. I just enjoy writing spreadsheets! Happy crunching. Mike that's actually a very good question. Changing the increment tracked would only be useful if we're certain that the current rate is maintained, or continues to hasten, imo. So there's a few options from my perspective: wait until the increment between reporting falls below a certain level (4 days, 3 days?) or it remains 5 days for an extended period of time? A month? Or waiting till the first target is achieved, and thereby creating a new chart + a new increment makes sense then? We're very well approaching the finish line for the first target - assuming it will be exactly 50k, ofc - but leaving things as they are for now makes sense  [Edit 1 times, last edit by yoerik at May 12, 2021 4:37:48 PM] |

I was thinking about after 50000 which was supposed to be the end of the first target. However, I would like to hear the opinion of ThreadRipper who has been producing the charts and some more of the data contributors.
After 50,000 we don't have any information as to number of targets or the size that they are likely to be. It would be nice if Uplinger or another WCG staff member could give us some idea, please. |
