The client calibrated specially for WCG may work.

Awarding a fixed number of credits, which means that granting credits depend not on time/resourse used to crunch a WU but on the amount of work actually done, may also work. This absolutely gives the credits which aren't inflated.

However, this can eliminate the interchangeability of credits granted by each project. For example, please imagine this situation: while a project A would give a host 50 credits with crunching for 10 hours, another one B would award the host 100 credits (twice!) with crunching for the same length of hours. So, what would it cause? IMHO those who crunches with interest of the science would continue working on A at the same level, but others, especially hard competitiors, would switch projects A from B, or change the share lower. This would slowdown the process of the project... It's just imaginary of mine, but it can happen anyway. If the fixed credits system would be introduced, one of the important issues that should be solved is to keep the interchangeability as much as possible.

Thanks Ady,

This team crunches[whatever their current project] with intensity that will be unrivaled. It has a group of concerned dedicated people that are not afraid to "put up" the resources required to accomplish the tasks required.

I am currently placing 28 devices[with 34 core] on this project funded and maintained by my self, as a means to give back to humanity.[expensive].

I personally don't care about "points" but they are what drives the system, and find it odd that someone would broach a "points query" in a thread to boost team moral.

Hi Patty, my friend. You've been at it way too long for us to have passed you yet. BBT is another small team that packs a punch that belies its size. So it will be a while. But we're working on it... :)

Fear? Inspired!!!! Back at the ranch, we get airborn over cracking 80WUs! At just shy of the 2000 WUs a day you lot kick out,
I feel a cat moment coming on.

Me neither, before my time. I do know that they are a great bunch of guys with obvious integrity who are leaders of a community that help those dedicated to getting the most out of their systems. As such, they are very influential with those who have the most computing power to spare and are currently working very hard to use that influence to attract people to wcg's cause.

This is how I joined. Xtremesystems is simply the best resource for navigating the bleeding edge of personal computing. While there to learn how to get the most out of c2d, I came across their crunching "solicitation" sigs and wanted to throw in with them as appreciation for all the help I've received at XS and do a good thing at the same time.

Not sure about Crunch3r, but see that it is recommended by Boinc/TruXoft here.
