You should really look at the current throughput of the projects with a standardised credit claiming scheme, Seti, Einstein, cpdn, rosetta, wcg ... etc. and ignoring thoose that do not, e.g. QMC, Xtremlab, ... just my opinion.

Whether it's a correct measurement or not, increasing of credits always means that there is an activity of BOINC. The graph shows that the team has the continuous activity for around 2 years. The milestone itself is great one, isn't it? ID: 32693 · Rating: 1 · rate: / Reply Quote

I know what it is, but since it doesn't mean anything I do not believe it is a great milstone, since it's meaningless when it's not a real comparative measure. A better milstone is like I said, taking the current throughput from the projects from the compbined 'known good credits projects. Once that reaches a milestone it is a meaningful measure. Of course when that reaches 20,000 million /day (or even per year) now that would be something to chear about. Team mauisun.org ID: 32695 · Rating: -1 · rate: / Reply Quote
