Project of the month July 2014.
 
In June, I was elected the Cruncher of the month... Sigh
The team decided to let the Cruncher of the month to pick a Project of the month. The month was July.
The Project I picked was Skynet POGS.
POGS offer nice WU's that fit most. On fastest CPU's they go at prox 2hrs, and up to 4 hrs on slow ones.
1:50 on a 4960X and 4:00 on an old Pentium. I got the range lol
No need for HT off here, and they run pritty cool, so OC at Your likings.
 
Also, POGS hand out the coolest trophy's around, so I expect a huge trophy shower on us the Next days.

You will see your proud name among the other challengers right away.
 
In the Challengers list, you will see two unknown names:
CR62, and Joe'Joe90'Dempsey.
Those are two awsome crunchers I met at the ongoing pogs Challenge. Nice polite guy's that I wanted to get to know us better.
Joe is the breather on my neck on the ongoing Challenge. Also, he has signed up to this forum to take a look see(Skippy Joe). Poor him.. He's on no team.... yet He shpild let us take care of him
CR62 is the host of the ongoing Challenge, and a member of SETI.Germany (Never heard of them) He's a great and dedicated cruncher, so we have good Company.
 
Ok, Project of the month is about to happen. I'm exited to see how this first POTM goes and if we will make another when NeXT Cruncher of the month is elected.
Next time it may be YOU...
I hope to see you all, and even more....
Crunch hard ppl, and let the mighty trophy's of POG's reign upon you
 
Oh, btw, there is another Challenge going on at pogs in july, a RAC Challenge (Recent Average Credits) Why not sign up on that one too.
The ultimate price is this one, the Voyager1

Looking forward to see you, and good luck

Just joined. 

Thanks for signing up Tucker.
Pogs are quite generous With trophy's the first day's. They will decorate Your sig pritty nicely

Jumping on the wagon.
 
Edit,
Oh yea got a trophyalready
You have been awarded a new trophy, Protostar

I will be switching a system over in a few days. In the mean time I have a project or two I want to get to a personal goal while I can.

It's been awhile for me to go full out in a race.
29 trophies already, now I just want more.
Started another 40 cores and signed up for June and July challenges.

Greetings !!
In less than 20 hours, EVGA's first "Project of the Month" will be launched, and I'm honored to be Your host.
For the record, I think one Whole month is a long time, but then again, I look at it as a "If-you-have-nothing-better-to-do" Project.
I don't like to pull ppl away from their personal goals within causes meaning much to you. This is intended to be like.... Please join if you want. The cause is within science, some preferrs Medical, no strings Attached, no hard feelings if not attending.
Oh, btw... Pogs is within both Formula Boinc, and the Vault, and it just so happened.... we grabbed two point in Formula today
Great job to all who have done Pogs lately. Grabbing another two Points should be within range if we pull hard.
 
For those who intend to participate, time to get ready.
The minute the Challenge is within it's time, credits will begin to Count, so just start. (Feel free to bunker lol)
Also, POGS have another Challenge going together With Ours, a RAC Challenge.
For those who intend to take home this Challenge too, start crunch ASAP, POGS RAC's build slowly up over time, no need to start at Zero.
We have guest's, and I intend to invite more. I hope to get a couple of good crunchers over. Atleast one of them has serious firepower, His name at Our forum is Skippy Joe and he's a great guy.
CR62 is the ongoing June challengs's host, and a great guy too.
 
If I seem slow on replying during this Challenge, it's because I'm on vacation, AND I have another day rythm than most on this forum. However, I have my cellphone and my lap, so when I get the opportunity, I'll be all over you.
 
As we have seen, POGS offer the coolest badges, and lit's of them. However, as you rank up, they get more unike and rare.
I'd like you to take home some cool ones to Our Club house.
After the Pentathlon, EVGA was ranked 46 at Skynet, today we are at 38!!!
So thanks again to those who have crunched POGS.
 
So, good People... Shall we do this POGS thing?
CRUNCH HARD MY FRIENDS
 
 
 

Poised and ready....

whoo hoo, this is honestly one of my favorites!! they have done great things with the website and offer up the cruncher lots of neat stuff. I'm runnin already on 32 cores and may try to dig up an old puter just for giggles.

Signed up. I will be bringing over my 2P non -bigadv and various other CPU's. I am expecting between 16 and 20 cores at any given time. Lets map some galaxies.

It puzzles me that they don't have gpu work. Are they planning on implementing it? Or is it just not the right type of work for this kind of project?

They are working on it as we speak

Hey Orange, I see you picked kind of an odd start time for your POTM challenge.  Just curious what made you pick 10:05 UTC?

As far as projects go, pogs is relatively young, still....

I made the announcement over at the POGS forums letting them know we are on the way over to crunch up all their WU's.

Thanks Khali.

@orange
Nice forum. See you on POGS-challenge.
CR62

Hey there CR, thanks for stopping by. I'm sure you will like it here. Our folks are very helpful and they have great knowledge about all aspects of crunching.
Yeah, cyah on the POGS Challenge.

@tucker147
where can I get this awesome POGS-signature?
Thanks.

http://signature.statseb.fr
Use the "BETA URL for signature with rotating badge description" under Customize your signature
The Beta one show each Badge and what the are for like mine.
Also check the settings under Actions - Modify - Formatting
 

Just for giggles I thought I might treat this as a Point Pillaging run and track our progress.
 
The Skynet POGS standings:
 
Free DC: 27 (22,239,228 points)
Formula Boinc: 5 (21,222,318 points for the year, 10 FB points)
The Vault: 16 (9,513.11 Vault points)
 
Keep in mind this did not occur to me until most of July 1st had passed by. So, I missed what the standings were at midnight on the 1st.
