Yep they do very in time on the GPUs, or maybe it found an Amicable Pair.

With no Bunkers our Team would be in the lead. Seti.USA Only is winning because they are heavy into Bunkering. Notices the nice smooth Line EVGA has compared to the other teams.  We are the Black Line and hold the lead.

I don't really approve of bunkering and think it shouldn't be allowed. On the other hand, if it is allowed by the rules then really they are just putting in that extra effort to come out on top. Nothing was preventing us from doing the same thing. Either way, another great effort by our team!

I wish we would not make bunkering a moral issue. 90% of all the contests allow it because they can't stop it. Only projects that run their own contests can stop it and most of them don't. We'll never do well in a bunker contest until our team grows the number of members participating in them and then plan for it and that's not really the way we do it around here. The team was started with a pressure free attitude and we should keep it that way. Having said that, I read about this contest 7 hours before the start and that's when I moved some of my rigs over. 7 hours of bunkering that wouldn't upload at the start because of all the bunkering. The idea that over bunkering can stress and or break the servers is nuts, but that is a real issue. Just some random thoughts over a cup of joe on a Sunday morning. Crunch on!

This Project changed the Rules Solely to allow users to Bunker more. The first team challenge starts on March 1st, so I've temporarily increased task-in-progress limits: it's 4 tasks per CPU core + 100 tasks per GPU now. You can use the time left before the challenge to bunker more tasks. But from this day forward I will not speak of Bunkering anymore.
