Hi
If you read the Project information you will see that this project requires a sensor to run it. d_worms is the only member at this time that is participating in this project. He has acquired four sensors from BOINC@POLAND that he will give to the four winners as follows: Only nominate you name if you can run the project
continually Regularly. I believe that it is one of those projects that rarely uses the CPU.
From d_worms
QuoteI'm planing on running a one week competition on Rosetta@Home which will start 01/11/2012 at 00:00 UTC . The the top four participants with the highest credits after this week will receive a radioactive@home sensor kindly donated by boinc@poland team members. Members that are interested please give your names on this post. Nominations will cease at 31/10/2012 at 00:00 UTC.

Dingo will run the competition for me and will give daily statistics etc.
d_worms has been good enough to give me a sensor and for that I am very thankful. Good luck and happy crunching.
Can I ask how Rosetta was picked? Hmmm let me see i'm in 460th position in the team in Rosetta. (my worst)
Woo Hoo I'm a shoe in...
Rosetta was picked by d_worms. The credits over the week are only counted not what was there before the week started so anyone has a chance.
My mistake, as penance I will pull 3 nose hairs from the inside of my left nostril and not shed one tear. (I hope) :worship
Bad jugnut, bad, bad
Good luck Lads :penguin:

Don't worry JugNut I had exactly the same problem when I was talking with Dingo first 4 or top 4 Bashhead
I thought that a chance for a free sensor would go fast. Must be wrong no takers yet :hbang:
I would have but I don't run my laptop full time and I don't need any extra Rosetta points for a while. :cry2:
What about that JugNut bloke?? I'm sure he'd luv too have one. biggrin
EDIT: Just in case my sense of humour is not quite up to scratch (no chance of that). YES I would like a chance at getting one of the device's, if that's cool with d_worms that is?

Looking at the way the work units run just like other BOINC Tasks I guess you do not have to have the PC on continually, just regularly.

Well, you do have a taker if D_worms consider that I should have one. Up to now, I just did not have the extra cash or inclination to purchase one since it cost money that I am kind of short. D-Worms what you need from me to get one of those things? Mind you, I am kind of untrustworthy of Aust Post in view that LawryB sent me an AMD GPU that appeared to be not delivered to me yet we were both home on the day concerned or it was stolen by some one as it was in open view of the front porch so anybody going past must have thought there is a free gift waiting for them.
Not much interest hmmm :cry2:
Com on aussie come on..... :cheer1: it is only 1 week competition
I'll give it a go! I didn't see this post earlier. So I've just re-attached to Rosetta - it's been a while since my last Rosetta-crunching :cheer1:
I'm tempted although do have two questions - do the sensors need to be put anywhere in particular (inside, near window / external wall, etc?) and do they need external power to the USB port?

I have mine in my computer room next to the computer. They use a USB port and the cable is about a metre long so near the computer is where it goes.
You can put it where ever u like even outside (mind that the sensor is not waterproof)
You can use USB extension cable it has to be good quality extension cable
Last Chance to Sign Up for the competition
I'm planing on running a one week competition on Rosetta@Home which will start 01/11/2012 at 00:00 UTC . The the top four participants with the highest credits after this week will receive a radioactive@home sensor kindly donated by boinc@poland team members. Members that are interested please give your names on this post. Nominations will cease at 31/10/2012 at 00:00 UTC.

Dingo will run the competition for me and will give daily statistics etc.
I'll be in it... biggrin
You can count me in.
Sure, Rosetta is one of my favorite projects ;D
Ok... I'll tentatively throw my name in the ring too - it's been a little while since I last crunched there :)
At 11 am tomorrow my time the nominations close.
At 11 am 01 Nov 12 I will go to BOINCSTATS and that will be the start point for the credits for each user. Each day at around 11 am I will publish the stats for the members that are in the challenge. At 11 am on the 08 Nov 12 the final credits will be taken I will let d_worms know who the winners are. He will then contact you for delivery details.
If anyone has any major objections now is the time to put in your 2 cents worth, not at the end.
Crunch on v:
Maybe a list of eligible participating nominee's so there's no confusion & bruised feelings at the end.

Well just to throw one last wrench in the works (at least for me) It seems the gods don't have a radioactive@home sensor plan for me. At the moment i'm down one machine. My main work horse has thrown a shoe. I decided to try out some rossetta's (mini's) & checked my results a few hours later & the afore mentioned workhorse has nothing but "client errors". After a frantic night of going through the usual suspects, you know re -starting Boinc, checking this & that multiple re-boots, de-attaching re-attaching rossetta &.. bubkiss, zilch, nada, nothin.
Any thoughts guys? It's got to be specific to that machine but what? I have a post at rosetta but it seems there admins are few & far between these days with lots of people with errors there & not much help. But none quite like mine so i'm guessing it's just something on my end.
So unless one of my genius boinc team mates has a good idea then, well... :cry2:
I'll try one last reset but I don't like my chances. I bet it's something simple starring me in the face but for the life of me I cant figure out what.
Oh & good luck to all for tomorrow.. ..JN..
Not you mate, The new I7s have this problem or so says the dude who answered your post.
Take note of all the other errors being reported. Looks like Baker Labs has a lot of work to do.
Useless thought of the Day. Bananas are radioactive which would figure seeing I'm a lost Queenslander who eats them by the bucketload oops hand.
Thanks Lawry I hadn't seen that post yet. While I suppose it helps a tiny bit knowing others (a least 1) have the problem i'm still short a fix. Because after reading that guys post I wondered if that was indeed the case of a major boinc project not supporting newer i7's. Unfortunately it's not completely the case as I looked at the statistics page at "top computers" and there where hand full's of 3930's in the top 20's & beyond so unless it's stepping specific then it's probably not that.
Anyway the hunt continues. Crunch-on.. & oh happy Halloween :wink
Interesting. Tough luck JN - I almost went for a 3930 as well but price wasn't justifiable for me, so dropped back to the 3820. Fortunately all running fine so far.
Greetings Dingo and fellow members
Sorry but I will have to pass on this one, got a few projects running at the moment with a reasonable size cache which will take a few days to complete.
Maybe next time lol
Good luck to those who are having a go.
Regards and happy crunching

There is a very very basic spreadsheet here. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aje5lwZVzoGHdEc4Sm1GSzNiQWt6VS13dnM2TExzTEE (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aje5lwZVzoGHdEc4Sm1GSzNiQWt6VS13dnM2TExzTEE)
If anyone wants to improve on that they are welcome because I am :cry2:
I am very annoyed at the moment. :pcwhack:
I have been working on a new Virtual box of Centos6.3 making my own BOINC and radac application with a lot of help from the Project admin at radioactive@home. I have also been try to move my web page over from Centos5 to 6. BUT after more than 20 hours sitting at the PC tryin and trying and almost there the virtualbox got corrupted and I lost it all. :compbash:
EDIT. Changed the link as I am confused with this cloud stuff
Yipe! I feel your pain Dingo & thanks for the chart.
While not in the same street as Dingo, Rossetta would not relent to over 24hrs of on/off pressure from me. And since boinc wont even give me any more WU to try anything else thats, that. The admins & mods seem to have deserted Rossetta so no help there so far. So i'm down to one unstable PC for tomorrow's comp.
ahhh Boinc can be such a relaxing hobby.... :faint:
@Scott: Thanks Scott, my 3930's been a beauty up till now & I don't believe there's anything wrong with it now either, just some bad config or registry setting that's sticking around like **it to a blanket. All other crunching powers on, just no rosie on this PC. Good luck with ya new beast. Cheers ..JN..
@Dingo. Ouch. Maybe try Gibson Research Centre and see if there is anything there that can recover the lost stuff.
@JugNut. I'll try Rosetta on my 3930 sometime today. In the meantime you might be able to clean rogue entries out of your Registry with a free copy of Advanced System Care 6. The MS uninstaller does tend to leave a lot of rubbish strewn over the place.
I use the freebie Unnstaller from ASC to remove any trace of deleted programs.
Cheers

Trolling through web posts and it seems this has been going on for yonks and may have started with version 7 of BOINC. Everything has been blamed from cold coffee to global warming so its bye bye Rosie from me.
To quote you and Malcolm Frazer "Life wasn't meant to be Rosie"
Good luck mate.
Good on ya Lawry & thanks very much for trying, it's truly appreciated. Your right mate life wasn't meant to be rosie,(easy) but wasn't meant to be bloody impossible either.
A mod finally answered today, saying that my problem seemed the same as a huge pile of others & that reverting to version 6 of boinc could fix the problem. The problem with that is going back down to version 6 from version 7 requires special steps & can have many problems. I remember there's a guide somewhere. Apart from that i'm pretty sure DistrRTgen, POEM & others now require v7 to be installed for there GPU apps to work at all & I use them all the time. So its bye bye to Rosie from me too. The Rossetta forums are full of people with the similar problems that are not very happy.
@D_Worms: I hope you don't feel as i'm complaining about the competition as i'm most defiantly not. I have already crunched some Rossetta in the past & was about to crunch some more anyway. So I would have had the same problem with or without the competition. So thanks again for the good jesture & if the Boinc gods don't have a sensor for me then i'm totally fine with that. There's no point in being upset about what fate has in store. I will crunch Rosie with the PC I have left as thats all I can do.
Good luck to all... Bring on the games
PS If Dingo would like to move all my posts an answers to them to say Rossetta thread that would be cool by me & would leave things open for just comp talk. It's up to you.
New link as I am not used to the google cloud docs and needed to make another one: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Aje5lwZVzoGHdEc4Sm1GSzNiQWt6VS13dnM2TExzTEE
I will leave the thread as it is for reference if in future we wonder why so few took up the offer. Hard to give things away for free.
I'm up and running. Luckily I don't have any newer machines so I miss out on the fun some of you are having! But I forgot how big the project was - 1.2GB disk space just to set up and get a few WUs :faint: Better check my download quota!!
Really bad luck there JugNut, and its sad to see you won't be crunching in this little comp but at least you did try your best to get it going. I hope the project can get itself sorted out before long.
Dingo, the spreadsheet link works for me. Although are you missing a column for 2/11? I don't see it. Sorry to hear about the VM. That is a real hazard with the virtual approach and I have been burnt too, when I mistook disk files for snapshots I didn't want and deleted the whole machine :( Oh well I learned a lesson or two there :cry2:
OK. I am not quite happy taking on a new project with a sensor that seems to create a lot of problems. To star with, I do not understand anything to do with Virtual anything let alone clodes for it might produce unwanted rain.
I will stay in the competition butIi ask, can I give my price away to my choosing if I happen to win one of those prizes? :wink
WikiWill - good catch I did it when I was tired.
Cruncer Pete - The sensor will work straight out the box on a windows pc. Just plug the radiation sensor into a usb port and it will start to beep. Attach to the project and get a work unit. Change you preferences to stop the beeping on the project. On the Computer Page that you have attached place the sensor on the Map near where you live, zoom into the map so it is near you. If you do not put the sensor on the map your credit is cut in half, not that you get much anyway. There are Badges for this project but will take time to get them.
Have been a bit distracted with a sick puppy (ALWAYS the top winning ones too..).
Is this opportunity still open ?
I will be happy to steer all I have towards Rosetta if it wil help B@A to continue to be one of the "top teams" in any manner whatsoever...
will await an answer regarding switching my resources over.
I personally wouldn't say no to the sensor but I am sure that there are other people in the group that are more deserving than me.
Too late the notice has been on the board since October 25 so Bad luck, sorry but the last day was the 31 Nov for nominations.
Well it seems my race still has life left in it yet. Being the competitive type I did some lateral thinking (or maybe I wasn't thinking at all). I overclocked my unstable rig to record levels. But instead of bringing to it's knee's like you'd expect it's now more stable, it seems it likes the extra voltage & loose memory timmings a lot. Sure I could cook an egg on the side panel & the fans are screaming at near 100% levels but it's chewing Rossetta's like there's no tomorrow. :yahoo:
Add that to the fact that I ended up getting credit for all the failed work units I did on the other PC. Why? Well it seems that application error's are classed as well the applications fault & not my PC's so 24hrs later you get the credit you would have got.(a least that's my understanding of it). So if my luck holds out and my PC doesn't spontaneously combust I may still be in the running. Who knew boinc could be so exciting? biggrin
Send some of that heat over here JN.
My central heating systems playing up and the temp outside only got to 6.5 degrees today.
Hope your computer all hangs together for the duration Best wishes Mike.
hmmm, maybe against competition rules, but seeing as I can no longer competer "for myself", I wonder would it be kosher to assign my rigs to someone elses accounts for the period of the "race"...?
OK I forgot to put a post for the stats Yesterday. The stats for yesterday and today are below. Tight race on day two between Scott T and Tin Man, Jugnut just slowed down a bit and was pipped at the post with 2941.62. The overall leader Cruncher Pete is way out in front at this stage.

Hi Dingo. I have a question regarding box Q on your spreadsheet.
Should this not show the total of the daily points earned?
At the moment it shows the overall total of points in the project at the end of each day.
Want the final result to be fair and correct after all
Regards Mike.
It shows the sum of the daily total which is the credits the competitors will generate over the seven days. So it is adding up D,F,H,J,L,N and P to arrive at the total in Q. :cheers:
:thumbsup:
OK now that the maths are right. All overall positions except first place are still hotly contested.

I didnt realise there were FOUR prizes...I thought there was only "first place" getting a sensor, and knowing CP's output...
I put out a hair under 90,000 for those 7 days, and that was with SIMAP running as well...
I think I did ask..cant see it though, why couldnt I go in it ?
Wowee, a win! (for a change). Thanks Dingo and d_worms! :cheer1:
Thanks all :cheers: Winners congratulations v: PM me your details. Pick up available Sydney Homebush West.
Hey how accurate are peoples locations on the sensor map? I just noticed that you can zoom right into street level and some people hide there names.
http://radioactiveathome.org/map/
You have to place marker on the map by yourself so its up to you how accurate it will be.
ah, ok thanks, that makes sense. :thumbsup:

If you read the first post it says four sensors and it also gives the deadline that you missed. Sorry but rules is rules and I had to be fair to the ones that did get there name in on time.

yes, found it afterwards, your right.
Congratz guys.....
PS - might have to look at setting up an email system to let everyone know of things like that, or put them all in a special topic and those interested make sure they subscribe to it..that way we'll get notified anytime ANYTHING gets posted ..
Great idea veebee.
Thank you Dingo for runing the competition, statistics :thanks1: :worship
+1 Aussie karma for participating in my competition for:
Dingo
JugNut
Mike Mitchell
Cruncher Pete
WikiWill
Scott T
Tin Man
Sean
:rocks
I will send all sensors on monday !!! :coolgleam:
Woo hoo indeed :cheer1:
I thought I didn't have a chance with one PC out & the other one playing up. As you may have guessed my crazy overclocking plan to make up for my downed 2nd PC didn't quite go to plan.
But even after up to 6 crash's a day I still got up. (just) I'll now take the poor girl apart and see if I can't fix her once & for all. She started my crunching career & I owe her some TLC.
Thanks d_worms & also dingo for the comp :thumbsup:
:thanks1:
Sorry to those who wanted one but missed out. Maybe next time?

To be honest I wasn't worried about winning too much. Having finished uni for the year I finally have time to attempt to build my own, emphases on 'attempt'. ;D
Congratulations to Cruncher Pete, WikiWill, Scott T and JugNut. Also thanks to Dworms and Dingo for running the competition.
Sorry guys they closed post office right in front of me at 4:55 :angry:

@d_worms: No problems mate. :thumbsup:
Oh & how goes the Asus gtx 680?
@Sean: When does the "attempt" at building your own pooter begin mate? err what kind? ect, ect..
All sensors are on the way :wiggle: so you can expect your detectors in next couple of days. :thumbsup:

@Sean: When does the "attempt" at building your own pooter begin mate? err what kind? ect, ect..
My Asus gtx 680 is already crunching GPU grid for 12 days 2.2m points, in my old Q6600. Today I have ordered new CPU I7 3930K, Motherboard P9X79 Deluxe, Memory G.Skill DDR3-2133 16GB Quad Channel and SSD SSD 256GB 830 Series. ETA 19 Nov.
The Card is great for gaming. The Witcher 2 on full details works perfectly, that's the only one i tried so far. :greet
There's some quality parts there d_worms. Very nice indeed. :thumbsup: And good crunching at GPU-grid also.
And may I suggest POEM after you've had your fill with GPU grid. I have GTX 670 (Palit GeForce GTX 670 Jetstream) that is crunching POEM like there's no tomorrow, so your's should do at least the same or by rights even better. You may need an app_info.xml file to maximise your crunching but that's shouldn't be to much problem if your willing to fiddle a bit. Try it first though you may not even need one at all. Just ask for help if you need it & one of the guys or me should be able to hook you up. Or if you would like POEM forum's are full of example's & info to look at.
POEM is just one suggestion of course, give the ones you like a crack & tell us how the 680 went. I've been interested to see what could do.
If you can, hang on to the Q6600, it can help push your total during AA's & the like.
Good luck with your new toys DW. I have a very similar system to you so I know your in for a treat.
All the best ..JN..
PS Thanks again for the sensor.
PSS What did you think of the Witcher 2 game?

@Sean: When does the "attempt" at building your own pooter begin mate? err what kind? ect, ect..
Wow you have a good memory! ;D
It has already begun, I even had it running for a week or so. However I had a second hand GTX460 in it and I found that it reached 100C almost immediately under load. The place I bought it from were great and refunded it so I'm now on the lookout for a new GPU.
Other parts are CPU Q6600, Asus P5Q motherboard, ram and case were all donated by/bought from Lionel. :thumbsup:
Sensor arrived! Woohoo! Thanks d_worms! And now to work out what the eff to do with it :rofl:
Okay, getting there. So can you turn that beeping off? The setting for it on the project page has no effect. It's driving the cats nutty Bashhead

I add my thanks as well. All set up and running. Just on the side line, I noticed your Polish Name from the Postal Package. You would not guess mine but I was born in your neighbouring country of Hungary.
It's a small world eh? My grandmother was Polish too :)
Mine arrive too. Up & running & on the map.. Wooo Hooo :cheers: Err at least I think so anyway?
Thanks d_worms :worship

Ok... I was away from work both Friday and today, but given I had 4 packages arrive today + apparently the sensor on Friday I zipped in briefly (unrelated: new phone!) just unwrapped and should have it up and running shortly :)
