Title: It's gettin' harder every day ...
Post by: veebee on December 17, 2009, 09:52:46 PM
.... to "do any good" in BOINC, in terms of earning enough to "climb" the ladder.

2 years ago, 20K a day was GREAT ! and saw you flying up the charts...

a year ago.that 20 K would still se you climb, but maybe a bit slower...

NOW .... I'm getting anywhere from 70 K to 90 K a day (on average) and I'm lucky if I stay STILL !

Veebs,

In economics it is called "The Law of Diminishing Returns".

Heh, diminishing is right!  But you can still do good in BOINC with 20k (and less) a day.  I'm on about 8k a day at the moment but pushing through WCG, CPDN, Einstein, etc.  I hope Aqua will pick me up a little, as my overall RAC was inside the world top 2000 with those big WUs but I'm currently well outside that.

When you get to the lofty altitudes, veebee, you need a Lear Jet budget to stay there!  biggrin
