Gridcoin and the 8th BOINC Pentathlon (May 5-19): we need you
We're participating in the 8th BOINC Pentathlon by SETI.Germany (starts on May 5, and goes over 2 weeks).
- See here for all the signed up BOINC teams.
- FAQ
- Here's a summary of last year's Pentathlon (we were #7 from 33 teams)
Each team can now provide desired BOINC projects for the disciplines (see here) until April 27:
- we can suggest 3 BOINC projects (see I.) and one World Community Grid subproject (see II.).
There exists now 4 polls how to decide which projects to chose
The mentioned 3 separate polls in the above poll are these:
- Which GPU project do you want to crunch in the 8th BOINC Pentathlon? (April 19)
- Which CPU project do you want to crunch in the 8th BOINC Pentathlon? (April 19)
- Which World Community Grid subproject do you want to crunch in the 8th BOINC Pentathlon? (April 19)

c.) "excluded" by Erkan:
- Enigma@Home (this poll and not having any WUs since March 23 indicates it will be removed from whitelist, and likely from the Pentathlon)
- not whitelisted: DENIS@Home, Stop@home
II. WCG projects:
- FightAIDS@Home - Phase 1
- Mapping Cancer Markers
- OpenZika
4 polls were added above, vote until April 19 please
I'll be firing up my rigs for this.
How long until team registration deadlines are up? Or is there a deadline on project selection instead?
If we have time, we should create a poll or two for this. Best give the people a voice! :D
See above, April 27. We are definitely registered already
Also April 27. I've talked with SETI.Germany guys and I can still email the projects. I didn't want to select the projects on individual preference, but team-wide decision, so the question above for a1) - a4).
Anyways, the wishes of ALL participating teams are weighted, so our project wishes may not be the final list in the Pentathlon. But I think also we can use this opportunity for internal polls ;-)
more ideas here:
Yes I may dust off my automated Rain script and send a little love https://github.com/Scalextrix/GRCNN
EDIT: In fact this could be a way to get the message out, I'll check if I can send some TXs with messages asking for participation
great
@scalextrix could you have a look please here? it's about making enough info available from the rain to a pool operator
In case you want to vote like Vortac:
MilkyWay, Yafu, Yoyo
