RE: First observations of my RAC prediction experiment
I've set up my boinc and gridcoin account on 30th August or so and I'm looking for the same answers ;)
ad. Observation 1
I guess y axis is RAC, but what is x? No of work units or hours or days?
ad. Observation 2
Points earned ... timestamps of when the host reports the results.
What I understand, credit points are given after WO has been confirmed, not just reported. (Thus there exist task pending list.)
My very rough estimation is (note 0.5 = 50%):
i.e. you get to 50% of your max RAC after a week and almost 100% after 2 months. I will double check these numbers later, so take them with a pinch of salt :)
x in that chart is days since start
AFAIK points are indeed calculated when reported but rewarded when the WU has been confirmed. That's why I chose VGTU, a reported task seems to be confirmed right away. Maybe they don't need to check, I didn't look into it. You have a valid point here. But I like to start with as little variables as possible. Stay tuned, I'm making progress and will report here for sure.
