[Ozzer]

thanks for the welcome NVM

I am giving it a try at the moment, However as my ISP limits how much I can download I am keeping a close eye on how much bandwith it chews through.

If its mostly uploading then its not a problem. However if its downloads then its a problem.

Dimes update:

TN has broken into the double digit positions...yeehaw! lets aim for the top twenty! :)

Not sure why but my node's points dont go with my account?

Rag

[N.V.M.]

do you mind if i ask around for ya, Rag? i can email the admin over there.

[Ragnarog]

By all means, go ahead :)

Rag

[N.V.M.]

it may be related to THIS (http://www.netdimes.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=698) thread. bottom line is wait til Sunday.


but now that i know that you are running 4.2, i'll keep checking.


and welcome to Nanobot to TN Dimes! :)

[Ragnarog]

Yeah i think thats what i'm experiencing :)

Btw, i never got a welcome :(

Rag

[N.V.M.]

haha. oops. welcome Ragnarog to Dimes. (as i also kiss #1 position goodbye...hehehe)

[Ragnarog]

Nah..only running it on 1 puter so far ;)

Not sure how it'd handle 2 instances on a multicore computer?

Rag

[Ragnarog]

Just tried, it doenst like multiple instances...too bad ;)

Rag

[N.V.M.]

yeah, but it runs nicely along with other projects.(i think it doesn't like running with Majestic though)

[Ragnarog]

Works here tho i'm not sure if its as fast as it should be.... how many measurments to you get in the stats from any given node per..hour?

Rag

[N.V.M.]

i've been running 7 machines 24/7 for a couple weeks now and all i know is my daily average total.(just added the seventh a few days ago)

http://stats.free-dc.org/new/userstats.php?proj=dimes&name=NorthVanMike

i did notice though that this project treats machines quite equally. my 1700+ cpu is doing pretty good against the Bartons, and my bartender's Celeron is keeping up well also.

[N.V.M.]

points are now credited to the team totals..:)

[Ragnarog]

Not that its a lot of points but hey, everything counts :)

I installed Dimes on my laptop and it totally refuses to connect to the server. It says I need to check the proxy (dont have one) or the internet connection (works for everything else) :confused:

Its on the same router as this machine where its got no probs at all...

Rag

[N.V.M.]

and a big ole welcome to Meady!

wow, look at our daily points now. looks like everybody else put more comps to work on this project. we're smoking!

[russkris]

So that really answers my question.
DIMES does require a perm connect to the net

[Meadmaker]

:bow:

Running on 3 rigs now in tandem with BOINC :)

[N.V.M.]

wOOT..solarflare! hullo...:)

[solarflare]

pieced together a Celeron 1gig pc, had the chip sitting in the closet, spent a few $ on a motherboard on ebay, threw it in a case my neighbor was gonna toss...

running DIMES and DPAD on it ... :)

[Nanobot]

Ozzer and Hawk PN to da team! wOOt! :)

http://stats.free-dc.org/new/allteams.php?proj=dimes&orderby=projrank0&direction=&x=100

I think you need to fix the link as we are now in the top 100 :lol:

And where was my welcome :tear: :D

[russkris]

:ninjawel: to Nano

and take a look at POST 7 ;)

and welcome to Nanobot to TN Dimes! :D

[N.V.M.]

I think you need to fix the link as we are now in the top 100 :lol:

And where was my welcome :tear: :D

haha, just change the 100 to 0 in your addy bar...:p

just looked there myself. TN is 14th in daily production now. what a turn around in the past few days!

[Meadmaker]

Running on the whole MeadeFleet now :)

[solarflare]

Please no laughing !:D

I added DIMES to my AMD 233, yesterday evening. It works !!

Results seem on par with my Celeron 1.0

This project doesn't need alot of horsepower to run.

BTW the AMD 233 is still running WCG as well.:)

I just don't have the heart to shut it down, It was the first pc that I built from scratch!

-sf

[Ragnarog]

Dimes takes about 0.01% cpu power as all it does (as long as you keep the window closed) is to ping and traceroute IP's.

It can be added safely to any crunchers!

Rag

[solarflare]

I see Russkris name on the Dimes stats page !


:) :) :)

WELCOME !

[russkris]

Thanks Solar

[N.V.M.]

Okay, welcome Sionnagh,Hogward, and Codfish_II. :)

[russkris]

WTG NVM... Thanks for that, looks like I'll be 3rd last soon. :D

[N.V.M.]

it seems that Dimes runs the same speed on all my computers. i'm going to set up a couple of smaller machines and see how they do. if they run just as fast,bonus!

[vaio]

Dimes being network based, the cpu has little bearing :)
My 800 Duron keeps up with my 2.4 Athlon :D

[vaio]

Oh and if you really wanna get up there.........some folk run VM's and extra instances of Dimes.........may give a nice stats boost to anyone interested.

VMware have a 30 day demo of their product

[solarflare]

See my earlier post.. I have an AMD 233 running this project . Its doing just fine ..:)

[N.V.M.]

yah, i saw that about VM's. HERES (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=80235) a handy dandy how-to if you want to check it out.

[Farley]

:D

[solarflare]

I added another PC to this project.. yep I'm talking Celeron power!:)

However, it wasn't enough to hold off the charge by Hogward! Nice going dude!

I also happened to notice that Sir Nano has added some firepower, and now has a fleet of 15 PCs on Dimes! Cool !:D


Team Ninja is now in 47th place!! Way to go all!!

[Farley]

:lol: Celeron power... :rolling:

[solarflare]

Farley,

I forgot to mention, that Celeron operates at a Full 500MHz!:p

It joins my DIMES Fleet consisting of a INTEL Celeron 1.0 Ghz, OVERCLOCKED to 1.120 GHZ !!! as well as my Old trusty AMD K6 233 MHz GAMING RIG ( you should see it play Free Cell )!

In reserve, I have another Celeron 633Mhz machine. It just needs a new power supply. It's just a matter of time until that baby joins the Fleet, in my Garage.


:)

[N.V.M.]

holy moly! did Meady ever hit the motherload in ASEdges! how'd he do that?

[Farley]

:lol: 500!?!?!?

[solarflare]

Farley,

Are You keeping up with the Celeron :p ?
