Currently I am about 3 days short of a two year badge for AIDs. This work was done with one core of my two core processor and I would have had more if they hadn't dropped support for my system. Currently I have 1/5 of my new computer crunching for WCG and I take what ever work they send out to me. The most common work they send out is AIDs and it has been a very long running project. If we run out of work over here, they are going to get a bunch of crunching from me ID: 1615438 ·

Last modified: 17 Dec 2014, 20:48:11 UTC Thanks Annie and Julie! Sig updated with new badges! Cool! :) Okay - so despite deselecting everything except ebola workunits, I have yet to receive one :( Now all that's left is to deselect accepting other tasks when they're out of ebola work... suppose its good news that there are a lot of people out there who want to help with it though :) Maybe because you are a new cruncher at WCG. Grab some other WUs while you wait. I see a lot of these messages, but I'm still getting enough WUs for now... 12/17/2014 3:08:32 PM \| World Community Grid \| Requesting new tasks for CPU 12/17/2014 3:08:44 PM \| World Community Grid \| Scheduler request completed: got 0 new tasks 12/17/2014 3:08:44 PM \| World Community Grid \| No tasks sent 12/17/2014 3:08:44 PM \| World Community Grid \| No tasks are available for Outsmart Ebola Together 12/17/2014 3:08:44 PM \| World Community Grid \| No tasks are available for the applications you have selected.

This results in the new project having a great demand on the project so you may not get the work you desire. I have several project I did work on and never earned a badge because I didn't get enough work units in the normal flow to earn a badge. That's how I ended up with almost half my work ending up on the AIDs project. Most people didn't seem to have a big interest in it as it is a long running project and it doesn't attract much interest any more. ID: 1615469 ·

That's a shame Dena :( I'm happy crunching whatever they send - I would just like to be able to contribute something to the ebola work too - but it's early days so I'm sure I will get one eventually :) ID: 1615594 ·

Indirectly you are contributing to the project. Besides that, the badges go up to 5 years so there is status in earning a badge that few people have. If you haven't found it yet, click on the header above the badges and you will see all the badges offered. ID: 1615755 ·
