Well, of course someone's got to bring this up. :) (And I know the project is just getting off the ground. This is sort of tongue-in-cheek)

Stats exports = done

Badges I'd love to get sorted, I'll have to get our graphics guys to whip up some glyphs to get started there.
Any specific thresholds for badges you'd like to see?

stats added to Free-DC, should show up soon

I will start running it again when we get badges but right now I am happy to add a new BOINC project

the badge system depends on how statistics are recorded.

will the project have separate independent applications with its own statistics - by application accounting, subprojects?
(although it's already a bit late - a decent amount of statistics has been collected)
accordingly - separate line of badges specific to the application

or different applications will be within the framework of a single accounting system - then the general line of badges.
plus badges for special achievements - such as supercactus ;o)

in order to estimate the badge scale, you need to know the maximum amount of calculations and the list of project tasks.
it’s just the time for the “science” section of the forum - a couple of posts describing the project’s objectives and intended goals.

looking at current statistics - first, the start badge should be at the level of 100k - a couple of days of work for an average PC

I'll just start off with a random comment on badging levels: i kind of like the 1,2,5 progression. It looks like it's fairly easy to get to 50K here, so I'd start there and go up according to the progression. Just to start the conversation :)

How about an early adopter badge? Anybody in the first couple of months since starting. Don't know when mc@home started offhand...

We're about 2.5 weeks old now. Day 18?

I joined on Day 5 to get Kaktwoos-cl AMD gpu support and well, things escalated from there

I'd think a set of badges for each thing you are working on ie Cactus right now, maybe a tower or a ditch or a road later on etc.
It should be pretty simple to come up with an icon like badge without going crazy.

You have to be crazy to run BOINC. So that's checked.
Hi Mikey, all those familiar faces... ;-)

Hi it's nice to see you here too!!!

Hey Mikey! I see we've both cut back on our crunching a bit.

Oh yeah Summer is killing my electric bill so my gpu's are only on enough to try new, for me, projects like this one and to maintain enough rac to post.
I took all my gpu's off line but added about 30 cpu's core and still cut the electric bill by over $100US last month, the a/c units are running much less right now.

oh, i hear you. same boat. i've shut down about half of my gpus; only crunching them on new/health related projects. no more collatz until winter when i need the heat :)

Badges now exist, we'll be expanding on them with time, but I hope these happy badges will make happy people :)

I'm making a post just to see the badge I have
