If you want to get into the top few quickly, you'd crunch for projects in the former group; that is, those with the least users. But if many people do that, then the project will start getting more users, and it will be harder for everybody to stay in the top few. So they may move to another that still has few users. So it would distribute computing power across projects, which is what we want, isn't it? _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
