Okay, according to reader50's excellent stats, it looks like Cobra is going to pass me for total credit on Predictor@Home in about 17 days. So, I am mustering all of my reservere power and throwing everything I have into it. How much time do I have before Cobra blows past me?

UPDATE: Wouldn't you know that Predictor would go down for a couple of days, as soon as I posted this poll. So let's figure the time to be from when Predictor comes back up. Give it your best guess. In the mean time I'll be fighting for my #1 slot over in Einstein as some of the big guns have moved over there apparently while Predictor is down.

It will be longer now, since Predictor went down.


Rejoice!


Except his backup is Einstein@Home, so he will start gaining on your there too.

Guess it depends on how much cache he has. I won't make it through the night with what I got.

Einstein too huh? Boy, I can't win, but it will be good for the team.

Okay, if predictor stays up, it's time to start casting your votes.

All i've got is what is showing in my list, and my computers aren't hidden. Of course, one of those boxes was just recently added. If you don't know which one, you'll have to guess.

Okay, thought the stats say he is 44 days behind (it was 49 yesterday) Cobra is outcrunching me almost 6 to 1. I might eventually narrow that to 4 to 1, but my guess is he'll pass me in about 19-20 days from today. He sure wasted no time getting his production back up, and he is still outcrunching me in Einstein almost 2 to 1. That is one sweet farm he has.

Well, after a couple of days to get their power up, here is the top 10 Standing for today's production.
Cobra - 7200 - That's incredible production and still climbing
Welnic - 3153 - Creeping up on mikkyo
mikkyo - 3057 - Still going strong
Shaktai - 1364 - Cobra knocked 4 days off of my lead in the course of 1/2 a day.
drweaser - 1343 - Still hanging in there
Drengy - 1328 - Got a slow restart but climbing fast.
macgeek4u - 945 - Gonna have to keep an eye on him.
JoeUselding - 508 - But we know he has more than that to bring on.
jeffreyloaf - 332 - Don't let those numbers fool you.
Virex - 176 - Don't count him out.

Team MacNN as a team - outproducing every other team by an amazing margin.

Wow!!!

Drengy just blew past me so fast I never saw him coming. Cobra is closing on me at an astonishing rate. Hate to say it but at his present production, he will completely overrun me in about 8 days give or take a day. That means despite my best efforts, he will pass me in under 17 days from the original poll, despite the Predictor down time.

Of course the flip side of that is that we as a team will be blowing past several teams ahead of us, in the not too distant future.

My only hope now is that real work might slow down that supercharged farm of his by a couple of days.

My production hasn't peaked yet, (about 3,000 points pending) so I have to think that neither has cobra's. Bad for me, good for the team.
