Yes, this is basically a "giving a trophy to everyone" in that this is just a fun competition. It doesn't matter how little or how big your computational power is, you can get points and compare it to those who are around your rank. The only real winners here are the projects with whom re...

The new point system rewards participation far more than the previous point system.

so the math is 516.70 x (30 projects) = 15,501 now let me check 1st place indy points ...tonight crashtech TeAm AnandTech 15848.80 BG TOP POINTS indy style. 15848.80 Mr Top Points indy 15,501 Mr. I'm not a choosey cruncher Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm So just by running 17th across all projects, Mr. I'm no...

Ok again your misrepresenting me, so let try to simplify my point. I am making a statement that I think it valid, it relates to my point so lets start with that. There are some crunchers that want to spend their hard earned on only projects they believe in for whatever reason. yes or no. lets get b...

The only thing I can say to that is I disagree , how do you know if you can't be in the top 10 to the end and i can only speak to the old system not the new points system.? I found your arguments very weak and not on point. Now on the other hand if you're forcing certain play on this site and it ho...

I'm kinda taken back by your comments, lets just say your questions are rhetorical and get to the New Points System :) I'm going to absorb this,plus look at your examples, I have a few of my own and the we can just address the new points system and is it what's being represented. And is that good o...

I have been in the top 10 since I joined BG, actions not words? So I have been able to compete, before. Yeah, because half the people participating wasn't getting points for their contributions. Now they are. You want to be in the Top 10? Nothing, absolutely nothing is stopping you from achieving t...

@skillz One main theme in your line in your post keeps buggin me, you said, not me. competition is winning, please define winning. My definition is winning is being able to compete at a high level to achieve my desired goal, as stated i like being in the top 10. I feel good if i can achieve that, t...

No one is saying the 25 points scale shouldn't have been inflated to be the new max of 375 to make Q1 whole, but computational resources decisions made on the previous point structure.... We've spent 2.5 months of electricity bills chasing points that were scaled by the old method, and benefits to ...

This is me speaking and I only represent me, Well chips starting to fall, it's very hard for me to be involved with a competition which forces teams and members to run programs which we do not support or which I feel irrelevant based on the programs goals. So based on the advice of a spokesman for ...
