So, I have about 85 000 points in this jackpot month, how does that scale?

You can check each time! Whenever a draw takes place, we publish the List of Entries (see How it Works) which shows everyone's points total.

From memory, 85k is above average.

Last time I was wondering the exact same thing and looked through the list. I was at around 100,000 and it seemed like most people had a lot less than that. So if its the same this time around, then you'll be above.

@Mark (ID 1138) and @Graeme could you satisfy my curiousity...

How many computers do you have running Charity Engine?

What type of computer(s) do you run Charity Engine on: Windows, Linux or Mac?

Did you install the Charity Engine program? (the one downloaded from charityengine.com or are your running the generic BOINC software we are based upon)

@Jonathon

I'm running charity engine on a single iMac. The 100,000 I had last time was with the program turned off numerous times also while I was doing other things, but otherwise running 24/7 at the default CPU amount. This time around I'm at 150,000 without turning it off more than a handful of times. And im running the charity engine program as I had not been involved in shared computing before.

On my lappy I manage on average in the low 10k's - even with heavy usage. On my imac I have no trouble reaching 50k with light usage.

I just dropped the current entry list into excel...

Average : 34,000

Max : 2,081,264  (wow!)

Min : 0

As a guide, my 70,000 has put me at rank 182 of the 1736.

Don't forget you can add more than 1 machine to an account. I have several machines in my house and at any one time 3 or 4 can be on. Most of my family are also running under the same account.

I'm looking forward to finding out how my Intel core I7 Extreme 3960x scales :D

Also, have you guys added more than one computer??

I'm running an HP Pavilion g7 laptop. It's on for Skype calls about 6 hours a day and mostly used by Charity Engine. In the first cycle (during which I joined Charity Engine) it clocked up 17400 points. My partners laptop (same make and model) runs about 4 hours a day.

I'm disappointed that I won't be finding out how a Chillblast Thunderbird does. Congrats to the winner, though!

Oh well, better luck next time.
