After we have fixed the current app problems, we will start implementing FCC's. Please give us your opinion on how we could do this. The idea is to give volunteers some extra credit per crunched workunit; for example 0.01 credit per active day attached to D@H. We would maybe have a maximum of 10 credits after a certain time attached. For example, if somebody would have been actively crunching for D@H for 8 months, every workunit would earn him/her 2.44 credits and after 2.7 years of crunching for D@H you would have reached the max of 10 credits per workunit.

Cheers
Andre

Sounds good to me... ;-)

How would you define active..?
Does this mean that you have to turn in a unit every day?

I ask this because I think there are some at dail-up and might not connect every day.

Active is something we have to define. And that's what this thread has been created for: suggestions to define these concepts. So any ideas are welcome! If there are many suggestions we could even vote on them like we did for the header :-)

Thanks

Maybe my question is stupid but why this FCC ?
i don't crunch for the credits and if i was here for the credits, i would want probably more.

I don't crunch for the credits either, but the FCC can help keeping people atached to a project. They get a "reward" for being around so to say.
Project hopping is not a strange thing in the "world of crunching"... ;-)

It's kinda like the "soft credits" discussed earlier in the BOINC community.

For example, if somebody would have been actively crunching for D@H for 8 months, every workunit would earn him/her 2.44 credits and after 2.7 years of crunching for D@H you would have reached the max of 10 credits per workunit.


Andre's offer was 0.01 credits/p/active day... I think 0.005 will do the trick also (max. of 5 credits).
Downside... the defenition of active must be fool-proof or else discussions can appear regarding being granted or not.

So the question remains... active is when you do at least 4 units a week on averidge..?

Just a start bid..?

I agree. This system will make the project attractive for much users than it without FCC. Anyway it's harmless for everyone, from those who aren't interested in getting credits to those who are, and of course for the science as well.

Surely it has argued.

thanks,
