Of course LHC knows best, but soon I hope we can leave the account creation open and gradually build up to 20,000 members like predictor. I believe this is the next big step for LHC@home now that we are already producing large work units.

Slow is better. Though they could just call them up and ask what kind of server they use at Predictor@Home to see if they should be ok. By the end of the year we may also have a couple of the other projects that are in testing now move into production mode.

Hi Paul, we have a lot in common as we were both sailors in the US Navy!I was on the older aircraft carrier Midway.
If possible, I would rather gather the operators now so they will be ready when we have larger production runs. Orbit@home has over 1,000 operators and they have yet to crunch anything. It is good to be cautious, but constantly opening and closing account creation after everything is stable will not get our numbers up or give us a reputation for reliability. Of course, I don't mean to be a Monday morning quarterback and there probably is a good reason to hold account creation to 10,000. I would like to eventually see this expand, however, to a really major project and keeping account creation open will eventually be one way to expand.

I worked in IM3 Division on the Midway ... 1972 to 1975, last war cruise and went to Yokuska, Japan ... I was attached to VA-93 though TAD to the AIMD ...

One of these days I am going to go down to San Diego and go see the ship ...

I was in repair division in engineering 1981-1985. Wow! What a small world!

Hey - I was in software development in the UK in 81-85 - less than 10,000 miles away. Small world indeed!

Join the Navy, see the world ...

I forgot that most of the world is water ... and 7 years, 1 month, 21 days on the water (not that we counted).

I remember my first crossing, the admiral was annoyed cause we kept leaving the destroyers behind ... Midway was faster than most of them. Spruance class though really neat, 0 to 60 in no time at all ... odd sounding with the gas turbine though.
