So what happens when you get a 6th star? Do you get a 2nd badge with one star on it? And if so which star does it get? The high one or the low one? | |

So what happens when you get a 6th star? Nothing It seems only fair that you get a second badge or some other way to incorporate a 6th into the existing badge This was discussed when STE\/E and zombie hit 5 sapphire stars (which was at that time the highest possible badge), but it was decided that further stars would not be implemented due to the limited number of projects, and the necessity to participate in alpha projects with little work or have participated in now-defunct projects for badges beyond the 5th.
Free-DC does this - just replace "&name=xxx" with your userid, or use the in-built search function. Would be nice to have on the site proper though. | |

If you look at BOINCStats list of projects, most of them consider themselves Alpha. Probably because they are too lazy to update their info with the site which is up to project admins. However, it is rediculous for projects to call themselves Alpha or Beta when they should really say their apps are alpha or beta. Even then, if it is running production level work, they shouldn't be called alpha or beta. Apps are always being updated. Live work should be just that. http://boincstats.com/en/page/projectStatusInfo A good example of mis-labels is that RNA claim to be BETA on their page, but BOINCStats still has them as Alpha. Even WUProp is listed as Alpha..... ____________ | |

... …Eventually shifted the second star from red to green, though its not appeared on my account just yet... Worked out that it would take 4 months to go from green to blue and that I probably don’t have enough live apps in the 3rd star to move it to green any time soon. So I will try to transform the two lower stars, mainly by running lesser apps and run a few more favourable apps from the 2nd and 3rd stars. Silver to Gold and Bronze to Silver should be easy enough, achievable in a week or two. 2 Golds or another Red might be doable in a month or two, but in the long run I think I will aim to take the top star to the next level (about 5months of crunching on its own). As I’m in no rush I’ll likely diverge to meet some project milestones or badges. Maybe sometime next year, after I get my first Magenta, I will aim for a second blue, or to take the 3rd start to Green, if I’m still interested… My only star turned pink (amethyst?). Well did! Going by the Badges List it's Magenta - Some say, ink costs more than gold, but I guess it depends where you buy it/mine! | |
