With the recent burst of new users, cpdn has now overtaken seti@home in the BOINC recent credit stakes, but cpdn is still far behind in number of users, number of machines and number of team. cpdn now has 49.4% of the total recent credit.

My estimate for 70,000 runs completed is 1 March, and for 100,000 is late May. By end of February we should have just under 40,000 trickling computers. Hopefully publicity about THC experiment results, launch of sulphur cycle and experiment 2 will push the number of trickling machines above 50,000 by June.

Is any of this recent credit the result of the so-called credit lottery?

Yes, RAC will be artificially inflated in CPDN. On the other hand, it only affects those who have recently completed a run, and most of the recent joiners will not have had time do so.

I suppose it would be possible to measure actual credit over a period - CPDN will still be slightly inaccurate because there is a small time lag before the credit is corrected after a run, but it should not be far off.

The other thing to bear in mind is that S@H were migrating to a new server last week and had quite a few pending credits backlogged.
