Not that it matters, except maybe to me, the Sc badge is 19.5M credits. I have 144 other badges/trophies from POGs ... that is beyond ridiculous! :) With regards to AN I think that 2 badges might be appropriate - one for credits since that is the norm and a 2nd for found pairs since that is the ultimate goal of the project. The reason for the 1st is because a lot of work is actually being done eliminating numbers that don't produce pairs. |

You can see your pogs badges here as well as which galaxies you've helped process etc. The site requires registration but tinfoil hats are easy to make ;) Good grief. I have 46 badges there. Just NO!!! |

I've added 3 badges: 1) For discovering 100 amicable pairs 2) For discovering 1000 amicable pairs 3) For discovering 10000 amicable pairs Each badge replaces the previous one once a user reaches the next milestone. Note: badge images are placeholders for now. If you have better ideas - don't be silent. |

May I suggest something here about the points and badges? I would prefer a system based on 100, 200, 500,1000, 2000,5000,10000, points/pairs awarded etc for reaching the next milestone, so this kind of balance between waiting too long for the new badge and don't make it too easy to get a new one. Just my 2 cents. |

Great to see progress on the badge front! A few suggestions however... If it is not too much trouble, I would suggest using the standard bronze, silver, gold for the first three badges. Also, I agree with pututu regarding the levels chosen. Not all users have GPUs and can imagine users with a single slower dual or quad core machine even becoming discouraged at the distance to the next badge level. Reasonably obtainable badge levels encourage many users to stick around. BTW: In my opinion, the badges don't need to be works of art. A simple representation of contribution is fine with me. |

So just add badges for 200, 500, 2000 and 5000 amicable pairs found? This is possible, but I just need to select 7 different colors for all the badges. |

I'm going to differ on the color idea... Standard color badges for CREDITS, yes; for pairs found, why? The number is already in the badge, I kind of like the idea of one that says "this is project-specific" - and I like the color you picked. (The maroon "100" level.) "Standard" colors are probably the ones PrimeGrid uses, although many projects have slight variations. I do like the idea of more levels. The more the better - keeps interest up. |

Great to see progress on the badge front! A few suggestions however... The badges are good and a points total one would also be nice, but as I am only CPU currently, nearly any badge will be a long distant goal which I may or may not reach. When my overall total is equalled per day by each of the top 20 volunteers, I know I am not in their league. But I will still add my little trickle of data as I am sure it will add to the overall progress of the project. The ones that can reach the various badge levels, go for it, I say. Conan |

I've added 3 badges: Added 4 more badges: for discovering 200, 500, 2000 and 5000 amicable pairs. So each next milestone is 2 or 2.5 times more than the previous one. |

I am trying, so far I have just 20, so still some more work to do to get to 100. After 150,000 points I have 20, so after 300,000 may have 40, after 1,200,000 I may have 80 and I may get 100 after 1,350,000 points Of course that is not how they come about but it still means some work ahead for me anyway. I have made a couple of setting changes so I will see what happens. Conan |

I am trying, so far I have just 20, so still some more work to do to get to 100. They are not consistent with credits - it's the "luck of the draw", I suppose. After 357,000 credits I have found 377 pairs... |

I am trying, so far I have just 20, so still some more work to do to get to 100. Looks that this is the case. I have joined yesterday. Now I have ~340k credits and 15 pairs. I also suspect that it was much easier to find pairs in the past. |

But there are almost 500,000 undiscovered pairs left in the range, and each discovered pair counts for two people, so 1,000,000 "points" for the badges left. |

FYI Sergei ... Good Job but the Badges still aren't showing up in the Signatures from the Signature Sites ... |
