Blame the Formula BOINC admin for not contacting the project admin beforehand for the Sprint and also all those holding bunkers who are the wingman.

The backlog should mostly clear before the end of the sprint.

Thank you for clearing this "issue" (the 4x size - 4x credit), my only machine has been running nonstop 24/7 to reach the 200M credit before the project ends,have already burned one MB and one PSU for this goal.

I have just one question, when the project ends there will be no WUs left to validate right?
I am counting on the Pending credits to reach the 200M and i wouldn´t want to fall short.

Looking at the figures I am sure you will make it, good luck!

I am not able to bunker more than 4 tasks. Does someone know the way to hold more? I thought it is a project feature.

You already have enough "pending validation" WUs to reach more than 199M, maybe even 200M. Just keep running and you'll get it. All pending WUs will of course be validated.

Yes, there is a way to "bunker" more. Some people report their GPU as 32 GPUs by modifying their client. As a project administrator I don't care much, it's up to BOINC sprint organizers to decide if it's cheating or not.

Virtual computers, max number of tasks is computer based not user based.

Just wanted to say that I prefer these larger size WUs. Sounds like it's also easier on the project servers and that's a win win. Thanks!

These larger WU's seem like a no-brainer, considering how quickly the most powerful GPU's can complete a WU.
