Are the Badges awarded by a certain number of tasks completed per month or by a certain number of credits earned in a month?

Badges are being granted for processing a "lucky tasks". But this can be changed.

Another nice bird that living in half of Eurasia and Africa. :)

I thought all that's required is you have a steady flow of work (I believe the requirement is credits awarded every day for the past 40 days, and Boincstats shows you're achieving this). They also don't let you in if there is a possibility of cheating and earning gridcoins you're not entitled to, which I think means you have to have something unusual in the credits system like LHC, which I think gives you points per CPU time rather than work done. People were fiddling it by making their machines look like they had more cores than they had. But AFAIK your project just awards per task completed, which should be fine. Then you need someone with at least 100K gridcoins to start a poll, and provided most people vote yes (I see no reason they wouldn't), you're in. Mikey has 100K coins.

As per https://gridcoin.us/wiki/whitelist-process.html#information-for-project-admins

"The first step is making sure you as the admin of the project want to be whitelisted. If you, somewhere public you should say that you were interested and a date when they would want this to happen (anywhere that someone could check such as project forums, Reddit, etc). Following this, find someone to make a poll for you on Gridcoin. Lastly if the community votes votes “yes”, then you get whitelisted."

So this is somewhere public I guess. State when you would like it to happen. I'm guessing as soon as possible?

Then Mikey, could you start a poll since you have the coins?

If Gridcoin adds the project into whitelist it will be good for computing. But I not sure that all requirements can be performed.

my clock is upto date, I have the site listed as an exception in the a/v, I'm using the latest ver of Boinc 7.20.2

Sorry for inexpected Russian text ;) but I had to duplicate the project status news in Russian, because many people do not speak English. At this moment it is important that everyone understands the status.

Congrats to all the badge earners. I'm a little bummed because I crunched and crunched, but didn't find an SAT-CMS pair. (Really wanted that badge! :) )

I second that. ;-)

Well, what is going to happen now?
Any plans to extend the search based on the fact that something was found with this rough screening approach?

Michael.
