Hello, generous donators of CPU time.

As we ramp down the current data analysis to make way for the hot, fresh multibeam data, we are going to change the quorums for result validation very soon. Perhaps tomorrow. Currently we generate four results per workunit, though three are enough for validation. We're changing this to three and two.

This means less redundancy, which has the wonderful side effect of consuming less of the world's power to do our data analysis. However, be warned that this may cause us to run out of work to process from time to time over the coming weeks, especially if we lower the quorum levels even more (two and two).

There's concern that "no work available" will cause us to lose valuable participants. Maybe it won't. In any case, hopefully we can get the multibeam data going before the well drains completely.

Time will tell.  Thanks for the head's up!

I know, I know. But I also know that there are projects the team needs more power. I am free to crunch for any projects IF there are no more WUs from SETI.
