I got an E-mail today while I was at work from the Director at Einstein@Home stating that my system was one of two that discovered a radio pulsar with highest significance. I feel very fortunate to be able to help out this project in such a way. He mentioned that from sending over 100 million work units since project start that the odds of having a system find a pulsar are similar to winning the lottery. He also said they were going to mail me a certificate which is nice of them. I am very excited about this an wanted to share with the group here.

Congratulations!!! Very exciting.

Congrat Bro!!!

Awesome!  My best to you for a job well done.

Gratz!!  Nice of them to recognize the contributers like that.
 
 
FYI, it came up as a Notice in the BOINC Manager too.

 Way to go. Sound like you have a nice rig.
 

Really cool  Nice work!

Magnificent finding! and may you continue to reap success in the search of the universe for even more new discoveries.

Way to go! 

Thanks everyone!

I agree, it is great of them that they recognize the contributers. I just saw the notice on my BOINC client, thanks.

 Way to go. Sound like you have a nice rig.

 

I think it came from my CUDA rig which is the only one I have running BRP4 currently. I have this rig running 15-16 months now on Einstein. It has dual EVGA 580s @ 850 MHz and running 3 tasks per GPU. I kept this particular system set with dual GPUs because Einstein is one of the few projects that can benefit from the full x16 bandwidth. In this case, running two cards gives max production vs power consumption. The EVGA cards have been rock solid running 24/7 during this time in the heat and cold. I plan to let this rig run along for as long as it will run.

Nice

Very cool - congratulations!

Cool!  Congrats!

Fantastic!! Nice work linuxrouter
Now.. if you could just pick winning lottery numbers with that rig...

Sweet....!  If you get time, snap us a photo of that Certificate and pop it back into this thread.  I'd like to see it.  Well done! 

Congrats!  Did you go ahead and buy a lottery ticket?  

nice catch!  good of them to give you the credit as well.

Great news!  Another reason that Crunching is more satisfying than Folding.

Very cool!  Congratulations on your find.

Wow........  This is quite the accomplishment you have achieved. Just proud to know you

Thanks again everyone. :)  I am just glad the project is as successful as it is with these discoveries. Einstein has been finding a decent number of radio pulsars in recent times. I think they found at least nine radio pulsars so far this year.

Will do!
 

Just had a thought, I get them sometimes....What does everyone think about a "trophy case" to show off our teamates
discoveries?  By my count we have at least 2 collatz high steps, 4 primes and a pulsar.  Pretty soon we are going to have trouble keeping track of them.  Something for the team to mull over.

I received the certificate today from the Einstein group. They mailed the certificate all the way from Germany via Fedex and sent two certificates each of which is very nicely framed along with a letter of thanks. I very much appreciate them going out of their way to recognize contributions of members like this. This is great of them to do. :)
 
Here is a picture of the certificate.
 

 
As soon as I am able to, I plan to build out my Einstein farm even more.

That's pretty cool!

Great Job!!!

That's awesome....

+1.  I'm impressed by the project with the certificate.  Shows they care about the project and appreciate donor contributions.  I'm definitely making a mental note to give this project a run at some point.
 
Congrats again LR!

Congrats again LR!

I've done work for them before, after the PrimeGrid challenge, I'm enabling them for more work again.  have been trying to get all of my projects above 10k, but something always comes up and I put my work on other projects or I add new ones, I guess it can use a little more time to get there....  FreeDC shows me as having 28 projects, a few are out of work or haven't had work in too long, though....

This exceptional gifts in case of find something have make me that i  must sign in with the project so new Einstein@Home n00b on the block and the team there ;)
 
Congrats on the certificate Linuxrouter :)
