I doubt your going to get many to go much over 1 Million if even that much, most people simply aren't going to spend that much time watching Bird Videos ... IMO

I'll go for 1 Mil but then that'll probably be about it for me, I get to watching so many that I go Brain Dead & start pressing the wrong answer yes/no & start to not get any Credits.

You may be right. My original plan was to reach the Million and stop watching too. But if badges are reachable in an affordable amount of time I think I'm going beyond.

I agree with Eric's observation. You can put any number of cores to crunch WUs but only one pair of eyes to watch videos. You can speed up the videos but, with the Plover at least, anything beyond 3 and you can miss important details so this only really works with the "too dark" stuff (with the grouse 5 sometimes helps to identify movement as has been suggested elsewhere). I strongly suspect that any predators of sharp-tailed grouse have long since died of boredom or become extinct waiting for it to do something interesting... like move. This means that the credit schemes used with Primegrid or other Boinc projects won't work particularly at the higher end. I see no reason why there shouldn't be a 10k badge and I don't think the highest badge should be much beyond 5 million at the moment - you can always add new badges with a different design later as they did with Primegrid.

Admittedly the "too dark" videos make for easy points but this is probably compensated by the need to review the more "interesting" videos and add notes (which means watching them or parts of them more than once).

The "too dark" and "corrupt" buttons are a little too close to the input field for notes. This isn't a problem on normal screens but does mean that one has to be very careful if viewing on a tablet. A couple of times I have hit "corrupt" by mistake... ;-)

OK, by me for the bossa badges.

Any chance of something to crunch, my toes are getting cold ? (Please send chocolate chip cookies to: The Pink Penguin, c/o Shackleton's Hideaway, Cape Royds, Ross Island, Antarctica).

Looks like no one has any objections anymore, so the bossa badges can go live then also. Travis, go for it. ;-)

Agree!

Thanks. Never thought that I would make some badges for a project. :-)

You've done a great job putting these badges together, DoctorNow.

Strange picture of a pink penguin in your profile, doesn't look quite like Antarctica. And does the Goliath Corporation deliver those cookies to your home, wherever that may be?

Regarding the bossa-scheme for the badges: Looks fine with me!

Thinking of using the round ones previously posted in the topic, though if you guys want me to use the feather ones, I totally can. :)

I'm also thinking it could be cool to have some "special" badges -- one for the person with the most watched video, one for the person with the highest correct video percentage, etc.

Any news on when the badges will go live? ;-)
