Hopefully, this did not affect too many FB Teams or Members with their crunching ! It has affected some hosts due to a somewhat ridiculous behaviour of BOINC client. It thinks that there's no need to update a project if tasks are not available for some time. But hopefully it will not affect final s...

Hi everybody, that was a tight battle and I've enjoyed every day of it. One of the best sprints so far! Tim, you can try to get in touch with TigerLily on WCG Forums. That's a spokesperson for a whole team, so it would be nice to arrange some communication for the future. Emails are known to be work...

Everything goes well so far. Mostly ) Some issues are still possible for new users since WCG website unable to login anyone once again. Last time this was fixed only in two weeks. New crunching hosts also are limited to a bunker size due to a 'trust' algorythm by WCG, I suppose. Anyway, shouldn't th...

What a surprise. A good one in terms of a project selection. And a bit poor one in technical terms. They have just solved big issues with a work unit generation (or distribution) this year and the project runs smoothly for a couple of months. Surely a sprint would be a next step for stress-testing W...

That makes us successful at stress-testing Asteroids@home. Thanks, Tim!
I'll think of it from a positive perspective: FB and its participants are doing a great job even if the event wasn't 100% perfect
Greatful to be a part of it.

I believe with this sprint I should have calculated my points by myself... the competition looks compromized to me

project admins should be more honest replying to Tim's enquieries about capabilities of their servers

I think tactical 'bunkering' makes a lot of fun with strategy variations only for events like BOINC Pentathlon. The idea of sprint is really great to run a challenge for a certain period. Today I've spent almost the whole day setting up bunkers for SRbase challenge for all machines which compromised...

In case people read this who are interested in developing novel BOINC apps & projects, please contact us. We have plenty of cool ideas. :mrgreen: Hallo Michael, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one with ideas and engagement in BOINC. I will definitely contact you later after we will fini...

Hi Tim,

it's not so easy to join UK Team forum.
Three of my emails were rejected. Possible reason unknown, maybe non-UK or something else.

So many obstacles on such the early stages. Life of cruncher is cruel
