Re: Projects for 2024

Just three points: 1) I have no problem letting you have your opinion on the way BOINC competitions should be organized. However, you should not portray people who evaluate things differently as "unfair" or "cheaters" (and I believe you really didn't mean it that way). On to a fe...

Re: Projects for 2024

After another three people from our team announced yesterday to no longer continue computing for the team, I think it might be of interest to point out another issue with the FB changes - which we debated in our forum sometime around June 2022: It is the change to a system in which tactical "bu...

Re: Projects for 2024

Facts are that virtually nobody knows BOINC, that's correct. Another problem is that those who do, often can't develop apps that use it - even though they have plenty of computational tasks to do on a daily basis. One example are typically biology labs with lots of microscopy imaging, genome sequenc...

Re: Projects for 2024

But the interest in BOINC is rapidly fading away...as many people move from desktop PCs to using tablets and laptops, neither of which are entirely suitable for BOINC and of course energy prices worldwide are surging so people are less willing to run PCs 24/7, just for BOINC.

Re: Regarding 2024

Well, I need to correct myself: With "last year" I did not mean 2023 but 2022. Somehow I still havn't yet arrived completely in 2024, I guess... :mrgreen: Regarding help from our team: We have of course checked in advance whether there are people willing to help in our team but, unfortunat...

Re: Regarding 2024

Hi everyone, I just registered to this forum to post a remark regarding this topic. I am not sure whether you have also noticed this but a continuous smooth running of the Formula BOINC competition website is not only of importance to the website's project itself - to my opinion, over the years it h...
