Two weeks after my 16th, but already here. Glad to see all the old timers around!

Greetings. It will be another 2 months and days, but I'm glad that this project has continued so far. Just recently updated my client and have added a CUDA based one... This will keep growing nicely!

I just remembered I was supposed to post here to join the club of 13 year crunchers. Since September...

Hi there, just to get listed as in past incarnations. It sutrely has been a long trip so far...

It was a couple months ago, but yeah, I'm here. Thanks to the respondents on the 10 year old thread to point me here.

Glad to be around still crunching data after all this time.

Well, I do belong to this club, and the next one (¿Is there an 11 year club?) My original cruncher (PII400MMX turned to PIII500 turned to CeleronIII1400) is still functioning, although one of its startup HD's was disconfigured somehow and I haven't taken the time to restart it without damaging the installed software on it and the 'puter has been turned of for 3 years. It may take a while for me to get it back to function. Anyway, it's good to see many old itmers around. We'll be waiting for the project to resume.

I still have active my first crunching machine, it's an IBM Aptiva that had originally a 200 MHz PII, I upgraded it to a 300 MHz PIII and then to a 1.4 GHz Celeron III Tualatin, that quit a year ago. It's back to 300 MHz PIII.

Had to deinstall Boinc from the office crunchers due to internal policies, but saved the data directories, so I can reinstall them later to new crunchers.

Still 6 months left to fulfill the decade crunching.

I didn't remember until now, almost 3 months after the 9th anniversary. But got a treat for it: I replaced my most productive host to a dual core that crunches almost five times what the old one used to...

So, thanks for all the time crunching together.

Well, I'm a bit over 500,000 BOINC. I was expecting for the 9 year mark, but this is also a good milestone.

keeps at 3033 units pending. That 'puter is also a wingman of myself, namely my oldest pending credit here. I'm quite sure there are a few thousand other users in the same position...

Welcome, little grasshopper. Results such as what you've posted are not totally uncommon. You must keep patience, since in this project, the more analysis done, the best the possibility that someday someone obtains a positive result.

This project is so big in magnitude and expanse, that what any individual has done as part of the task is no more than a little blip on the map of the whole project.

Keep crunching and don't dismay, your part, albeit small by now, is as important as the one of each of the rest of the people taking part on the project.
12) Message boards : Number crunching : strange short CPU times with high claimed credits (Message 692335)
Posted 17 Dec 2007 by Profile JJGalvan
Post:
It seems that the claim of all those credits will not sustain itself, as we've seen that confirmation from wingman is used to assign credit to the lowest claim. A follow up of this thread can confirm this theory.

I've posted about this on my profile. In short and translated, while the idea for many of us is to brag about our personal standings and statistics, the best of all is that it should be a fair competition that benefits the project as a whole. Keep on crunching.

Wow, I'm a newbie in these forums, and also am glad to know there are people so committed. It's been almost three months since I got to this club, and am glad to see it so concurred. Cheers to all!

My wingman in my oldest pending credit has 3254 units to process and an average return time of 24 days, I just hope he gets back all his pending units on time...

It seems the problem is solved. Did a complete scan using antivirus, antispyware, pcpitstop.com and also defragmented, checked active processes and now I'm uploading complete results, thanks for the help

Hi, this is my first message on this forum. I began a search here since one of my computers is set by the project to a WU quota limit of just 1 WU per day, even when it can process nearly 220 cobblestones per day (around 4 or 5 average WU's). I was expecting the existence of a way for us users to modify the settings of this, but as of what you've all posted, this is not open to us, so, will I have to wait until it is modified?, or should I ask for a modification?

If you will check the results page for your computers you will find that you are having nothing but computer errors on that computer. This limits your quota to one per day. It states in the error message "can't link input file" which sounds like a permissions problem. This can be caused either by an antivirus program changing the permissions on the files, by the permissions on the directories themselves (maybe you installed BOINC as one user and am running it from another user) and I didn't notice if you are running VIsta or not, but if you are, you might try uninstalling BOINC from the default directory (c:\\program files\\BOINC and reinstalling to a different directory (c:\\BOINC for example).
But it boils down to your computer is spitting out nothing but errors. Fix your computer and you will start downloading more work.


Thanks, I'm checking the computer and updated Boinc. The antivirus has not been changed apart of the updates in a year, I'm still in Win XPSP2. Am doing a pass through pcpitstop.com to check if something is wrong with the system.

* EDIT *

Just checked, seems that in the last 48 hours, the computer in question dumped 69 WU's, therefore the project placed it to the minimum quota to avoid a DOS coming from it.
