For about a week I had disabled Astropulse from my settings page. Then I decided that I wanted to enable it again. So I enabled it again, but I still wasn't getting any workunits. I thought that there just weren't any to give out at the moment, so I have just been patient. But that was several months ago. So has it just been that there haven't been any AP WUs or is it a problem on my end? ID: 996945 ·  |

Nope nothing wrong. unless you ask for AP WU's exclusively, the chances of actually getting an AP by chance is about 1 in 30 but many folks are asking for the APs so that number goes way down. I estimate I get less than 1 in 100 or less just by having AP and MB requested  In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face. Diogenes Of Sinope ID: 996947 · |

I have "ask for AP only, then get other WUs if none available" in my settings. I probably get well under 1 in 100 APs. They definitely come in bunches: I'll get one a day for two or three days, then nothing for a few weeks. I'm averaging about 12 MB WUs a day.

There is NO Astropulse or Astropulse v5 work any more, those settings are totally useless. Astropulse v505 work is only available in the "other applications" category. Joe ID: 996975 · |
