Nope^2 The "Number Crunching" board is for "Credit, leaderboards, CPU performance". So whether you agree with it or not, the number crunching board is the right place to discuss those things. |

(Message 349986)
Posted 27 Jun 2006 by ![]() Post: The World Community Grid project is actually funded by a major drug company. Your computer is giving a drug company free cpu cycles. IMO, you should be paid to do research for them or at least get a voucher for 10% off some drugs. That is incorrect. WCG is largely sponsored by IBM and the software they use is provided by United Devices. The research results are available to everyone in the hope that someone will make good use of it. In any case we all crunch what makes us happy. |

A puzzler - how'd this happen?
(Message 344951)
Posted 22 Jun 2006 by ![]() Post: Let me be clear - I'm making no accusations here. I'm just mighty puzzled. A user that typically turns in about 700 cobblestones a day (RAC), give or take, from 17 hosts, only a few of which have turned in anything recently suddenly got 28,677 credits in one day. Just the other day there was a user with a discrepancy in his credit totals who was missing about 30K credits. His credits were restored. It wasn't the same user but could be a similar case perhaps. Link to the thread: http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=31939 Edit: in fact his graph looks very similar http://www.boincstats.com/stats/user_graph.php?pr=sah&id=21530 |

Posted 9 Jun 2006 by ![]() Post: Thanks. So, i will do a comparison between different versions (5.15, 5.12SSE, 5.12SSE2, ...).Which windows version is the fastest? Thanks for looking at all this. We certainly appreciate your great work at Einstein. Hope you can make some progress, the 10% after 10 minutes makes me optimistic :) |

Posted 4 Jun 2006 by ![]() Post: I'm protesting the "strike" (haha, disabling network access) by putting all my resources back on Seti only. What a disgrace, using what happened to Crunch3r as an excuse when what they're really upset about is the credit system. |

Response to concerns regarding the new credit system.
(Message 309606)
Posted 18 May 2006 by ![]() Post: Eric, Thanks for your post. After reading it I have to admit that perhaps I have become jaded in my feelings. I appreciate your forthright manner and I accept your assurances. I admit I allowed the posts of a few here to skew my perceptions of the project. There are some here who dominate the boards and like to invite people to quit at every opportunity. They act as if they speak for the project and I allowed myself to almost believe they have some special insight, which they obviously do not. I will continue to crunch Seti@Home as I've done for several years now and I agree the credit flap is much ado about nothing. My only concern regarding credit, is that those people that crunch wus that require much longer completion times because of AR are equitably granted higher credits. |

Seti Enhanced Credit Fair?
(Message 308255)
Posted 17 May 2006 by ![]() Post: Pappa, Thank you for your reasoned response. I appreciate that you are one of the few urging people to stay on and give SE some time. I'm not cutting back on Seti because of the credit issue. I believe the credit issue is just a symptom of a bigger problem. I'm not getting more credits doing WCG or Rosetta, for example. Nor would I ever think that little ole me is important to Seti. On the contrary, I know I have no say. There have been a couple of problems building for a long time. One is too many users on Seti tieing up all that equipment and bandwidth. The other is the need to get people to try other projects. Releasing SE with this credit system is the perfect solution. Fewer Seti users hogging resources and some users driven to move to other projects. I do appreciate your efforts in urging people to stay on and your efforts in urging donations. You are a gentleman. I only wish others in this forum would follow your example. |

Seti Enhanced Credit Fair?
(Message 308233)
Posted 17 May 2006 by ![]() Post: Seti@Home used to be a search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Now, IMO, that is a secondary goal. The main goal now, for the most popular and successful distributed computing project ever, is to supply users for other BOINC projects. Seti@Home doesn't have funding. They have been forced to ask us for donations, with which I was more than happy to help. BOINC, on the other hand, does have some funding and seems to be the main thrust of David Anderson's efforts nowadays. Perhaps I'm a cynic, but I am starting to believe that Seti@Home wants to drive users over to other projects to further the commitment to BOINC which has overtaken the commitment to Seti@Home. I like to think of it as Seti@Home now being the farm team for BOINC and nothing more... I have done my best to help Seti@Home and as such I will now do what they want me to do; I am slowly moving over to other projects. I may come back one day - who knows. Thankfully I know where the door is so I don't have to rely on directions from Ageless, and not to worry, I won't let it hit me on the butt on the way out. By the way, that was truly one of the dumbest moves I've ever seen from a forum mod. Thanks for all the fish ;) |

Posted 16 Jul 2005 by ![]() Post: Now this is beyond weird. I had 26 WU's ready to upload and the list was getting longer. So I hit retry on each one followed by Abort Transfer and lo and behold, they went through! What would cause such goofy behavior? Try it yourselves, see if it works for you too. |
