Post: Not believe anyone will hear you unless you post your claim in the Seti FB. Unfortunately :( Your donation to BOINCstats supports them not Seti and stat's are good to promote competition regardless of if it is Rosetta@home for Medical Science or the World Community Grid for Cancer research. You were correct to donate, Bill F As for Seti@home not caring enough to finish up professionally well some people may have gotten too big for their britches. My Last WU went in this morning my first was May of 1999. |

Updated BOINC Clients
(Message 2044298)
Posted 11 Apr 2020 by Bill F
Post: I'm out of Seti WUs and my backup project (Rosetta) is down for maintenance, so I'm out of all WUs, which makes it a good time to upgrade boinc. Now that I'm current, it is time to find a backup backup project (Einstein?) GPUGRID is doing medical work if you have a GPU. And World Community Grid has a sign up posting if you want to be notified when their Covid 19 Project comes live in the next few weeks https://www.ibm.com/blogs/corporate-social-responsibility/2020/04/world-community-grid-joins-in-the-fight-against-covid-19/ Bill F |

Posted 3 Mar 2020 by Bill F
Post: Well with last WU's, from me, probably uploading in early April 2020 I will be just under 21 years at this. Like many others my fist machines were small and either 8 bit or 16 bit systems in a galaxy some where back in time. My start date was May 18th 1999 Soon my current Seti cpu / gpu clock cycles will go to other good projects. Thanks for the comradeship. Bill F Dallas TX |

Posted 24 May 2019 by Bill F
Post: At this point I believe that the current BOINC Android version Beta is not likely to have any patches applied to it. Development on the next release 7.16.x is being done now any changes for ARM 8 and 9 will be in the next release. Bill F |

Post: DARKBIKE just made me feel old ... he thought that 15 years ago with his Father was a long time ago. So in perspective that makes me Grandpa Bill starting back in May of 1999 ... I don't even have a record of what type of systems I was using back on the original Seti@home in pre-BOINC days. Bill F |

Updated Mac Boinc Client 7.8.6
(Message 1913413)
Posted 17 Jan 2018 by Bill F
Post: BOINC 7.8.6 for Mac OS is now available on the primary BOINC Download Site: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php From Charlie Fenton ... This is a release for Macintosh only; there are no changes from 7.8.3, 7.8.4 or 7.8.5 affecting the code for any other platform. It fixes a couple of Mac-only bugs in 7.8.5: * Reliably installs the BOINC screensaver (unless asked not to do so.) * Fixes a bug which could prevent determining the correct size of RAM when run on versions of OS X older than OS 10.11. |
