1) Message boards : Number crunching : @Berkeley Team_STOP THE PROJECT at this time to much Error in all Things (Message 3279) Posted 1 Jul 2004 by Cohiba Post: Might as well put in my two cents :) I have been running BOINC for over six months without a hitch. The problem that many have referred to as BOINC is actually not the BOINC software, but a problem with the Seti@Home project servers, as others have mentioned. I believe this to be true, because I have been running an Alpha version of Predictor@Home ( http://predictor.scripps.edu/ ) on BOINC with very little problems. No problems with the BOINC client software. Their project has not been affected at all during this S@H outage, except to upgrade the server-side software, which seems to have went well. The point is, other projects are able to use BOINC, and S@H has been having bad luck. The BOINC software project was tested, in a selected group of Alpha testers. These people were chosen for their ability to provide useful, constructive feedback. I, for one, think Beta group was left out, because there was very little constructive feedback provided by that group, especially in recent months. Alpha was the first to know about this site, and the "live" project. The project may have "slipped" into the mainstream due to an innocent web surfer that happened upon the website and made a post on a German forum about it. When that happened, a storm of people hit the website, which was at the time only intended for Alpha test users. It is your choice to be here, and people will probably abandon the project due to the situation it is currently in. BOINC is a very interesting project to me, and I will stay here until it is gone. If you have interest in the project, but are turned off by the problems it has had, I urge you to at the very least, come back to the project later, after the major switchover issues have been worked out. Guess it worked out to a little more than $0.02. :) *********************************************** Join US-Distributed [url=http://www.us-distributed.com]
