Good to know. how do you get 64 GPUs?

A secret known only to a few, and if he told you he would probably have to kill you ;-)

Tell me first, then kill me.

Is it possible to have 1 raspberry pi hand out work units to the other raspberry pi's in a cluster? And have 1 computer account be the go-between of all of them in the cluster and SETI? So that the cluster would look like 1 PC to SETI?

Judging by the difference between my current score and the score shown in the table, about 13 hours ago. Perhaps assume 'daily' as a plausible interval?

Hal, thanks for the heads up, quick question, does what you run in that batch file nuke your historical information, which would be displayed on the Statistics page in BOINC? I have mine set to save the info for something like 12000 days or some such thing, but I don't believe that this is the issue with that huge file, because the one on the machine I am on now is only around 5 or so meg, and has over a year and a half of data points, about the same as the other one (mid-2016 setup date on both).

Quick question, I was defraging the drive after installing and then removing .net 4.0 as it didn't work (going to try 4.7.1 when it's done) and the defrager I use has a section where it lists large files. I noticed 2 that were pretty huge, and can't imagine they are supposed to be that big unless there is some type of logging situation turned on that I am not aware of. They are both in the ProgramData\BOINC directory, and are called temp_time_stats.xml and time_stats_log.

They are both about 388 meg, which isn't a big deal in the scheme of things, but wondering what they are, if they are both needed and why they might be that big? I checked on my lotsacores box, and they are both there, but are both under 5 meg. Is there a way to shrink them down to this type of size?

del time_stats_log
del http*.*
del job_log_*.txt
boinc.exe --skip_cpu_benchmarks --detach

Just seems to be the usual YMMV.
Meow.

Ok so apparently https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ is now forbidden so older versions aren't available.

That's because the URL isn't needed as HTTPS.
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/?C=M;O=D works fine. Or linking directly to the app, be it from HTTP or HTTPS:
http://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.4.43.apk
https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/boinc_7.4.43.apk

7.4.43 plus the Seti applications should work fine on Android 6, it's with 7 and above that there are major problems.
Or as Eric told me once: "Yes, google keeps changing the rules in the name of (a false sense of) security. What's worse, they keep changing the development kit so a command line build of the app no longer works. My last attempt at at an android 7 build resulted in an app that doesn't work. I hope to get a chance to try again soon."

I'd say it's software issue. 7.4.43 seems to be the last "good" (AKA working) version. Later versions seem to be nothing but trouble from what i've read on other boards.

Ok so apparently https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dl/ is now forbidden so older versions aren't available.

I've made 7.4.43 available here.

Even though my home made stand is working out fine for me, I have another board that I'd like to remote the video card on, so thought since mining has been booming again recently, I would take a look at what options I had for a reasonably priced, fairly simple stand. I guess before I started looking I should have thought about what happened in the CA gold rush, and how the people who made most of the money were the ones who supplied the miners, not the vast majority of the actual miners, who broke even, or worse.

Did a quick google, hit some links to fleabay and to Amazon, and was shocked to see what they are asking for a few cut pieces of extruded aluminum and some bolts. Mind boggling, They were all at near to Way over $100, which I guess goes along with the situation we're having in video cards right now. $25, 30, maybe, but $150-250? Umm, no. I'll keep looking to see if I can find any sanity out there, or else I'll just have to roll my own again. I'm sure v 2.0 will be much better, and won't have the special Dewalt enhancements on it this time either.. ;-)
