1) Message boards : News : ATM (Message 60035) Posted 8 Mar 2023 by STE\/E Post: I just aborted 1 ATM Wu https://www.gpugrid.net/result.php?resultid=33338739 that had been running for over 7 Days, it sat at 75% done the whole time. Got another one & it immediately jumped to 75% done. Probably just abort it & deselect any new ATM Wu's ...
2) Message boards : Server and website : Can't Upload Wu's ??? (Message 59987) Posted 26 Feb 2023 by STE\/E Post: Is something wrong with the Server ??? I haven't been able to Upload 2 GPU Wu's for 2 days now ... ??? Thanks
3) Message boards : Multicore CPUs : New QC app (Message 51316) Posted 14 Jan 2019 by STE\/E Post: Two tasks have been frozen at 1,098% despite they ahievied it very quickly. I dont't think the app is good, yet... None of the BETA Wu's freeze up on my Box but it's 50/50 whether they get a computation error or not, They all seem to run 30 Min's even if they get the computation error, some finish okay but show up as Invalid here at the site ...
4) Message boards : Multicore CPUs : New QC app (Message 51297) Posted 12 Jan 2019 by STE\/E Post: STEVE asked, What are the requirements to receive Regular Non BETA QC Wu's ??? As far as I know, regular non BETA QC WU's are still Linux only. I am getting plenty on my Linux box, none on a Windows box. Yeah that's what I was afraid of, guess they don't need the Wu's run very fast if it's Linux only. Why would they test the BETA Wu's on Windows Machines but not run the Regular Wu's on them, weird ...
5) Message boards : Multicore CPUs : New QC app (Message 51294) Posted 12 Jan 2019 by STE\/E Post: STEVE, Have you gone to BOINCmgr/Options/Computing Preferences/Disk and Memory??? The combination of those 3 checkboxes under Disk must yield over 60 GB of free disk space. May be 60 GB per QC WU. In my case I was getting QCs but they seem to have stopped over night. No idea why. How many months will it take to clear 125,000 WUs??? I have a 1 Terabyte HD that I run Boinc on, there is 878gb of free space on it, there should be more than enough space to run the Wu's. Disk: use at most 750 GB Disk: leave free at least 1 GB Values smaller than 0.001 are ignored GB Disk: use at most 100 % of total Tasks checkpoint to disk at most every 60 seconds Swap space: use at most 95% of total Memory: when computer is in use, use at most 95% of total Memory: when computer is not in use, use at most 98% of total
6) Message boards : Multicore CPUs : New QC app (Message 51287) Posted 12 Jan 2019 by STE\/E Post: What are the requirements to receive Regular Non BETA QC Wu's ??? I have never received 1 even though I have been calling for them all along. I can get the BETA QC Wu's so one would think I should be able get the Regular QC Wu's. Running Windows 10 Pro with 64gb's Memory on a Intel i7 7770k CPU. When my Box calls for Wu's I get this: PBOYZTOYNP9873 13027 GPUGRID 1/12/2019 4:35:13 AM No tasks are available for Quantum Chemistry Server Status shows Quantum Chemistry 125,158 Unsent ... Thanks

8) Message boards : Number crunching : Quantum Chemistry Failures ? (Message 49123) Posted 1 Mar 2018 by STE\/E Post: Every Quantum Chemistry CPU Wu I get error's out almost immediately after starting, is there anything special needed to run them? Will a Windows 10 Machine run them ? ... Thanks

10) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 40801) Posted 9 Apr 2015 by STE\/E Post: And where does BOINC rules say that a project can't give 100 million credits for one dollar donation? (maybe there is some rule, but I am too lazy to invalidate my own rhetorical-intended question) That's just wishful thinking on your part, Donate a Dollar & get 100 Million Credits without all the expense of investing in Hardware.
11) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 40798) Posted 9 Apr 2015 by STE\/E Post: In my opinion points should be granted only for scientific projects or statistics should be split between scientific and non-scientific projects. Woo boy that's ANOTHER whole HUGE can of worms there!!! Hopefully another thread too! We can throw out 90+% of the BOINC Projects that have been run then ... No where in the BOINC Name does it say Scientific Work Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing it just says Network Computing for those that want to Volunteer their Computers ... If people want to Volunteer their Computer to the BU Project then so be it. When the time come that a few dictate to the many what they can or can not run then that's the time to stop Volunteering my Computers.

13) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 37698) Posted 20 Aug 2014 by STE\/E Post: it would be a good thing to let people pick and chose from a wide range of options to show the data the way they want to see it Right, that way everybody can argue until the Cow's come home who's doing more for BOINC or argue that their Holier than you because they run only Supposedly Scientific Projects ...
14) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 37682) Posted 19 Aug 2014 by STE\/E Post: Their Stat's are totally Screwed up ... IMO Stoneageman who has over 6 Billion in Credit's at the GPU Project which is included in the BS Stat's show's only 4.2 Billion in Total Credit's ... Go Figure What your going to end up with is 100 Different Stat's Site's that all report differently so everybody can point to the Stat's Site that best reflects their own Credit Position in the Stat's ...
15) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 37490) Posted 29 Jul 2014 by STE\/E Post: Why was BU allowed to use the BOINC platform for their purpose? Because BOINC can be used by anybody for their own distributed computing projects, either public or private would be 1 good reason. If you don't like a Project then you don't have to run it ... Right from the BOINC Project List ... http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/project_list
16) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 37475) Posted 29 Jul 2014 by STE\/E Post: This confirms that if someone is addicted to credits, he/she will sell his/hers non-ASIC (also expensive) crunching hardware to buy ASICs, which is quite logical decision. On the other hand, it will decrease the GPU/CPU crunching power of all projects. I think it will hurt the already known credit-factory projects like Collatz Conjecture, Milkyway@home & PrimeGrid, and probably the others too. So how many CPU only Projects were Hurt when the GPU Work started to Flow, I read countless Post's in some Forum's that they were turning off their CPU's & running GPU Work only. Sure it was a Boon for the GPU Project/Projects as People migrated towards them but it hurt the CPU only Projects too ... IMO
17) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 37460) Posted 28 Jul 2014 by STE\/E Post: I have no Problem with them taking BitCoin Utopia from the Combined Stat's, just as long as they do away with Combined Stat's altogether & let each Project stand on it's own. The BitCoin Project was / is allowed to be a BOINC Project so you Can Not Exclude it from the overall / combined Stat's. To do so would be Highly Hypocritical is so much as the Stat's from all Previous Excessive BOINC Project's are allowed to be Combined with the Much Lower paying Project's
18) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 37450) Posted 27 Jul 2014 by STE\/E Post: Is there any authority who can audit their credit policy? Do they think that they need to reduce their credits? There have been people who have called for a Credit Reduction but they get shot down pretty quickly. The Admin of BU has also stated that he will not Reduce the Credits either, about the only way they get Reduced now a little is the difficulty increases every 2 weeks. Larger difficulty = slower mining = slightly less Credit's. There have been several of us bumping against the 1 Billion Per Day Wall, several (not me) will start going over it today & some more in a few day's ... Really Ridiculous, it's like an Arm's Race, so & so got this Miner so they use that as an excuse that they have to keep up & get 2 more of them them selve's, then the other guy gets 2 more himself & so on. I'm seriously thinking about putting my ASIC's up for sale on E-bay & just go back to crunching CPU work which I enjoy much more than this Arm's Race going on now ...
19) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 37419) Posted 26 Jul 2014 by STE\/E Post: I was happy just using my CPU's to run worth while Projects, but I'm not going to sit by, complain & watch other's run me over in a few weeks what took me over 12 Years to attain. That's what I call a bad message for the old crunchers. ???
20) Message boards : Number crunching : BitCoin Utopia went crazy credit-wise (Message 37412) Posted 25 Jul 2014 by STE\/E Post: If you resurrect Donate@home with ASIC computing capabilities similar to what BU has done...we will come Right, I would be 1 of the 1'st to throw my ASIC's on the GPU Grid Project which I consider to be a much more worthy Project than Bitcoin Utopia, but for now I'll run BitCoin so I don't get Stampeded by the Credit Seekers. I'm not really happy about the Bitcoin Project myself & the amount of Credit they give out, I've even expressed that in my Teams Forum. I was happy just using my CPU's to run worth while Projects, but I'm not going to sit by, complain & watch other's run me over in a few weeks what took me over 12 Years to attain. I'd rather get on Board with the ASIC's & lead rather than follow much like I did when the GPU's 1'st came out ... ;)
