Since DDM seems to be not sending work (happened before when they run out of room in the database). Since it is a holiday weekend in the US it may take a day or so for them to realize it.

What are you crunching? I decided to try out Yoyo's ECM. Anyone have anything to say about this? I see it shows advancement for the first about 20%, then it sits at 20, 40, 60, 80 before finishing. These units can take nearly 24 hours. Do they checkpoint well? I need to do some system reboots and want to know if I am going to lose a lot of hours spent crunching these or not?

I see not many of us are crunching very actively on this project. It seems to pay OK and they have badges.

The only thing about Yoyo is they are very old server code. They never plan to update it. I believe they are still on 5 something code, whereas the BOINC codes are now up to 7. I guess it works for them, but newer code does have some advantages, like making the project a secondary (setting it to 0 priority).

So what are you crunching on, waiting for DDM to return?

It's been a while, I don't remember ECM's quirks. I really should make a notebook for this stuff. Try SETI Germany's forum, they have each project's requirements and other useful info. You don't have to be logged in last time I looked.

I'm shrubbing some PG PPS-Mega while waiting for DDM.

I decided to let Collatz (GPU potm) use the CPUs, at least, till I clear some Einstein units.

No new projects.
My phone (HTC - One) is warping apart from being plugged in all the time to run Native Boinc. I have it on a metal plate in a cool room and still glass is warping right off the case.
I'll send out some "Thank You" PM's via SETI boards to those who were able to help in the 2014 Wow! Challenge, then use online time to view videos for Wildlife@Home.
After I re-set my gpu & cpu with new thermal goop and install some new memory, I'm Going to start cutting back. No new projects.
Shutting down at least midnight to noon to conserve energy... ($).

I've been running some Atlas, but several WUs have been stuck at 100% completion for over 12 hours. Confused

Also running Simap.

Distributed Data Mining is being a bit of a pain TBH. I do not wish to run their Stock market application so I am really struggling to get any work and when I do it's a slow process returning it Sad

Filling in with Seti and Collatz but open to suggestions. Wink

DDM seems to be totally off the grid today. I had left a couple messages for Nico (Admin) over there, but ever since he got his most recent job (about 1.5 years ago or so), he seems really slow in responses. I hope to see it return and some answers, soon.

I am still filling my time trying to get Gamma Ray 3 (only resend work left) to help be finished at Einstein and gain as many hours as I can for WUProp (now over 2.5K), Astropulse at SETI (yeah, new units loaded), and the new project I have been on ECM at Yoyo (weird units, but they play well and pay OK).

DDM is back, it has work, and it is WORKING!

Let's push ourselves a little further out of reach for a couple of teams that have been silently, aggressively pursuing our #1 spot.

Sir Landroid. From boinc select the your account link. When you get there, if you aren't logged in, the login link should be in the upper right.

Once you log in, you should see 4 buttons near the top left (view, edit, track, profile). You might need to select your account again to see them (the site is a pain).

Select Edit. Wait. Wait. Wait a bit longer. It may look like it's not there but the boinc settings section will eventually load.

From there it's change settings like you would in any other project.

Happy Shrubbing!

Oh, yeah.

Starting to remember what I hate about this project. #Mad

Always trickling or out of work, crazy run time estimates, Java, triggers something to make my AV software take up 40-70% of the CPU resources. Twisted Evil
