Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

Hi all IMPORTANT MESSAGE Please be advised that the admins of the selected project for Sprint #5 have advised me that they have similar protection mechanisms (like the Asteroids project) which are in place to help prevent DDOS attacks. As such, just like with Sprint #4, members who have large farms ...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

The nefarious downloaders normally let the tasks time out rather than abort them, I presume they just wipe the computer, possibly a repeated number of times for those pr...

Hi Natalia Sorry, I did note your request and I have forwarded this to Sebastien for his approval. I will ask him again and see if he is happy to add ODLK2025 to the Marathon list. re...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

Hi all Thanks to everyone for your patience with regards to the latest Sprint. I would like to cover a few things, which members may be aware of and others may not be. 1) I make a routine check of available projects to see which ones should NOT be included in the selection process, if they have few ...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

That was impossible. As I said earlier, I was unable to connect to the project, either by BOINC or by web browser. So it was impossible to PM anyone there. Hi Of course I understand if you have no access, you cannot post a message ;) But once it was available to you (assuming this is just a transie...

Re: Sprints 2025 - timetable and projects selected

Hi all Can I suggest that anyone who has access to the Asteroids channel on Discord, go there... Here are some quotes from today: 16:07pm - As you might be aware, @timbo_boinc organized another challenge, and it didn’t go well.
