I hope some competitors find the following site of some use. https://boincot.uk "Boinc - Opportunities and Threats" All suggestions, questions and feedback are welcome on functionality and/or presentation. Defaults to my current team (of course) but the url for any selected team can be boo...

Choosing such a projekt kills the equal opportunity in a Sprint. I don't see how Asteroids kills equal opportunity, getting work out of Asteroids is very difficult but that is equal for everybody. I'm running Windows and Linux operating systems, AMD, Intel and ARM processors and they all had their ...

Microsoft are threatening to close the door on the TPM workaround and equally annoyingly close the door on a Windows install without logging into a Microsoft account. I've wondered if Microsoft will eventually dump Windows and go over to linux, they have put a lot of effort into WSL and WSL2 which w...

Boinc policy appears to be go going the other way, using virtual machines on Windows running Linux through WSL. At least one project has been issuing tasks for that setup - I can't remember which project but I had a few tasks shortly after I configured Windows, I don't appear to have any now.

I can't get into website and boinc can't find it either. From the stats boards the historic data has been re-added in at least two steps but mine hasn't so far. I'd hold off any cancellation until we know they have finished doing whatever they can, I'm not on discourse so don't know if there is any ...

It went down overnight (2200 to 0300?) but it looks like ...

Yep, server out of work.

Really annoying with projects that have buddy validation because that encourages competitors to over-cache right at the beginning which leads to loads of tasks not getting validated throughout the competition.

my best Card, the 4090 runs every ~2 hours out of work and the retry time incrases to 2 hours or more.
The huge number of faulty Wu's makes this situation not better.

Have you tried reducing your internet bandwidth?

The first time I saw it, Cruncher Pete had a load of entries at the bottom of the table, later on it changed to positions at the top of the table.
