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 of host machines may find there are connection issues, especially in the first few minutes and hours after the Sprint starts.

So, please be aware and do NOT try and load up your bunkers straight away as it is Easter weekend and so project admin staff may not be available to manage or adjust any server-side settings.

Have a good crunch !
regards
Tim

Hi all

Just had this message back from one of the admins at Einstein@home:

Yeah, glad we could help making this a smooth and fun experience!

Thanks to you guys for supporting our science this way!

It's always nice to hear back from projects that FB members crunching is appreciated !

Hi Tim,

thanks for reposting this. Really nice.
It was much fun as always and more than 450 pieces of this fun are still validating

Last race forced me to check some old GPUs out of the shelf and those working ones I will distribute to my teammates so these old but still capable for crunching devices could make some useful work before the retirement.

I mean, every sprint brings something new apart of fun: knowledge, experience, hardware resurrection.
Thanks once more for keeping this running!

Hi all

The project for Sprint #6 has been randomly selected. The project admin has confirmed that their project is ready to support the event with tasks (and with the usual caveats about any last minute interruptions/failures etc).
