Re: Sprint project Milkyway

I think the issue is due to using the 1-core droplets. Milkyway tasks are multi-threaded tasks so I'm suspecting it wont send work to a single core host. I tested with the 1-core droplet and nothing. I tested with a 12-core instance on TSC and got work.

Re: How long does it take to validate new account?

I don't know anything about the inner workings but perhaps projects that update stats more than once a day may be the ones to target eg SiDock and Einstein? That is the quickest way to get validated. If you know what times the projects update their stats.xml file each day you could pick the next pr...

Re: Sprint project Milkyway

I don't know. It's not anything BG can do since we have no control over TSC or Milkyway. So you'll need to ask TSC or Milkyway what the problem may be.

Re: How long does it take to validate new account?

We don't control how often the validation happens. To validate your CPID you will need to change your name to the unique name BG gives you. Then once that project updates their stats.xml export file, BG will grab it and if the unique name and CPID matches your account will be validated. To speed up ...

Re: Want a project added?

Ramanujan Machine This might be a good candidate. It seems to always have work and I think their hardware and network infrastructure can handle it. LHC@Home - Work too intermittent? Doesn't always have work. Also one of the sub projects requires VBox which is always an issue and uses a ton of resou...

Re: Opt out button

Yes, in theory that's how the system is supposed to work. When you opt out. Whatever points you earned previously is frozen. When BG gets the new stats.xml file, it doesn't add anything more to your account. When you opt in. BG will grab the stats.xml file and get your current overall credits. This ...
