DC Vault

DPAD & Sztaki have been removed, Leiden classic is up for discussion for removal.
Universe & distributed data mining are likely to be added, and denis is under consideration, I'll report on it's performance in the DCV forums after the challenge.

I see DENIS is to be added as well so all that good work in the challenge will help lift our position :)

Also see you are off exploring the universe, I'll go and do a bit more digging at dDM in a little while :D

I'll probably join you as that project is by far out worst boinc project. I've tested out universe, so I will be hitting that soon, along with ogr-27, primaboinca, enigma, yoyo & numberfields, I keep thinking about have a serious go at them, so many to keep me going.

I've set NNT on dDM for the moment !

Had quite a lot of errors today on a machine that is also working fine on other dDM work. Have posted on their forum and will wait to see what they say.

Still had no response to last night's post which isn't urgent at all but it has had only 3 views, 2 by me and you were probably the other one ?

Website is appallingly slow to navigate and load :mad:

Wasn't me, but you have 4 views now :) I have to say I haven't experienced any of those problems.
What's NNT?
 
I should have worded it more accurate, I don't think it's the case of them running out but problems with the upload server, currently now I can't upload because of a "transient HTTP error" and I can't download any more as I have too many uploads pending.

No, I didn't, but I have been and found his page about it thanks.
Although he hasn't altered the original app do you know if there was any discussion with the project admin at the time ? Did they say anything or is it assumed to be okay ?
Would need to check rolling back to an old version won't affect the CERN/Vbox stuff I do though.

I only know what I read in the message boards, the bizarre discussion where he asked for the source code, and them accused him of changing the server rules to not allow anonymous platform but it seems okay, I went from around 1h 45min to 1hr 15 mins per work unit.

Was going to ask you about GIMPS and how they validated the work done given it is so easy just to make stuff up :eek:

Looking at yesterday's stats it looks like some people do just that, and today's was even worse :eek::eek:
The bit of work I returned is dwarfed by at least a trillion billion million times what someone on the GIMPS.Russia team turned in.

Their forum are aware of these results but the overall impression I'm left with is that if you want to cheat and do it at a low level and don't go mad you aren't going to get found out. Would that be the right impression ?

I've never known anyone one to cheat, or for it to be accepted in anyway. If Gimps.russia are complicit in this activity at any level then they should be ashamed of themselves and kicked off the project. I personally would be embarrassed and ashamed if anyone on our team did it. Some exponents do have factors, to tell the project that it doesn't just so you can get points is pathetic and damaging to the project.
 
I see that GIMPS.Russia has has it's trillion billion points deducted. i can't find any forums or GIMPs project news to say what went on. I also see you seem to be putting the hammer down a bit, what have you got on there? or is it a secret? :D
 
Primaboinca has been removed due to invite code issue, the admins were unresponsive, which meant new donours couldn't get an invite code. Pity as it was fine other than that.

Looking at the vault current top ten I'd say 7th looks more than doable.

Overtaken and accelerating away :D

Many pebbles are being pitched, it won't be long :D:D

In case you hadn't noticed (I expect you had) but I took OGR-28 from you some time ago. Have stopped for the moment, when we got serious with SAT and Enigma, but intend to go back and adopt the Big Bang approach to get us nearer to 8th :D:D:D

I had noticed yes, I got wrapped up with FB but I do intend to revisit OGR again. I knew you would get me on GIMPs but figured you would stop at 100,000, I thought you had some sort of OCD involving 1's and 0's looking at your other project scores :)

Citizen Science Grid has been added back into the Vault, scores will update just after 9am, will see what that does to our position...
Click to expand...

Puts us back in 10th, quick calculation show that CSG will give them an extra 380 vault pts over us, and we are just 64 pts ahead of them, all the times we've made it to 9th, we've never been there very long lol.
