PSA - Universe@Home No New Work for 2-3 Weeks

in #gridcoin7 years ago


Due to problems with work units failing to upload to the server for some users, the project admin for Universe@Home has made the following announcement.

"As some users are reporting serious problems with finished WU's uploading I have to dry server, unload queue to get more info what's happaned. So, we will not generate new taks at least for next two-three weeks"

In order to ensure that you do not run out of work during this downtime make sure your machines are connected to one of the many other BOINC projects, information of which can be found on the Gridcoin website.

Well shit happens. Guess that the other projects will see an increase in the rewards for the downtime

This is enough reason to delist the project during the downtime, so as to prevent people continuing to be compensated for 2 to 3 weeks without having to do any more research.

I will raise it in the development channel. Good eyes Guk.

Agreed. Though we have to make sure to do it at the correct time. There are still 260k WUs to work thru before the server runs dry (and only 60k currently in progress).
