    Hello all Techspot crunchers.

    As you may know, S@H is changing the way all the crunching will work, so please read some important information HERE

    Shortly said, all your "old" work units will be saved to a separate stats place and when you will switch to BOINC clients, everybody will be starting from ZERO !!! A new way of calculating the credit is also used in this version.

    The new homepage of our team can be reached HERE

    At the moment, I downloaded the new client but it says that there is no work for the project, so don't hurry yet...

    By the way, in order to switch to BOINC you have to get a user ID from your old seti account, so activate it HERE

    On last thing, the client is reporting some performance and hardware related information to SETI, so if you are a privacy paranoiac, be careful. (Reporting IP, domain name, computer name, CPU, OS, RAM, HDD and client uptime percentage)

    I activated my account & it allready downloaded a few units for me to crunch. I think I'm gonna stick to SETI classic for now (especially since I have to keep running away from Goalie...).

    I'm a bit confused guys, are we doing both seti and UD cancer research? Should we just pick one and run with it?

    It's your choice ! Some run both (UD on some machines and SETI on others), some just run one of them

    Well, BOINC downloaded and account activated.
    Now I'm just waiting to conclude my cache of WU for the old SETI before I try it out.

    (Though I might stick with the old client a while longer since I've at least got some units done there, and won't be at the bottom of our team ;))

    There is supposed to be a new CLI available but you need Visual Studio .NET to compile it as there aren't any builds available. I like the idea behind BIONC but I'll wait for it to be a bit more mature before I do the switch.

    Well, it didn't like my user id (but the log shows a server error), so I'm staying with classic for now (which too is down right now)...

    I finally got a project in the new one. I stopped the old client long enough to let this one run through. Let's see how it goes. :)

  14. MrGaribaldi TechSpot Ambassador

    I've tried, but now I can't get any WU's in either classic or boinc, so I've given up for the time being.

    Three all day meetings and then one week vacation.
    After that though, I'll try to get one of them to work :)

    Well, just booted up boinc to see what would happen, and don't you know it finally decided to work :)

    Now I'll just have to see if it'll keep working when I'm gone, or if it'll be satisfied with the 3 WU's it had earlier today....
