Even I can't get in.

I'm not the LHC Alex. Just a number cruncher like everyone else here.

You can't join LHC Alpha. LHC Alpha is a closed project, and at present there are no plans invite more alpha testers.

I had forgotten I signed up to the Alpha project on Feb 1 2005.. but it's crunching work from November 2005. I was never able to successfully attach to the project at the time and apparently it's fixed - and I'm crunching there but I feel it's a very very neglected project. No news, no updates, no idea why there is 7 month old work, problems with the php code, some account bugs.. it's really not worth attaching to. I only have one host donating 4% of its time.

The alpha is as the names implies an alpha project. I used it to test updates and newer versions of sixtrack, before moving them to the main server. It is not important that the work there gets "chrunched" it is only there so we can test the results of new app versions.

I guess it is also the first place they will try out the garfield application once it is done. It has run on the cern internal boinc system and that worked. I think. I can tell you more once i see the meeting minutes.

I guess if after you get a new app out there, if you might end up needing anymore testers, I'm willing to help.

For now though, and as some have pointed out, there isn't reallly anything to test, and once there is another app, there's perhaps no knowing how many of the current members will "stick with it" with testing, or have since gone onto other projects...

Chrulle,

We really do appreciate and respect the fact you take your personal time to check on these boards every so often especially since your departure. :) Thank you!

And not to forget: very, very old pending credits! I found out that I have 3,100 pending credits for work I finished successfully within april to june 2005! I reported the problem over there in the alpha message boards, but I have no great hope that any of the "officials" will ever read those posting, as I posted the same already in august 2005 and since then NOTHING happened. Looking at all those nice results of mine... I feel they never will be granted... *sniff*

I guess, I'll have to bump up this thread regularly until someone from the official side is going to notice it (and solve the issue maybe?!? ;-))

Please, can you send me e-mail, when they accept more alpha testers? I just want to join that project. My e-mail address is henri.heinonen@mbnet.fi.

It isn't wise to post your email address on a public site. I hope you have a good spam filter.

It also is not wise to reply to such a post and not edit out the email address

I'm using 5.4.9 without problems. Shouldn't this question be posted here instead?

Welll ... I thought the question was proper since it specifically addressed a condition of operation for LHC@home Alpha, which is the header of this thread.
