Why is "team creation disabled" ???
(Message 39019)
Posted 2 Jun 2019 by mikey Post: Only BOINC wide teams are accepted. My Team The Final Front Ear is on every Boinc Project but yet isn't in the search when I look for it. The ONLY Team that comes up with the word "the" in it, no I did not use the quotes, is The Scottish Boinc Team. |

(Message 28260)
Posted 27 Dec 2016 by mikey Post: Is there a how to section on adding virtual box on Linux pc's for newbie's? I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and in the Synaptic installer there is no virtual box for Boinc listed. It comes with Boinc on some of the Windows installers. Thank you very much!! |

Posted 26 Dec 2016 by mikey Post: As mentioned already on this thread: Virtual box is NOT needed if you only wish to run the default application, Sixtrack. Is there a how to section on adding virtual box on Linux pc's for newbie's? I am running Ubuntu 14.04 and in the Synaptic installer there is no virtual box for Boinc listed. It comes with Boinc on some of the Windows installers. |

Not getting enough tasks
(Message 28094)
Posted 11 Dec 2016 by mikey Post: The simplest of questions - there are some Sixtrack WUs currently available but they are not downloading - applies to 3/4 BOINC applications. Have I done something wrong settings-wise? Can anyone help, please? Rogerp The Server Status webpage is cached so may not be up to date. I'm not getting any either. |

Posted 28 Jul 2016 by mikey Post: Well, first SixTrack is a Fortran application. There are medium/long term plans It would also be really cool if you guys could figure out if Asic boxes could be used here too, they also do math really quickly but right now only work on Bitcoin stuff within Boinc. |

Posted 29 Oct 2015 by mikey Post: If I had as many computers as you Mikey I would have got 1000 WU's I try to keep my cache small, about 3/4 of a day, to not hog all the units. I don't like it when others do it and I can't get any units so try not to do that myself. I do have a stack of pc's but they aren't the newest or fastest, together though they can chew thru some units. |

Upload data amounts
(Message 27602)
Posted 4 Oct 2015 by mikey Post: I examined a couple of work units. The downloaded files (zipped) are about 349 KB, while the uploaded result files (not compressed) are about 44 KB. Simple zipping of the results reduces the size by almost 75%. Yes exactly! It seems that LHC doesn't know it's in there either! |

You might make that suggestion to the Boinc discussion group and they could perhaps include in the next version so ALL projects could use it. |

WU not being resent to another user
(Message 24949)
Posted 9 Nov 2012 by mikey Post: It's just a very, very busy project. They maintain a 'high water mark' of around 300,000 tasks ready to send, and turn over about 60,000 tasks per hour - so the end of the queue is never more than five or six hours away. I think you are the Pro coder while the rest of us don't know how to use those terms the way you do, so we use terms that fit for us, but are not technically accurate for you, the Pro coder. I THINK what he is trying to say is why aren't the resends automatically sent immediately to the available workunit cache instead of just into 'some other cache' then into the available units cache? |
