Ok. Ten days since the last no go update.
They have now fallen into the who cares category.
Time to stop thinking this will ever be viable project again.

I have not given up hope yet.... But Rosetta is in the toilet also, I can't get any units now. It wants virtualbox installed. I tried it once, and it does not work well, so I won't try again.

Older 5.2 versions seem to work better with BOINC vs 6.1. That doesn't change the memory and space requirements though which is the main detractor for me.

I tried to run it on a 32 core, 64 thread EPYC with 128 gig ram. It would only use 8 of the 64 threads. Unacceptable.

Client might have been set to 50% memory usage when the tasks were using 7-8gb.

Ten days since the last no go update.

10 days is like a mere blink of an eye though if compared to communication habits of a variety of other projects. Rosetta@home for example.

Do we even hear from rosetta once every 10 months?

WCG MIGHT be UP ! I tried to refresh the news page and nothing. Then I went to the main site and it says its up. I can't get BOINCTASKS to come up, so I can try connecting to it, and this box is doing PG. But I thought I would let you know, it might be up.

Update ! I was able to add it to a computer that did not have it, nut no tasks yet, and I am trying report on one box thats has a bunch ready to report. I might be JUST up. and having problems dealing with all the updates.

This would seem to be the news article:

Website and Forum Restart!

Website and forum are now online.

www.worldcommunitygrid.org

It says the "website" is up, but it isn't clear if that includes the BOINC server.

Good to hear things are advancing!
