YoYo Ethics Question

[Rudy Toody]

While running ECM to get an additional 93K to reach my 1 000 000 credit Master Badge, YoYo sent some Euler WUs in place of the ECM. I did not have the Euler box checked in my subproject options.

I consider this to be as bad as Microsoft's silent updates, but not as bad as Sony's root kits.

I was planning to have this running on a borged machine, but I don't want to have to explain execution errors or malware to my friend .

Am I over-reacting?

PrimeGrid has a "Send work from any subproject if selected projects have no work" checkbox. Does YoYo have that as well?

It does not have that checkbox. However, I had send test applications box set to yes. I am trying it now.

That did the trick! I wasn't aware that I had set that box to Yes.

However, when I was trying to get the ECM WUs earlier, the server status said there were plenty. So I shouldn't have been getting anything else.

iirc some projects give test wu's priority over others, so if you had test enabled that would explain it.

During my brief time on Euler 625, I had 3 hits!

They were just trying to lure you in....
