Please make sure that the boinc developers hear about this as well from as many people as possible. It would be best to fix the problem at the root and not have multiple different project solutions in place that will only confuse people (and more work for the project devs that could be spent on the app). Andre, could you please post a link to the BOINC project discussion? You had mentioned a boinc_dev discussion group or email list in response to one of my questions awhile back, but I was unable to find it. You are quite right to send us there to air our some of our grievances. After all, I don't think there's anyone here who hasn't crunched for enough DC projects to know that there are some bigtime problems with the core BOINC client itself. And it's not just the credit issue, there is a laundry list of BOINC bugs that happen with such predictable regularity in every new project that you could set your clock by them. There is only so much the individual project devs can do, or rather, should have to do. You guys should be concentrating on the science, that's the whole reason we're all here. Until BOINC is made more efficient, it is going to continue to cause frustration all around. =/ You guys (and gals!) have to pull resources to work on debugging, fixes, and workarounds on your end; plus you get the pleasure of listening to the cacophony of complaints about a system that you didn't even write yourselves. We end up with many more wasted hours on our end as well, whether it's from reporting the same old bugs, implicit flaws in the system's treatment of CPU's and OS's, overly redundant quorums, or overly redundant quorums. As users, I believe we are the only ones who can force them to make the needed changes in a timely manner. If you can point us in the right direction, I am sure that more than a few of us would be happy to politely contribute our knowledge, experience, and opinions about BOINC in a place where it could really make a difference. Thanks, Atomic ____________ KWSN - Asylum for the Cynically Insane
