BOINC project Universe@home -> no tasks available?

in #gridcoin7 years ago (edited)

see report by @vega40k here:  

  • Universe@home is running out of WUs and nobody cares . #gridcoin
  • Sat 12 Aug 2017 11:44:00 AM CEST | Universe@Home | Project has no tasks available


the Universe admin says also (August 7):  

  • "There is problem with server. These tasks was cancelled due to bug  in it but server constantly bring it back to unsent state (even if not  send it any more). As soon as I fix them we will process it again."


fediverse shows:  

  • available WUs not decreasing while the in-progress do:  
    • 4776 WUs are never sent out due to what the admin said above, but they show up in the total stats


asking now also in forum

What do you mean by

Universe@home is running out of WUs and nobody cares . #gridcoin

It's a recent issue, the project has posted it in their forum.
If you, or any user wish, it's easy to switch project or reach out to them yourself.

We have no central committee dedicates to watch over project. Every user can do this and post the result and possibly go ahead and ask for it's removal if they don't think they fit.

These issues are always possible and is nothing Gridcoin can do anything about in its current state.

i mean this is bad if the project what i run like my main have no wus , maybe over the weekend.like last time if the admin from universe make holydays. was funny to start new project with zero mag

You should always have a backup project selected that can pitch in when a project doesn't have any work. There is never a guarantee that a project will have work available all the time.

it seems fixed, I am seeing now:

  • 65351 available WUs
  • 49230 in progress

So somebody cared, after all?
