RE: POLL: 'Should ODLK1 be Added to the Whitelist' Closing Soon!

in #gridcoin7 years ago

the people have spoken and you say that you are for the betterment of science and availability of what do you call it like this is Compaq support " Compute " and try and be your own fanboi club http://gridcoin.science and its the BS dictatorship and disinformation that hurts the growth of Boinc projects. Look if it doesn't interest you nor do you think its in the best interest for your compute resources than done compute it. The issue wasn't that it was in Russian either because its easy to translate LMGTFY and i will find you a plugin , even if you use w3m cli for a brower.
I think we need to vote to require all Boinc projects to be in Latin because English is not the language of the world. It is oddly and American English , and I live in Seattle Washington USA , is the 2nd language of the world typically. Now the reason the project didn't pass 1rst round was SSL and for some reason although the boinc dev's such as David Anderson have explained that a project having SSL open matters for the https website account login and not WU and client server side communication but for some reason people think due to CM's false propaganda that a project could have an .exe injected and .txt for something like a DDOS CNC network. This is pure BS but yet projects still for some reason only pass if they have SSL although we can think back just a few years to heart bleed and what other openSSL 0day? I think you are a true greyhat like myself and should just admit it to your BOTIS ( boy on the INTERNET syndrome ) fanboi club and 3.8jiggawatts dedicated to Boinc and Gridcoin consuming what would normally not be allocated to the Grid. You and I are more alike than I would like to admit but this is not the way to go about getting your own way. Yes blog about it , but you try and make it like your the offical gridcoin site and staff blah blah and then whine when the current system and specifications in place do not make you happy or are something you agree with. Look , it was not a foundation vote and only .2% of registered CPID's use social media or irc etc and either you nor I get heard. It just depends how much Customminer our fearless leader man's up and starts to show unbiased real readership and the Gridcoin community removes its current dictatorship system. You had your vote weight and are a vote whale and did not get your way. You have on other things that others could copy/paste the same argument. So sit down and shut up.

The results are reported via the scheduler URL if I interpret the code correctly. If this URL is HTTPS then encryption is used, see scheduler_op.cpp and its subsequent calls. It seems to be far too rare though:

$ grep scheduler_url /var/lib/boinc-client/client_state.xml 
    <scheduler_url>https://boinc.thesonntags.com/collatz_cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>
    <scheduler_url>http://www.distributeddatamining.org/DistributedDataMining_cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>
    <scheduler_url>https://scheduler.einsteinathome.org/EinsteinAtHome_cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>
    <scheduler_url>https://numberfields.asu.edu/NumberFields_cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>
    <scheduler_url>http://54.208.77.129/pogs_cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>
    <scheduler_url>http://www.primegrid.com/cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>
    <scheduler_url>http://srbase.my-firewall.org/sr5_cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>
    <scheduler_url>http://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu_cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>
    <scheduler_url>http://www.rechenkraft.net/yoyo_cgi/cgi</scheduler_url>

So, the way I understand it is that the WU communication is encrypted if the scheduler server uses HTTPS.
