Is anyone else still running this project?

does anyone know what our current standing is?

Post by **danielmid** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 10:18 pm

13th by RAC, 18th by Credit. SETI.USA just passed us in the credit column LOL

Post by **MzSnowleopard** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 10:37 pm

didn't they say that they "don't give a damn" about this project?

Interesting..

I'm still running this project myself.

Post by **danielmid** » Tue Jan 08, 2008 10:39 pm

Yeah, but they decided to give us a New Years present to make up for the Christmas present that I gave them lol. A few of them ran the project just to prove that we aren't a real team and that they can beat us if they want to, but more power to them. I wish I had that much computing power at my fingertips, oh the things I could do. The things I could do....

I have been (and still am as a fill-in when MilkyWay goes down), but since I hit 40K, I'm not really crunching it heavily.

I'm exlusively running the POTM, SpinEhenge.

In the spirit of KM's efforts to smooth the waters between the teams... I'm going to keep my opinion to myself.

Anyone who truly and absolutely has to know it- is welcomed to PM me.

I don't think that was the intention behind them running the project. I think us passing them brought some attention to the project and brought some of their crunchers over. That's not a bad thing.

SHA is always down at this time of day. It will be back in an hour or two.

02 Sep 2008 AEST:

SHA-1 crunchers may have problems with this project. Listed as unreachable in the team stats I am unable to reach the server stats page at the SHA-1 website. This implies that there are connection and/or server issues.

Post by **Gavin Shaw** » Fri Sep 12, 2008 1:57 am

12 Sep 2008 AEST:

Get this when trying to view their web site.

Unable to connect to database - please try again later Error: 1040Too many connections

This may affect crunching...

Post by **danielmid** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 3:04 pm

So I am not sure what happened, but my account was deleted and so was the Team. I went to get new work and it told me invalid user key, so I sent to the page and had to make a new account. Calm Chaos was no longer a team so I remade it and I'll hand it over whenever any of you join back up.

Investigating the cause still.

Post by **Labbie** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 3:28 pm

My account is gone too.

Post by **Knightmare** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 5:12 pm

WTF?????

Deleting teams sure doesn't sound like a good way to keep people crunching the project.

Post by **Knightmare** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 5:28 pm

Ok. I attached to it and joined the team Dan.

Post by **Gavin Shaw** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 11:18 pm

Okay. Well their forums have also been nuked. There's only one thread and a few posts.

It appears my account is gone too, although BoincStats still shows the credits. It looks like some kind of server crash / DB crash. They did mention they may have to go to a backup, so that could restore most things...

Post by **Buga1** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 1:40 am

That is weird. I hope they have a good recent back-up. Im gonna wait to create a new one. Hopefully they will post or say something soon about it.

I would've held it hostage for a week or so.

Honestly, it wouldn't have bothered me much if he had...lol

I just would have sent the request once they got stuff straightened out there. :-)

Post by **danielmid** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 4:50 pm

Accounts and everything are all back. If you made a new account like I did, you will have to detach and reattach again.

Post by **Bird-Dog** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 5:05 pm

My accounts back and I noticed they have added 1000 credits to my total. I havn`t crunched there in a long time

Post by **Labbie** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 5:17 pm

BOINCStats shows 1000 more credits than my account page.

Post by **MzSnowleopard** » Wed Dec 03, 2008 11:04 pm

maybe they're way of making up for this SNAFU?

Edit: The site is showing all my creds.

as I understand it- those are 2 old military anagrams- pre WW2 maybe. My Dad used to say them and never tell us what they meant- "when you're older- you'll learn them."

Post by **Buga1** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 7:38 am

Well glad they got it back to almost normal. Now I can reattach. Well I wonder if the current setting would still work. Guess I will check that first.

Post by **Gavin Shaw** » Thu Dec 04, 2008 11:02 am

Well my account is back, but I'm down 120 odd credits...

But better than losing it all...
