I had to give up on DF. Sorry, but the client was kiling me.

I am running Seventeen or Bust now:

Those are my stats. I see Beth ahead of me (As usual)

Form a team?

I like their website. Nice looking and concise. ;)

However, it doesn't look like they currently offer any support for teams. Did I miss something?

My other beef is the lack of anything but a Windows client. :(

Of course, if it's possible, make us a team! As long as their are people from Free-DC who want to participate, we should have a place for them to do so. :thumbs:

Just out of curiosity, what problems were you having with Distributed Folding? I've had issues with it in the past so I'm watching it like a hawk now. So far, so good. Is there something in particular that I should be looking for, Colin?

Q: Why am I getting 'block report denied' error messages?
A: Most likely, your block has "expired." This means that the server gave up waiting for you to submit it. Because clients can die in the middle of a block, the server only waits 8 hours for a block to be reported. After that, it assumes the client died, and returns the block to the queue, and sends it out to a new client. This way, work is never "lost." If you get this error often, talk to us and we'll try to work out a solution.


makes it sound like there is a short time limit to return work

is that correct? you only have 8 hours to return work?

if so, then this project isn't for -nonet'ers/people without a permanent reliable connection

or did i misunderstand?

If I may stick my oar in here... I think Dyy was asking about Colin's problems with DF.

However, from what you're reporting about SOB, then agreed: no no-netters & full-time connects only. This would be consistent with their project. They're doing stepwise refinement, so your results becomes the next guy's fresh work unit.

Kinda like FAH, but hopefully, without the Pande group. :rolleyes:

You guys missed the point ENTIRELY!!!:spank:

:D

I have one or two machines running this. I am NUMBER SIX Daily!!!

It's an OPPORTUNITY to massacre another project.

The client has no checkpointing, runs windows only and is not in the way.

If you have machines to match, we can do some damage:)


I stopped DF because I only had one box on it 24/7. The output was near zero when compared to powerhouses like Paratima.

It made me feel inadequit :crazy:

I'm doing everything I can do to make Paratima feel inadequate but he's taking FOREVER to catch. :bang:

He's obviously got no intentions of going down easily. :D

I need more machines... ;)

FoBoT, it's 1st version of client, you have to edit .cfg file in sob directory and write your "FoBoT" handle in place where anonymous reside.

Sorry, above info's NOT correct (that was another client :D )

You must click Config button and then enter your username into "Username".

And btw you must stop client first...

While I cannot give this or any other project much power, I am running it and it's OK for me. My setup matches the requirements. I am #2 or #3 every day for Daily Production. Surely SOMEONE can challenge my natural, God given supremacy?

Are you C H I C K E N? :scared: :cry:
