New Projects

Isn't that very nice coming over here and telling us we have a 'bad' stats page.

Up until now I considered you a good stats page, and my suggestion was only to let you be this. You really don't care whether a project is just a scam or doing real work?

I don't want a judgement about the science done in the project, but no science at all is soemthing quite different. Fake projects, that only steal CPU-power for worthless junk should not be supported by the communities, they should be named and shamed.

The credit discussion in general is something that should be sorted in the project mailing list in Berkeley. There were (and still are in some areas) irregularities, but at least those projects delivered science, not plain junk.

I would not consider it a fake project though. That's where I think your argument falls down. The admin is pretty responsive and adamant that he will be putting out real work at some point. Yes, the UpperCase app is useless and he should have only put out a few wu's, I completely agree, but that, in itself, does not make it a 'scam'. I think you should take the argument to Goldbach instead. Once they start doing real work they should reset the credits - problem solved.

Start a poll if you like and let the users decide whether to remove Goldbach from the stats.

As I say, I don't want to police it, but I would respect the wishes of the community.

I don't want an account there, I'm no fan of such math projects, and as they haven't included BOINC-wide-teams yet I'm not in there involuntary as well.
I have asked some of my team-mates to start a discussion over there, I hope they will do so.

Is this the same Goldbach as in the Goldbach Conjecture in mathematics relating to prime number searching ???

It sound a little like you want us to be a Big Brother to the DC world.
From what I know Free-DC was founded on the Idea of Freedom to help out in what ever project we or we as a whole wanted
And that is why the members of Free-DC put out World Class Stats for ALL Projects.
If you don't like our Stats you are free to get the Info elsewhere
