    account creation fully open

    hello,

    the account creation is fully open and it seems there isn't any bug left ... beta state is almost there

    free-dc is second just after amd-user

    we need more power to go to first place ... even 1 WU a week is something so if you have boinc, just add the project !

    let's sieve

    What is up with their forum???

    IT took me a bazillion (well, quite a few) tries to get by their danged registration "read the goofy letters" thing, and now I haven't gotten the confirmation email.

    Can someone who CAN get on their forum please ask about it?

    Why can't they use the integrated BOINC forum like the other projects?


    Stats: I'm getting different credits for WUs completed on the same box. They all take about the same time +/- 30 minutes, with maybe 30 seconds variation. On one I'll get 7 credits (sometimes 7.03) and on the next I'll get 10 credits (or 10.03). What's the deal? I thought the whole BOINC system was going to comparable credit - 14 credits/hour or 20 credits/hour for the same work desn't sound right to me.

    It looks to me that the credit varies if you find a factor. 7 points with no factor. 10 points if a factor is found. I have one WU that credited 13. I think that WU had two factors.

    That's correct. Each work unit gets a certain amount of credit, and 3 points is added for every factor.

    jasong is true and in the long term factor density will decrease and then the 7 fixed credit will increase.

    the actual density is 1 factor every 6 WU so it's about 0.5 credit per WU
    7+0.5=7.5 credit per WU and that give 15 credit per hour on your computer.

    the way the project give credit is the only way to have fair credit ...

    Interesting way of doing things. I didn't know the factor bonus would increase.

    That factor bonus definitely makes things interesting.
