    You know what we need is a list of all current BOINC projects and a link to attach with

    Like this
    ABC@Home = http://abcathome.com/

    AlmereGrid = http://boinc.almeregrid.nl/

    Doable as a sticky I'm sure.

    Sync(Boinc Projects.thread(this), Stats.thread('new projects');

    The stats pages all have links to the projects.. perhaps a small 'home' icon could be placed on each row on the index page which links to the project home ?

    Goldbach is just a waste of CPU-time atm

    Goldbach is just sending out useless UpperCase WUs en masse, to keep such a destructive project in the stats is imho a bad sign.

    It's OK for projects to do some initial testing "in the wild" with UpperCase, but after a few thousand, at most for about 1000 credits, it's just wilful stealing from other projects and it's obvious that the project is just a scam.
    Even BelgianBeer needed only ~650 credits to get it all running smooth and rightfully stopped than because nothing useful was developed. Goldbach has so far crunched nearly 600.000 of the useless stuff, 1000x of what was needed by the total amateurs of BelgianBeer.

    IMHO a stats page that includes such scam-projects isn't a good stats page.
    You can argue whether the science behind some projects is something worthwhile (imho prime search isn't worth a single CPU-second), but at least they are doing science, Goldbach is doing nothing!

    Hello and thanks for your interest on Neurona@Home.

    Please use the code

    <Code removed by Bok - PM myself or Nebojsa if you want it, I just did not want it public for anyone at all as I know they do want to limit membership somewhat while it's still beta>

    to subscribe to the project, and feel free to give the code to anyone of your team if they want to join too.

    All I am getting is

    What type of computer do I need

    Lauren I think that you need win64 and at least 4gb of memory.

    The Van Der Waerden Numbers project (vdwnumbers.org) aims to find better lower bounds for these numbers. The sequence of colors BRRBBRRB (where B is blue and R is red) does not have an evenly spaced subsequence of length 3 that are the same color. However, if you add a B to the end, you get BRRBBRRBB, which has the same color blue in positions 1,5, and 9 which are evenly spaced 4 apart. If you add an R to the end, you get BRRBBRRBR, which has R at position 3, 6, and 9. In fact, with only two colors, there is no sequence of length 9 of Bs and Rs that does not have a subsequence of 3 evenly spaced of the same color. Van der Waerden's Theorem states that for any number of colors r and length k, a long enough sequence always has an evenly spaced subsequence of the same color. The smallest length guaranteed to have an evenly spaced subsequence is called the Van Der Waerden Number and is written W(k,r). For example, W(3,2)=9. This project aims to find better lower bounds for Van Der Waerden Numbers by finding sequences like BRRBBRRB using large prime numbers with special properties.

    And it looks like stats are exported. Added.

    Bok, will it create a problem if we announce the site with URL http://123numbers.org instead of http://vdwnumbers.org/vdwnumbers?

    Some of the stat page links work but give errors in the BOINC log . But I forget what ones they are
    You would think the BOINC website would have a more complete list posted
    The Free-DC stat index gives a better list then BOINC does

    I couldn't find a thread for the GPUGrid@Home project. So I hope Bok or someone will start one.

    I have put 4 260 GTX's on GPUGrid to try and move Free-DC above the 9000 point level in the DC Vault. I am hoping that people with available Nvidia GPUs will help the team move up a position or two.

    I'm hoping we can get all DC Vault projects above the 9,000 point level.

    Sorry, all of mine are commited to stomping Laurenu2 on Milkyway in a few days. You should also know that GPUgrid has problems with the GTX260s (at least the last time I checked) and credit is lower than Collatz or Milkyway.
    19 primes found. The largest: 1351*2^617684+1 (185945 digits)

    Look under http://www.free-dc.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=137 PS3Grid/GPUGrid. The project originally ran on Playstation 3 running Linux; that's how I got my first 1.9 million on it. Then, they added support for CUDA cards; eventually they dropped the PS3 support.
