Which boinc project gives most credit

I'd be interested to hear more about your methodology in due course. Thanks for your detailed answer that provides information on both credit and science. Really helpful advice! Although not scientifically significant, cyber security is pushed along by trying to crack the current encryption standards. So important compared to things like finding the next digit of Pi or something like that nonetheless. My bad. I thought they trying to crack MD5 hash algo, that would be useless becouse MD5 is already deprecated and 'broken'.

They try to brute-force find a key for RC5 encryption algo. I worry more about someone cracking RSA asymmetric chipper, because that is the weakest link in current cybersecurity. No, they're not. There is this old encryption standard and we know a certain password exists for the one encrypted message they're trying to decrypt. We know that by the point they have tried all possible ones matching the given bit size I think it's 55 - noone uses this anymore , they will have decoded this one message.

Which tells us nothing, except that it might take equally long to brute-force decrpyt the next message of this type. But that's an information which we could easily deduce from the trial rate of the current algorithm. We don't have to actually do it to know it. Real attacks on encryption standards use other vulnerabilities, though.

Should we search for prime numbers now? The long queue is filled on a regular basis even on weekends here at GPUGrid to give work for the active hosts in order to achieve the shortest turnaround time possible. So don't expect thousands of unsent workuntis sitting in the queue. I know that the queues here are filled from time to time but POEM is officially retired since 4th October.

Let's discuss what will be the next backup project. Hopefully a Beta will be out shorty. It is a very nice project in my opinion. Otherwise, you can do Folding. As far as GPUGrid is concerned you've only had one task recently which, you aborted. In general, it is not a problem. However, Folding often has problems on multiple GPU cards in spite of their propaganda to the contrary , unless they are of identical GPU chip types.

That allows you to Fold continuously and avoid any lag on the desktop you might get from the Folding projects. But I don't do games, so don't need the GPU for that. If you do need the GPU for games, you can run Folding in screensaver mode, so that it shuts down while you are using the GPU for the desktop.

That sometimes causes some crashes on Folding, but even though were short duration and did not interrupt the work units much. That is the hitch. They don't talk to each other, so you have to do it manually. I usually devote separate machines for each GPU type. But if there are long outages on a given project not to mention any names , doing it manually may be better than nothing. Different generations work fine. This makes it run at 1.

You should learn some manners and try using the magic words. That your tasks take 6 to 9 or more hours to finish is because there are problems on your computer. You can recompile the app if you think error is in there. I don't normally post in the forums but your arrogance is astounding. We are providing you with free computing power for your project and you complain because we don't use please when asking for a better credit rate.

Your volunteers will treat you the way you treat them. And you can go stuff your magic words. Normally I have 2 goals when a project comes out. Minimum hours of run time to get a star at wuprop and minimum 1,, in credit.

It is not unusual for me to shoot for 25, 50 or ever million on a project, but it is dependent on fair credit for work done. You'll notice that I stopped running your project after reaching 1 million and it was because of the low credit. It took me over 59, cpu hours to reach that total. Unless credit is increased this trend will probably continue and you will be chasing new people as long as your project is in operation. The solution is easy, though there probably won't be a "please" attached to it.

You are aggressive. Who pays for his electricity? Who pays for his internet? Who pays for his work? There are no more enthusiasts in the world? It's all? We all make mistakes! But this pressure does not resolve the issue. Bryan I got your PM. Thank you for your detailed clarification, but they are useless to me. This is the prerogative of administrators. Please give me feedback on the increased credits.

Increase even more? Any increase in points is a good thing. Honestly I think it should be higher again. How much higher I will give you some more suggestions after I have a think, and read of the CreditNew is defined by Berkley link that you posted. I have completed over tasks so far, and will continue to support Your Project. All the best. Please note that we are NOT using credit new as explained by my multiple posts.

Also I do not want to attract much more crunchers to this project. One day maybe Ice00 or Progger imports the developed app into their server. It is running off a Banana Pi and single disk Amazing. Which model Banana Pi deserves your trust?

There are as many reasons to not follow Seti down this path as there are projects out there. The key is to not compare credits between projects but to only use them to compare your output with other computers within a project. Thanks for your reply. Basically that means that one "credit' isn't the same between one project and another, which it really should be. Credit has no monetary or other value; it's just a measure of how much work your computers have done.

The credit figures for a particular day may be distorted if a project is catching up or falling behind on validation the process or granting credit.
