Dear SmookinJoe,

Volunteers like you are helping researchers all over the world tackle some of the most challenging humanitarian and public health issues of our time.

It's been more than 330 days since we received any research results from your registered device(s). We hope you'll start contributing again. And you can contact us at support@worldcommunitygrid.org for help.

We hope you can start contributing again soon!

The World Community Grid team
 
I responded...
Hi
Funny you should say that
I tried to earlier this year and WCG has been making an upgrade and has failed to use my services.
Had to add Rosetta@home and Denis@home to get any work.
I am using Boinc Manager
Feel free to advise me if I need to make changes to my setup.(Rosetta and Denis seem to be working fine so it leads me to believe it is on your end)
Thanks for reach out.
I am here.
Joe
It will be interesting if they respond..and how soon..
I will let you know if anything happens

It is definitely in the manager bill1024.
I will check your recommendations and see if I can make a difference.
Thanks

Been crunching WCG all day and I just read this tonight...lol
They miss me
What do you think..two word response?..
I'm Back!...lol

I haven't sent the email because I don't really feel I am Back..
When I look at the advanced view, projects pane I see this

WCG was running but, it doesn't show much was accomplished. Rosetta seems to be hogging the computer..lol
Not that there is anything wrong with that..
Going to setup a few other computers with Boinc this morning, but only with WCG and see what happens...
 

Can't add WCG Project to another computer..
WCG website having unknown login error
nother time!

I think they celebrated a bit too soon. Downloading tasks is worse than pulling teeth.

It figures 🤣 the sprint is over think I’ll crunch some WCG and the tasks don’t want to DL ☹️

SIGH!

bcavnaugh
Still Down

I KNOW!...


So, my responding email was...
 
I'm Back...
but yer not!
😉
 
HeHe...I'm terrible..lol
(without the I'm terrible part...that is still our secret...lol)

I think Krembil's problem is they need to upgrade their ISP from AOL dial-up to Verizon FIOS gb. service!!!
That dial up 14.4k service connection they have is not cutting it.

On another computer
Installed Boinc and added one project...WCG
"No work available to process"
 
It is a gpu folding computer and WCG is set for cpu only
I have removed and added WCG a few times with no change.

Looks like it’s going to take some more time to work through this.
Their web page was down but they have that up again. I hope they can figure this out
I wasn’t getting any tasks either. They will figure it out at some point.

Appreciate you letting me know...it isn't just me...

Okay I get the message. Boinc will go on another folder, tonight.
It will have Sidock!
😉

Why does this remind me of when I wanted to adopt a dog at the city pound?...
I don't think SI dock gets the idea of a volunteer...
I'm out!
Not interested...

bill1024
Crunch_4Science is the code
They do that to try to keep bots out

I'm a Bot?
...
Maybe I will change my mind tomorrow...
Thanks for letting me know
