It disappeared into the ether without a trace along with all our computations and "personal" information. I woke up one morning and completed task were not uploading, days past turning into weeks... and still nothing. BOINCStats "retired" the project from active project listings on 2021-09-18.

And what is this "personal" info you speak of? Login Name, email address, password, etc... When a project or web site disappears into the ether without a trace who know what they or someone else could do with the information they have gathered on the users of the project or website. Worst-case is the information gets placed on the black market/ dark web for sale. ID: 107260 · Reply Quote

Some people use same login/username and password information for almost everything on the internet to make it easy to remember. I am not worried because my BOINC info is not used elsewhere on the internet. ID: 107262 · Reply Quote

I can get CPU work (N-Body), but the GPU work (Separations) is very limited; a few come in, but not enough. ID: 107353 · Reply Quote

Homepage says: Project end I have no time to manage correctly the project. So the work generation has been stopped and the project will be offline in a few days. 8 Mar 2022, 5:47:55 UTC :'( ID: 107479 · Reply Quote
