Thanks for the information and your work on Free-DC, Skillz. I can imagine it's a lot of work. And now that we are seemingly down to only BoincStats and Free-DC for viewing stats, we should do what we all can to keep them running. Is the donation page still functioning, I'd be happy to spare a few dollars via paypal, to help with your costs. It looks like the button is leading to "BoincGames" recipient though. |

Thanks Dave. I had that guy on my ignore list. I did skim through the thread. Maybe there will be a solution in time. Until then I can make do with an older version of Boinc or just use BoincManager. |

BoincTasks wont connect to 8.2.4 for some reason. Even though I set up gui_rpc_password, and try to connect to localhost with BoincTasks with the correct password. Anyone else experience this? BoincManager connects just fine to localhost, and service status shows boinc-client running. |

It's always best to use the same e-mail address, for all projects. Otherwise you'd get the dreaded "split CPID", where your stats don't align, or show up on same account. |

What is the difference between: http://stats6.free-dc.org/ and http://stats.free-dc.org/ I also get the certificate error on stats6, but not on regular URL. |

Message 115438 Posted 14 Feb 2025 by cadbane |
It would probably be a better idea to print/make some flyers which you could ask if the library allows to have lying on their desk. Such a flyer could explain in simple terms what Boinc is and how it works, so people would get interested in running it at home. I also doubt that libraries would allow foreign programs to run on their computers. |

In reply to Jord's message of 17 Oct 2024:Having said we don't remove accounts, I checked the list of users earlier and found it was taken over by spammers, so I sent a note to David Anderson. He's deleted those accounts, but is now also doing a purge on accounts that were made over the years but that have no posts to them. These number over a million and are just taking up database space and resources. That explains it. Thanks, Jord. |

I had to recreate my account here, since it was deleted recently. I had not posted here yet, and the account was maybe a month old. So I wonder if accounts with no posts get deleted automatically after a while? I don't post much, only use it to keep track of threads I have visited, and follow. |
