Hi,

I've created a second BOINC account but not on purpose (long story), how do I delete it?


You cant. Only the project admin can delete it.
43) Message boards : Server programs : server_status.php Issues (Message 60075)
Posted 3 Feb 2015 by rebirther
Post:
Hi all,

I'm setting up a new project at the moment and have had some difficulty with the recent server_status.php file. Namely, this error appears at the top of the page (project/server_status.php);

"Notice: Undefined index: host in /home/boincadm/projects/sr5/html/user/server_status.php on line 266 Notice: Undefined index: host in /home/boincadm/projects/sr5/html/user/server_status.php on line 280 Notice: Undefined index: host in /home/boincadm/projects/sr5/html/user/server_status.php on line 292"

The result being that when I have daemons running on the server, the status page says they are not running, a confusing issue!

From this thread (http://srbase.myfirewall.org/sr5/forum_thread.php?id=72&postid=273#273) I established I wasn't the only one having issues and it wasn't necessarily server side issues, but more BOINC code issues. I went through the github repository and grabbed this version of the server_status.php file (https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/blob/client_release/7/7.4/html/user/server_status.php) and everything works perfectly.

I'm new to the forum/development community on here and figured this was the best place to put this update/"question" - I apologize beforehand if it isn't!

I was just putting this out there in case anyone else had the same issue, and if so they solved it using a different method, and also to alert the developers in case they were unaware. :)


Yes, the new server_status page isnt useful. Run an older version and all is ok. We have used it also at Bitcoin Utopia.

There is a problem with a change in IP address to DS-Tunnel from my provider at SRBase. I need more time to figure out how to get it running again.

Working together with the Mersenne CRUS project and trying to solve all Riesel/Sierpinski Bases up to 1030.

The server is running with a dyndns address. If your antivirus program is blocking the site exclude it.

Bitcoin Utopia site is unreachable...not home so I don't know the status of uploads/downloads


Yes, I have no solution yet.

Edit:

It seems that the hoster has some problems with DNS. A ticket was opened.


It's up


The main address is still not working. For windows users there is a solution with hosts file, add this line:

85.10.198.237 www.bitcoinutopia.net

We have launched a crowdfunding campaign: ‘JustFoldIt, a new BOINC tool to promote research in biomedicine’ .

In order to carry out the study, and given the restrictions on expenses that exist in the scientific field today, we have launched the first crowdfunding campaign to raise 3500 euros in 60 days. If the amount is not reached within the 60 days, the money will be returned to donors and the project will not go ahead.

For more information and/or to donate, please follow this link.

ok, already posted in forum, could be a problem with the current WU serie.

Sorry to post this here but the anti-spam filter for NFS catches *ANYTHING* I try to post whether it's in their forums or by PM. Something's wrong with their filter.

Posted 7 Oct 2014 by rebirther
Post:
I'm a project administrator. How can to disable some hosts from getting workunits?
The problem is that those hosts return empty outputs and I want to disable them until we resolve this problem. At the sample_assimilator generates numerous errors (because of empty outputs) and stops processing other WUs. I'm using boinc-wrapper.


Change in hosts table the max_jobs_per_day to -1.

Posted 30 Apr 2014 by rebirther
Post:
I have two suggestions for the backlog time:

1. maintainance time should be reduced from 60min to 15min
2. for computation errors, dont raise the time for every WU error, if you have good results too all cores went idle, waiting to get new work. To avoid that problem is the daily quota for bad results.

forum.post_min_total_credit is only used by database changes. Thats user unfriendly. Its better to have an automatic system where new user accounts get the credits total needed from the setup defined or in the webinterface somewhere updating all users with a new value.

web: lets project admins delete posts and threads

Spam needs to be deleted, not hidden.
Add buttons for deleting posts and threads.
For now, these are available only to admins
(ADMIN, DEV, SCIENTIST privileges).


Yes, thx for forwarding this!

Posted 16 Apr 2014 by rebirther
Post:
But hiding the posts and/or threads does already exactly that. It deletes the posts, or hides them from view of non-moderation personnel, and does so without altering the database much. It sets visibility from 1 to 0.

So in that case, I don't understand the request.
Yes, hidden posts stay visible for the moderation team. But they've got their own icon and all, as such


With more spam postings it is confusing to read as mod. I want completely removed them.

Post:
OK, I did forward the request to David.
However, I personally do not think it's a good idea to have the option available for moderators, only for administrators. And then probably only from the HtmlOps screen.

And coming with a big fat blinking warning that posts/threads removed this way cannot come back after removal (without putting a backup back).


Yes, I mean delete postings, the admin should have an option to give a mod permissions to delete posts like in a phpbb forum without altering the database directly.

Because of the main problem of spam starting in all forums now we need a button where we can remove postings and not hidden all (for mods and admins).
60) Message boards : Questions and problems : Can bitcoin miner be used to contribute to BOINC? (Message 53590)
Posted 11 Apr 2014 by rebirther
Post:
Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but my bitcoin miner is virtually useless for mining bitcoins any longer.

Is its computing power of any use to BOINC? I've used some old boxes for SETI@Home for years, and I was wondering if my new paperweight can be put to some valuable use.

I purchases the hardware from Butterfly Labs. I can't find the 5GH/s (gigahash per second, a bitcoin measure of velocity) model, but it basically looks like the 10GH/s model on their current website.


If you want to use some performance/Watt miner try out Bi Fury USB with 5+ GH/s, around 5W. The computing power has not any use to BOINC but you can run the Bitcoin Utopia Project (using BOINC) for mining litecoins and others except bitcoins for different crowdfunding projects.
