21) Message boards : Questions and problems : Keeping team ownership safe (Message 20518)

Having reading about the theft of teams on various projects like what was posted in Stolen Team. I have a few suggesting to keep team ownership safe.

1. The founder has a has to enter a password to confirm removal of a member or when deleting the team.

2. The founder can nominate a deputy founder, and both the founder and deputy founder both need to confirm deletions.
The founder can change the deputy founder, but only when there are more than one deputy.

3. Sending an email to the founders email address, and the founder clicks a link to confirm the deletions.

Yes, but only if it's an nVidia card. ATI isn't supported.
See GPUGrid for more info on testing this version of BOINC. No other projects use the GPU yet, none that I know of have a working application at least.


Thanks for the info...I also learn that I had boinc installed wrong...after visiting GPUGrid.

Not a bad request, I like it even. ;-)
But you do know that the applications running under BOINC use the lowest possible priority, so they should give way to all other programs running at a higher priority?



I think this is something that should be implemented into the GPU version of Boinc...

Okay...I know GPUGRID.net & Folding@home can crunch work units using CUDA enabled graphics cards...

But are there any other projects that can use the power of a GPU...?

I have a Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz and also Nvidia 8800GT. I have just installed Boinc client 6.3.10 which has detected a CUDA device. So now I have a Coprocessor: Device Emulation (CPU) (1), which seems to to have slightly increased my processing time.

Someone tell me that I am right about this? That my GPU is being used as a Coprocessor? YES, NO, or other?
26) Message boards : Teams : Team names problem (Message 18897)

Not sure if anyone can help. I created my team name on various projects "HM Courts-Service", but it seems that some of the projects do not like the "-" between Courts & Service. So now I have 2 teams. Does antone know how to combine the teams?
