I don`t know about MW, but I get news items from Aqua, PrimeGrid and Moo! Wrapper too.(Apart of Seti & WCG)
So could well be, that other projects don`t use this feature.

2) Message boards : News : DOUBLE CREDITS Fundraiser - Request for Funding for MilkyWay@home (Message 50131)

ANOTHER APOLOGY TO MILKYWAY !
(and off topic, I know)

We had a discussion on a projects`board about creating a list of projects using or not using CreditNew. It was never my attempt to bash any project, especially not Milkyway because I really like Travis and his way of running the project. This list was supposed to be strictly informal.

While "googling" for results on this case, I stumbled over this link : Thread

Not long after that I received a PM from Blurf, in which he asked me to stop bashing Milkyway.

And here is my mistake: Travis TESTED CreditNew, but IS NOT USING it !!!

My apologies to Travis, the project, and the whole community. This was false information at its worst !

I know that I`m off topic here, but I guess that a lot more people read the news section, and therefore this info is spreaded as wide as possible. If the mods decide to move it, then please do so !

Again my deepest regret, and SORRY that I posted before verifying the info !

What the servers (and the people behind the project) need
is to see a more positve attitude from those who hammer
them. ;-)) Call it respect - call it patience -
call it trust. But a positive view Always makes things better -
And if it doesnt actually "fix" the problems here - at least
it will show we are here to Contribute - not to Receive.

When MW works, I`ll crunch with what I have atm -

Good Luck to you Travis! ;-)

I'm with you 100% on this......

Believe it or not Arion, so are 95% of the people here ...........

I am joining in, too... :-)

So long Travis, nothing more to say................

It seems like the credits granted start low and increase to about normal (or pre-outage) levels after a few WUs are reported. At least now the results are staying up a little longer than the last couple of restarts so we can see them a little more easily.

I´ve noticed it, too.

Now I´m granted 12.5 credits for 418 sec.

Travis must be testing us...to see if we're paying attention. ;)

^

hehe......he did a good job on that !!

They seem to be crunching fine, but the credits ahve dropped again.
57355 just gave me 4.57 credits for 694.77 seconds on an Athlon 64 3200+ (back to 23.68 credits/hour from 108)

Yes, they are doing fine, I suppose.

Credit is now : 4.53 for 418 sec. on Intel q6600

Before the crash it was : 18.12 for 605 sec. on same rig.

But nevertheless : THANK YOU, TRAVIS !

yeah. our s**t is broke to f**k. hopefully we'll get it working in the next day or two.

*edit*

i guess when a moderator posts, they don't edit stuff. i put some stars in there for the faint of heart.

Travis, just take it easy ! It`s not that World War III started, or the planet
is breaking apart - I`m convinced that you`ll make it go eventually, and as
soon as the project is up again, we all will be here to continue. ( Yes, me
too - I finally have an opt. app. for Windows ! )

All The Best !

Kurt
