Hi,

we discussed this long and intensely at the SETI.Germany Board and with Members of other Teams as well, and we came to the Point that the Milkyway@home Project doesn't deserve to be supported any longer.

Our Team recommends it's Members to stop Crunching MW immediately until the faulty Credit System is corrected AND the optimised Apps are "officially" used by the Project.

Why?

The Development ot the optimised Application is highly appreciated - it gets the Projects Work done a lot faster than before.

But on the other Side it influences the BOINC Credit System in a disastrouos matter! It is absolutely disproportional in regards to other Projects.

The Project Leaders are well informed about this Issue I assume but so far nothing has changed.


I wish all here a good and pleasant Weekend.

Best Regards

Our Recommendation to our Team Members is now withdrawn. The Project has moved and changed some things, thank you MW-Team.

Cheers

I might add some things to my first Post.

I like the MW@home Project and would really like to crunch further here but - as Alex said - it's a Question of Fairness.

Sorry Sarge, I didn't demand anything - I just wanted to let everyone (and there are a few of our Team reading here) know what the Majority of the People that posted at our Board is thinking about this Issue and to what Conclusion we came.

I personally think it's shame that we need to take that Step but it is neccessary.

I don't give a Foo about those who are jumping on this thread to defense their Love of Credits. I also understand the Ones who say well, just let us crunch MW and get the Hell of Credits and back yourself out somewhere. We need such Guys as well as all others - that's Part of what makes it funny to read in Project Fora.
(To me it's just as we say in German: Does a tree care if a hog rubs at it?)

But I re-iterate my Call to the Project Admins - and I appreciate the Post at the Startpage. To me it points into a good Direction.


Best Regards and have Fun
