The only thing now, is that the project is reporting it is still down for a maintenance, when the client attempts to connect. Not sure how long this maintenance will be, though it has been many hours on now

Perhaps it suggests a trend....

Don't know if anyone took in mind the MW_GPU project. It lost around half of the users. It was nearing 1000 when I last looked and now it is around 520. Not that it matters yet, since it isn't being used.

Here is what I'm showing, like everyone else - been like this all night.

Don't knock the dudes - they're trying...

Think of the bright side, you're giving your GPU a break and your electricity might be a bit less this month....

No, immediately switched over to collatz, same as everyone else.

People keep forgetting that this is still an Alpha project, not Beta and not mainstream, it's Alpha. So is Collatz for that matter, although at the moment it's a lot more stable than here.

How do we tell? What makes it graduate to Beta and then to mainstream? To be honest I thought we would be considered at least Beta when we stopped running tests and started to actually run real work.
;-p

Well Boincstats still lists Milkyway as an Alpha project. But you raise an interesting question young Bruce! How does a project "progress" from Alpha to Beta to mainstream? What are the milestones or parameters that are used? Does the project request an upgrade from Boinc, or does Boinc award that status automatically at some arbitary point? Has any project ever been "downgraded" so to speak?

I think we should be told! :-))

Don't drink water, that's the stuff that rusts pipes

Well, in all honesty to that; my join date was in Sept 2008, which puts my time on project almost 13 months. I think about the only project I've been on which would be called "alpha" so long, would be RALPH... From a pragmatic standpoint, I'd say that it had progressed beyond alpha (on the CPU processing); however the GPU processing component is new still, so....

As of the following day, it still shows up as down ;)

Actually, it seems for the past 18 hours or more that instead of trying, they may not be aware of things.

Don't knock the dudes - they're trying...
