1) Message boards : News : bootstrap style (Message 923) Posted 31 Dec 2016 by Steve Hawker* Post: In the boinc server a bootstrap style is currently under development. For test purposes I deployed it here in yafu, just to see how it looks like. yoyo Seems to have full functionality from what I have seen and used so far. Conan seems to have lost almost all functionality on IE on Win 7: no link to my account no links to stats, apps etc.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Status frozen (Message 852) Posted 13 May 2016 by Steve Hawker* Post: The server allows only 4 Wus to be on your host. So this is fine. The 8t task you get only if you have at least 8 cores available for boinc. yoyo At last!! The explanation. And I assume 16t is for 16+ cores?
3) Message boards : Number crunching : Server Status frozen (Message 850) Posted 12 May 2016 by Steve Hawker* Post: I think the issue is your 7 days buffer. In fact it is not a buffer it is an intervall how often you connect to the internet. If you set it to 7 days you will not get work, because the deadline is only 2 days. So please set it to 1 day and the additional buffer days to much more. I now have only 4 WUs active, they will finish in 3 hours or less. I have buffer set to 1 day with additional set to 7 days.

Next I'll try removing / reattaching. That didn't work either. Guess I'm not destined to crunch 8t tasks.

Have you disabled an application? which is your hostid? yoyo I'm trying to get 8t and 16t tasks on http://yafu.myfirewall.org/yafu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=11769 I have a 7 day buffer but only enough work in the cache for 5 days, so plenty of room.

6) Message boards : Number crunching : Granting of credits (Message 674) Posted 2 Aug 2014 by Steve Hawker* Post: No I'm not sure. I don't really understand how creditnew is working. Neither does Berkeley. In fact, no-one does. I no longer crunch here due to CreditNew. I'm sure I'm not alone. I just popped in because credit is the topic du jour and someone mentioned YAFU. Yoyo, you do so much for the crunching community, why not do what Slicker has done at Collatz and reject CreditNew?
7) Message boards : News : Android App available: Tester needed (Message 596) Posted 22 Oct 2013 by Steve Hawker* Post: well the answer is no. Manually attached this host http://yafu.dyndns.org/yafu/show_host_detail.php?hostid=7497 running nativeBoinc as device has no battery so can't run Boinc. No tasks sent yet though. Let's see how it goes. Set your account to run test apps. I'm running NativeBOINC because the official app is, ahem, sub-optimal. Tasks seem to last a couple of minutes, btw.
