Hey,

A discussion regarding a potential 4th generation BOINC credit system has begun over at the official BOINC message boards: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/dev/forum_thread.php?id=10953&sort_style=&start=0

Cross posting here to draw attention to the thread (doing so on all BOINC project message boards).

I'd appreciate some input on the matter.

Thanks :)

I miss those good old days crunching SETI@Home "classic" (pre-BOINC). 1 WU = 1 point.

Somebody mentioned in that thread about the WCG CPU-time "credit". 1 CPU hour and what not. I think adding this to BOINC (without getting rid of the current credit system) would do wonders.

Whatever they come out with this time around hopefully considers at least RAM usage tho.
