Strange, New users and hosts everyday but overall average crunch power remains at approx 39 Tflop wonder why?

Well, for one, there are many people such as your self that have a lot of interests, and they work on one project for a while, then move to another. New projects come online, your interests change, etc. and the projects you crunch for evolves over time.

Another reason is folks like Ethan. I was unable to find the reference, but he's got scores of machines that are reloaded nightly. He's placed BOINC and Rosetta on the load master image and so each night there are scores of "new hosts" which are really just the newly loaded images connecting to the project and being assigned a new host ID.

Here is a link to a graph (third one down) which shows the number of ACTIVE hosts on Rosetta:
http://www.boincstats.com/stats/project_graph.php?pr=rosetta&view=hosts
The graph seems to illustrait that the project is large enough now that you will have to attract 100s of new users each day just to break-even with the ones that leave.

Over time though, hopefully, more and more people will realize that these are worthy projects and they will do great things for mankind.

That is an interesting observation, the project seems to reach a certain state of equilibrium. Seems like other projects have a similar experience, of course, which makes sense. Just to maintain equilibrium is a worthy goal, and hopefully with news, publicity, the You Tube promotional piece, etc., the equilibrium can be kicked up a few notches! :)

I'd really help if the educational piece with the schools was completed. It would be a class unit that teacher's could teach and then the school's computers are set loose on Rosetta. This will be high school/grade school biology/science, I think.

Sounds like paydirt is already aware, but the project team is already working on a curriculum for science teachers to do just that. See Dr. Baker's post here. Hopefully inspires greater interest in math and science amongst the students.

There was problems with downloading work.

Se this link https://boinc.bakerlab.org/rosetta/forum_thread.php?id=3036

Should be on 40 + soon.

Yes, Ian Davis is joining out team to do just this. He is starting fulltime in a month or two, but meanwhile we are interacting with several ongoing teacher training programs in Seattle.

Look at the work done... Almost 46 TeraFlops...

This is excellent for the project, congratulations.

Any ideas why there is an increase lately in the TFlops the last few days? The only thing I can think of off hand is that there are a bunch more new users to boinc in the same period. Not sure why though.

ESL getting 2nd wind =P

http://www.boincstats.com/stats/team_graph.php?pr=rosetta&id=5236

When you read "Credits last 24h : 4,645,204" And half a million from this is generated from the ESL team - thats over 10%, and mainly contributed from total new users.

I think it's more important to acknowledge everyones contribution, large or small, they are all equally important and valuable.

Well i wasnt making a statement about whos contribution is more valueable or less, just stating, where the rise came from... tho I have to say, that how ESL brought new users to Rosetta deserves big respect.

All contributors whether an individual with a single computer or thousands of people with thousands of computers deserve respect ESL included but certainly not exclusively. I don't think they deserve any more or less of an acknowledgement for their contribution than anyone else.

I've mever seen this before, I wanted to post a screenshot, but since it's at that level for a few hours now, i didn't.

I'm not sure where I read this, but a while ago someone posted that only at 50 Tflops Rosetta could unfold it's real potential.

Actually, I thought I read that it was more like 150 TFlops, but that was ages ago. Perhaps I might be wrong on this. I have many times thought that if BOINC could get maybe 1 to 1.5 million crunchers consistently crunching, I think the idea could really realize its potential for all of the projects. I have many times wondered how to get from here to there though.
