1) Message boards : Number crunching : 0 new tasks, Rosetta? (Message 99566) Posted 4 Nov 2020 by KWSN Ekky Ekky Ekky Post: Once more into the jobless breach, dear friends...... Everything said to be working but nothing being sent down the lines yet again.
2) Message boards : Number crunching : 0 new tasks, Rosetta? (Message 99451) Posted 31 Oct 2020 by KWSN Ekky Ekky Ekky Post: It would be nice if the Project were to actually post something- such as they are shutting down for an extended period & why. Or they are having issues, and are working on them. Not much good them finally coming back with some work to process, and everyone has left for other projects. No real surprise that the number of participants keeps falling. The end of Seto brought a pile of new people but most seem to have bailed because of lack of work and lack of response or explanation.
3) Message boards : News : Outage notice (Message 99353) Posted 20 Oct 2020 by KWSN Ekky Ekky Ekky Post: And the lack of information about what is going on is, as usual, distressing.
4) Message boards : Number crunching : Problems and Technical Issues with Rosetta@home (Message 97567) Posted 24 Jun 2020 by KWSN Ekky Ekky Ekky Post: The Rosetta deadlines are beyond silly. People are crunching and losing time after time. I am not complaining about work that take "two weeks" but three days. I keep one alleged day of work but when Rosetta's unrealistic times are always vastly shorter than the actual time it takes, it is ridiculous. Then to reject a result because it is out of such a daft short time is to be frankly insulting. I do note the very large number of people who have left and continue to leave the project and it does not surprise me in the least. It has to be time to rething some things and that includes the three day time limit.

" Is there any sesible reason for sauch a short time? Spending lots of time crunching is pointless if a task is "Completed, too late to validate". Seems more like an insult to people donating their time to then slap them in the face.
6) Message boards : Number crunching : Discussion on increasing the default run time (Message 96135) Posted 5 May 2020 by KWSN Ekky Ekky Ekky Post: The runtime limitations make things more than silly, to my very limited mind. Running Seti@home presented no such problems: if it took longer than expected, it was fine, but such short termism is driving me nuts. I may well join the great exodus if things are not managed better for us humble crunchers.

Got some tasks now, though nothing for NVIDIA yet. It's CPU only, so that may explain it ;) Thank you very much. Newbie ignorance!

I am not getting any work at all. Why not?
