Can we get a response on this Android Ver 4.1 error thread from a moderator or Admin so that we know that someone is working on the issue ?

Thanks

As I've said before, my main concern is that it taints the results. Any results reported out of Rosetta@home have to be replicated because it all feels like preliminary work.

How exactly does the fact, that the project has not always enough work for everyone anything to do with the quality of the results? Apparently they got the amount of results they need for the current tasks and are not in hurry to release the next batch. That's their choise, we don't know why and I'm fine with that. The fact, that they don't generete more WUs than they need just to satisfy some people thinking only about their RAC, does not make it feel "like preliminary work", but quite the opposite. New work is available now btw.



Best not to ask questions. They've had the same issue which really comes down to their system and how they use it, but want the scientists to change the project to fix the issues. It has been suggested that maybe this is not the project for them but yet they keep coming back. Best bet, just ignore what they have to say as none of it is based upon any facts.


I agree completely. Rosetta is a fine, long standing, professional project providing a valuable resource to the scientific community.

Posted 9 Feb 2018 by Profile Bill F
Post:
The MAC BOINC client does not update itself. The new version is developed and tested by BOINC developers, Once it has been tested by the developer it is released to a group of volunteer testers who are willing to try to break it. If and when it passes that round of testing it is put forward as a improved version for release to the BOINC community at large as a new Recommended version.

After it is out world wide for a couple weeks it is usually pretty bullet proof.

Of course you have to download the version that matches your hardware and OS level.

This is the version of BOINC Client that you load / loaded on your Mac back then. As it is a manually loaded app by the User there is no Auto update.

BOINC 7.8.6 for Mac OS is now available on the primary BOINC Download Site:

https://boinc.berkeley.edu/download_all.php

From Charlie Fenton ...

This is a release for Macintosh only; there are no changes from 7.8.3, 7.8.4 or 7.8.5 affecting the code for any other platform. It fixes a couple of Mac-only bugs in 7.8.5:
* Reliably installs the BOINC screensaver (unless asked not to do so.)
* Fixes a bug which could prevent determining the correct size of RAM when run on versions of OS X older than OS 10.11.

Can the selection process of "The User of the Day" be adjusted to require an Average Credit on some project or on Rosetta to be greater than zero ?

Today's User of the day has a Zero Average across 10 Projects.

Thanks

Post:
Badges for recognition of levels of work completed can be a positive recognition of work completed and machines committed. This is a form of positive feedback for volunteers who do not work for coins but only for science.

Thanks
