Posted 13 Dec 2018 by ![]() Post: I think you certainly deserve to be paid for your efforts. Talented IT people should not be expected to work for free. But this is a volunteer project for all of us. Should not the University of Warsaw, or the Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences be supporting you? Yes, some institution should pick up this project and get it funded. Until today I thought this was run by an institution, not just one person. |

Posted 12 Dec 2018 by ![]() Post: As you know, I'm working on Universe@Home for some years now. I was also one of creators and admins of Radioactive@Home project and few another BOINC projects. I agree with the other post. What will the funds go towards? New server hardware? Procuring more data? Advancing the software apps? Hosting fees? I like to help out when I can, but to make a broad request from users contributing electricity costs and hardware resources without knowing where the funds go makes me less likely to do so. |

Posted 6 Nov 2018 by ![]() Post: I just loaded this project several days ago but no files will download to any of my machines running BOINC. I have a large number of them but they have been PENDING for days now. Is the entire project down? Doubt it - I've been getting tasks all day - https://universeathome.pl/universe/results.php?userid=48365 server status is good - https://universeathome.pl/universe/server_status.php Do you have your preferences set right? To use all applications? I only get BHspin tasks, and no problems getting work all day. |
