As I still know very little about what will happen about the new credit proposal could I please ask a few questions in the hope that others may be able to clarify the situation.
1. I assume that Seti is still using new credits. Has the trial of new credits there been considered successful? 2. Are there still problems with the proposed system or no longer? 3. Are there any plans yet to add the code for the new credits to a future Boinc server version? 4. If so, approximately when is this likely to be made available to the projects? 5. Will the use of new credits by projects be optional or compulsory (eg compulsory for any particular purpose)? 6. Will projects be able to vary any of the values in the new credit proposal in order to award credit at a higher or lower rate? Or would doing this subvert the intention of the proposal? 7. How long will CPDN need to keep its current rather nightmarish Boinc server version to allow the collection of data for the comparison of old and new credits? 8. Can anyone explain how the new proposal works? 9. I know lots of people will rush to answer this. Does anyone know how new credits would affect the credit situation at any particular project? _______________________________________________ boinc_dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ssl.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/boinc_dev To unsubscribe, visit the above URL and (near bottom of page) enter your email address.
