That's an excellent example;
it shows that no credit system can satisfy all goals simultaneously.
Any given system will violate some goals -
the challenge is to balance the levels of violation
based on the importance of the goals.
Currently this is mostly fuzzy and subjective;
there's no official
Sounds reasonable to me. Not sure if that is what was intended.

If there is a bug, it may be in how fast the project-wide delay grows.
I've only had a couple of cycles and it's already 2.7 hours.
If there are unwarranted bug reports, it is because uploads sit at

Not exactly. We want projects that are doing better or more important science
(as judged by volunteers) to get more computing power.

If you want to get into the top f
The percentage could always be weighted with regard to the number of
participants in the project. So a standing at a larger project would
have more weight than the standing at a smaller project, and that
should take care of most of the issues.

Hi again,
The structure APP_INIT_DATA (still) contains a member called "hostid".
However, the only reference to that member in lib/app_ipc.cpp can be found in
APP_INIT_DATA::copy(), hence it seems that this member is neither written nor
parsed (anymore), right?
As I want to pass a unique host

Then "attach" to whatever projects of your choice.

This is the wrong forum for this question. There should be a question and
answer forum on each project. There is some reading that might help at
http://boinc.ssl.berkeley.edu/wiki/BOINC_Help. There are also volunteers
available through email or skype at http://boinc.berkeley.edu/help.php.

Rank is rather hopeless as a metric. I dedicate 1% of computing power to
some projects and I am in the top few. On others I dedicate 33% of
computing power and I am not in the top thousand.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am unable to download the tasks for BIONC projects.
After I have downloaded the tasks, how do I go ahead and work on them,
please let me know.
I have another query, but not related to BOINC (Sorry About that.)
I am in process of submitting my extended research paper(area of
