2) Message boards : Number crunching : No credit for 2 days (Message 26653) Posted 9 Feb 2007 by Christian Diepold Post: But even if they changed the update time only recently, still, there should have been awarded credits in the last two days. So I guess that there indeed are some problems with a sever/sheduler/validator/what-have-you. I sent in trickles in the last 2 days (http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=6382850) but as far as I can see, those from the 7th and 8th didn\'t get credited yet (Neither 9th, but that\'s normal due to the 24h update policy). So, what gives?

What is it about cheating, theft, and violating the CPDN license agreement under which we all run these Models, that you don\'t understand? I won\'t go into a argument with you here, but you should keep in mind that I never said I ran a CPDN model on somebody else\'s PC, I talked about Folding@Home. x_x

This is made quite clear in the license agreement. And was part of the reason why SETI went to BOINC; there were too many people looking for ways to cheat. 1: Hm, ok, but I don\'t get it. I mean, is the address set in stone? If you told the people who do the uni course and their instructors to just a different address to attach to. Or would that violate some contract/agreement about the uni courses? Sorry, but to me it sounds so bureaucratic, if you know what I mean. :-) 2: Well you know, back then he was my sister\'s boyfriend and I was in charge of keeping his gaming rig working ... so that was \"my payment\" for my work. But yes, I get the point about the illegal stuff, although I wouldn\'t call that cheating, just \"progressive workforce acquisition\" ;-)

About 3 years ago I set up Folding@Home on a friend\'s machine (he didn\'t and doesn\'t know) and ever since then, it has been sending in results - if it was CPDN Classic, it would be the same. I haven\'t seen that PC ever since. But exactly because of these forgotten PCs AND the UniCourse people I asked if the cred transformation from classic to BOINC was a one time only thing or will be repeated in the future! And btw, a pretty easy way would be to change the server address for CPDN classic. In that way, only active crunchers and UniCourse folks would attach to that new address, the forgotten PC would just run out of work and lay dormant.

Will they be added to the CPDN overall creds as well or was that a one time merge between Classic and BOINC? Just to bring this up again, \'cause I think it was lost in the conversation. :-)
