Any encouraging words on when more WUs will be coming our way? :)

Harumph! Seems my CPU cache was always "Full" when requesting tasks from Minecraft. I suspended all running CPU tasks, and sure enough, got lots of Xoroshigo2 WUs downloaded! Bugger! :)

boysanic,
resource_share is 90
no_ati is 1
all the others are 0

<venue name="work">
<resource_share>90</resource_share>
<no_cpu>0</no_cpu>
<no_ati>1</no_ati>
<no_cuda>0</no_cuda>
<no_intel_gpu>0</no_intel_gpu>
<project_specific>
<apps_selected>
<app_id>7</app_id>
<app_id>8</app_id>
<app_id>10</app_id>
<app_id>11</app_id>
<app_id>12</app_id>
</apps_selected>
<allow_non_preferred_apps>1</allow_non_preferred_apps>
</project_specific>
</venue>

so as i read this, no work for ati selected (because i don't have any ati cards) and all the rest are allowed.

I hope this isn't hijacking this thread, but..
I can't get any Xoroshigo2 WUs to download to my Windows machines. They are running Windows 10, latest patches. I am able to get GPU WUs. Did I miss something in the chats (like I have to run Windows 11)? I can get Xoroshigo2 WUs to download and run on my Linux virtual machines (Ubuntu) just fine (running on the Windows machines). 4 Computers - no WUs of this type (CPU). I know I've checked CPU work in preferences; otherwise, I wouldn't be getting Linux WUs. Suggestions welcome. Answers - even better! :)

Just one opinion, but I think you're pretty close to right on with that value. Others may have a different opinion :)

Based on some preliminary numbers, you may want to look at the points/WU awarded (compared to Find seeds with zero villages within a radius)

(You just KNEW this was going to come up :))

No worries. My comments were tongue-in-cheek anyway :)

Well, I got 5 tasks! Pretty good for no tasks being generated. :) They are, however, all stuck in "Completed, waiting for validation" status. And the run time was 17 secs. combined for all 5 tasks. :)

Really glad to hear that (badges) and "we" appreciate the gesture.

I'm receiving WUs for my LINUX virtual machines, and they seem to be running to completion successfully (albeit very slowly, which is to be expected). I haven't received any WUs on my Windows boxes yet, though, which I find a bit strange.

Unfortunately, all 1.04 tasks are erroring out on my Linux virtual machines.

My apologies, boysanic, I don't have the information for exporting to BOINCStats. Hopefully, someone a little more experienced in that area can help. You might also consider contacting another project's admin that does export there.
