Pirates has work!

[STE\/E]

You can only get tasks once an hour. Don't suspend your other projects. At the very least, set their resource share to 0.

They have a 1 Hour Backoff because people were running Scripts to hog all the Wu', now if you manually Update the Project before the Hour is up you won't get any work plus your re-set to 1 Hour afgain before you can get any more work.

I suspended the other projects to get the Pirates WUs to work then, and not wait for the others to finish up. Once they start running, I resume the projects.

I set Pirates to a 1000 resource share with the other projects at 100. I was told that would help with getting Pirates with a full queue of other projects. Full meaning 1/2 to 3/4 of a day worth of WUs to run.

I just updated the "amount" of work from .25 days to 2 days. Maybe it would give me more than 1 WU per core each time I see it in my queue.

EDIT:
Just got 2 more WUs.
Do they always take about a minute to run [or is it just doing that now]?

is still showing the same figure of 8 WUs available, as it did the last time I posted a reply to this thread [above].

Yep. They don't do much of anything. The project is mainly to test new server and client features. They have (had?) really good documentation on setting up a project (http://www.spy-hill.net/~myers/help/...ct.html#server) which I believe was also a reason for the project generating WUs at times. Now I think they just enable it once in a while for kicks. There is almost always work on April Fools Day and "Act like a pirate day".

The current tasks are the "yello" ones. If you click the graphic button while they're running, you'll get a window that is Yellow.

PS. The graphic works in Linux.

Graphics Button? I have Ubuntu and do not know about a graphics button.

It was brought to my attention from one of our friends on the China team that Pirates is requiring an invite code to join. I found this in their forum and at least the first one worked for our friend. If you are in need of a code, try one of these. blunderbuss and !grog4U .

Are they actually sending out work? I assume persons who have already created an account are still good to go?

I hate it when multiple dormant projects come back to life at the same time.

Yeah your right, the Box is just showing up as a URL waiting to Attach, all the rest of my Box's are Attached though ...
