Duke the menace

[Duke of Buckingham]

I am tired of pushing the update button and looking for apps or cc_configs all the time.

BOINC community was made for people that WANT TO HELP but have NO SPECIAL SKILLS to do it. Some projects and project administrators are making of BOINC a real hell, a big confusion of choices and options.

It is for the projects and their administrators to give the best options to RUN BOINC on CPU or GPU. I dont intend to give lessons for people that are here for so many years but the reallity is that BOINC is getting worst for the common users day by day.

Of each 10 persons that come to help, 8 just go away, it is not that there are less people with the intention to help, if that was true we shouldnt have people working on SETI anymore because SETI is a basic project that people just download and IT WORKS.

There are projects that just dont work except if we push the update button or have the right apps, download the effective libraries, or look for a good cc_config, it is too much for the common user that just want to HELP.

Afterall does BOINC needs help or not because this way looks that we are doing a favor to the projects running them. It is time for administrators look for solutions to make the projects run on THE MOST SIMPLE WAY.

I agree, if BOINC wants users, the need to keep things as simple and easy as possible. I can usually manage to get things to work but I'm not as good at this stuff as I used to be... I've forgotten way too much.
