We will start testing the whole system on February 28, 2022. During this time, no WU will be sent out, and the website and forum will not be active.

WCG is the last project I would've thought would have work trouble. Heading over to Cosmology in the mean time.

It's not actually work trouble. They are doing the final stage of integration of IBMs system to the Krembil system. The "no work" condition will last for 2 months...seems a bit long to me.

Maybe they just don't want to get expectations up? Guess they could always restart the work early if they get through the transition sooner.
For now I moved to Universe for a bit, see how that goes since PG was erroring out for my old rigs here.

With a heavy heart we must announce to volunteers our intent to delay restarting the WCG until May 9th, 2022.

Several issues discovered in our production environment remain unresolved, making it impossible to meet the April 22, 2022 deadline at this time.

Well, that's unfortunate. I was looking forward to completing my next OP badge. I guess another 3 weeks doesn't matter.

"As we are now able to continue with testing the system we plan to reassess the earliest WCG restart date we can commit to by Thursday evening (May 12th, 2022). We will post an updated schedule to social media and to the website on the 12th."

Another week is what it said on their twitter account.

And a week from now it will be 5 more days.

I've reached 1M at Cosmology. It's time for WCG to start sending out some betas or something.

Nice work, I need to add more Cosmo.

June 3rd update says restart is now early next week. I wouldn't count on it.

Update - I'm not sure if it will hold out, but WCG started posting stats on their site today. For the first time since February I've seen hours increase toward badges. I am not sure if we will get credit for work done since February, but it is counting now. Also, the download issues seem to be much improved at this point as I rarely see any backoffs and the ones I do see clear by hitting update once.
