There has been a change in the runtime estimation algorithm and therefore high credits are granted. This will be only during this week. Throughout the week we will reduce the credits for the high yielding workunits again and again.

Again, glad I already got my 10M. :D
Go for you 25M then. Looks like it's only a little over (2) 4 hour ATI WU's to get there...Quote:

According to a few threads in their forum, the ATI WU's are scarce.Quote:

Here we go again with the saga of too much credit. Somebody (?DA) or the credit police must be wielding a big stick and are threatening projects if they go above a certain credit limit. Personally projects that give and take away credit are placed in the lower end of projects to crunch in my book...
We're talking about 11 Million Credits for 1 40 Min Wu, a Tad to much I think ... ;)
I am out of place here, it is my bad... I should not have opened my mouth before knowing the circumstances. In this case, I agree, but what made me see red is the way the RSS read, we will reduce the credit time and time again.
Something that happens every now and then with Admins with English as a second language. When I read it, I didn't think they meant would be touching the ones that got god-awful-huge credits, just tuning the process for the subsequent ones. ;)Quote:

I'd be happy to just get a wu. I upgraded to 7.0.15 and still nothing.
BOINC Project Updater set to check every few minutes.Quote:

What is the mandatory server back off when you ask for a task? Default is 7 seconds, but they may have changed it. In any case, set BPU to back off + 2 seconds. That should do it.Quote:

I can't edit the BPU from the edit menu to use exactly 2min 7 seconds as it always crashes. But it does allow me to edit the number in the main window by saying '2.12' for the time. That actually comes out to 2min 7secs. The log entries haven't changed.
I never see a message about backoff time for poem.
This is what mine looks like:Quote:

It may be that I have more stuff turned on in my cc_config.xml to show me that. In any case, why are you setting it to 2 min 7 sec? Set it to 0 min 9 seconds, or .15 minutes in BPU.
Lol, I didn't set it that low because I thought maybe it would be spamming them too much. But it's now set at .15. Thanks for your help!Quote:
