    DHEP (Distributed Hardware Evolution) - LIVE

    DHEP is now live and exporting stats to FreeDC. It pays well

    PROJECT HERE


    JAVA must be installed on your computer to run it.

    Wow! 2 to 2.5 week WUs.
    This will be tough with the FB sprints popping up.
    Well, I put some on for a slow burn.
    Hopefully they can be suspended now and then.

    The WU that show on your machines are actually "dummies". You can start/stop/abort them at anytime with no loss of work or credit. The WU downloads some starting parameters and starts crunching looking for a solution to a problem. If it dead ends it modifies the parameters and begins the cycle again. This process keeps repeating. If the search truly can't make any further progress it ends itself and you get another WU.

    Credit clarification: the WU phones home once an hour and reports what it has done. Right now a 2G core/thread makes around 300 credits/hour and a 3.4G thread is producing about 500 credits/hr. So you could lose that amount of credit if you shut down right before it wants to call in. When the project goes from Beta to Production the credits will be reduced to hit the goal of 175/hr for a 2G thread and 300/hr for a 3.4G thread. That will be about a 40% reduction from the current levels. Even so, it pays quite well

    Cool.
    I see both WUProp and Free-DC reporting progress now.

    Did they fix the "it freezes the entire computer" issue?

    Don't know, I've never had that problem although some have reported it. There was an issue about suspending WU that apparently caused a computer to become "laggy" to the extreme. That was fixed quite a while ago.

    Yes, the freezing/lagging was related to the verbose logging to the Windows stderr log files.
    That was fixed quite a while ago as Bryan says but anyone who still had one or more of those old WUs running could have experienced it.
    Now everyone has dumped and reloaded their WUs it is not a problem.
