    Re: Surveill@Home

    It's working again. Still only for non-ATI machines.

    FWIW, with alpha projects, I always select all sub-projects. You can never tell which will be issuing work. Of course, you are taking a risk with any new/alpha project. So go in knowing that you will likely have crunching time wasted or lost, credits could be reset or never exported, or it could even mess with the other sustaining projects you are also crunching. Expect things go wrong, and credit loss.

    With that in mind, wouldn't it be worth it to run alphas in a VM? So if it crashes, or does something very bad, then no harm to your whole system?

    There site is really slow. My guess is that either the server isn't big enough or else it uses too much network bandwidth.

    Re: Surveill@Home

    They claim they are limiting it because of DOS concerns (see below).

    But the real question: Did everyone get their account created while it was still open? I am SURE everyone did, after this was discussed ad nausea, and very recently too! RIGHT?!


    This is the news post:

    New registrations are temporarily closed
    Hi Everyone,

    The main goal of the project is to conduct end-to-end fine-grained monitoring of web sites. These web sites are monitored from different point-of-view (our host/network) and each WU contains a pre-defined set of web transactions.

    Your clients doesn’t get WUs because currently Surveill@Home is limiting the number of WUs in order to limit bandwidth demanding and the possibility of using BOINC to recruit and deploy a machine base to launch denial of service style web attacks.

    In the next days we will speed up WUs generation based on WUs processed and host locations.

    I'll temporarily stop new registrations.

    Thank you for your suggestions and comments.

    Best regards,

    Carlos Vaz

    Not a lot of credit, but I notice that I am getting what seems like a lot of work according to the web site. Almost 200 wu's so far.
