[zombie67]

First off, I think the RSS feed was broken when they changed their URL. Fix please?

Second: They injected some new kind of tasks:

Hi!

Now I have made some workunits for terracoin mining. You'll distuinguish the terracoin workunits from bitcoin workunits by the letters TRC in the workunit name "wu_TRC_V5_100_"...

PS. Here you can see the hashrate and terracoins mined for Vault #5: http://p2pool.org/trcstats.php?addre...fRfzJCXi7mqkBS

The problem: They take 4-6 times as long to run, but pay the same as the normal tasks. So if you are concerned about credits, this is a problem. Also, these TRC tasks use the same app, so you can't avoid them via app selection.

I am trying hard to be the first to 100M, so I can't just stay away until this gets resolved. But if you are not worried about things like that, and you are worried about credits, then stay away for now.

Thanks for the update- I updated my drivers yesterday and made a minor hardware change, then noticed WU times went up 6x! I thought I'd really screwed something up-

Thx for the info Z.

I'm going to finish out my 5 million on some 20 Share work units and roll off until they figure this out. I had one WU go almost 13 hours last night; most are taking 90 to 180 minutes where they used to be 20 to 30.

I would have liked to have gotten to 10 million, but I'm backing off for now. Thanks Z for the heads up on the change, I thought it was looking a little strange.

And of course, at this point, I can't get the home.php to pull up to edit my profile. Even the Message boards produce just a blank screen in Firefox and an error in IE 9.

I'm still having problem with the Wu's taking to long to run, had a 20 Unit running over 7 Min's & still running so I Aborted it, suspended Project for now ...

[zombie67]

This project has the same old problem that the other bitcoin project had, where some tasks will drop to zero GPU load, and then run forever. I use BOINCtasks to suspend any tasks over x minutes.

[STE\/E]

The GPU shows between 96% & 99% Usage but the Wu's run Forever ... What ATI Driver are you using, I think I'm still running 12.10 but not sure ... I'll try your Driver Version tomorrow if different than mine & see what happens ...

[zombie67]

I'm using the latest non beta.
