More Dirt issues.

Just noticed that SIC put up 15.7 million today vs 7.6 for SUSA. They'll take over first place tomorrow.

It is really only a safeguard for during this time I can crunch an alternative until the problem is resolved....

Fair enough reason. I asked and you answered. Thanks.

So ya, at least one person has lost credits. I have not checked my own mainly because if I find it then I'll be irate. And yes, I know it happens which is why I stay away from projects that take this sort of thing for granted. MW usually does a great job of correcting errors which in my opinion is the reasonable thing to do.

I know 60k sounds a lot. And it *is* for CPU projects.

But for the high paying GPU projects, that is just a rounding error. Even with the validation bug, this project is still paying more than any CUDA alternative.

So what is the alternative (if the bug was still there, which it isn't)? Crunch a lower paying project like PG, which everyone was already even more pissed off at? Why?

Folks, this is a hobby, we do it for *fun*. Mistakes happen from time to time, without malice. They want your help, after all. Why be perpetually worried or pissed off? Have fun with it!

That assumes a steady availability of work. It was all turned off for a while. What you are just seeing now are just short bursts of output from the validator.

This is another reason why I am worried about my efforts for not being credited for over 800 Units sitting in "Awaiting validation" and no credits for three days. Never the less, I will continue to crunch with my GPU's on this until it is resolved...In the mean time to make sure I will not loose all, I have suspended all CPU units for it for I have other important tasks to perform as well. Just a safety measure...

I am sure we'll see an uptick when all gets validated...and yes, this is a hobby and it is...oh yeah, it is still fun. Sometimes!!!

Just to be clear. The best day I have on Dirt was Aug. 26 with 361,095 credits. That divided by 60K is approx 1/6. To me a 15%+ drop is not a good thing, especially if it was not my doing. I do understand the projects mostly try and that they do want our help and nothing is perfect......

Shoot, they are just having growing pains. I don't think they understood the magnitude of what was going to happen when they raised the credits equal to the PG of old. The credits have actually gone down a hair ... the 300000 wu took less time to crunch when they 1st came out but still pay the same 3000. I haven't seen a single 400000 wu validated yet so it will be interesting to see if it pays higher since it takes longer to crunch.

[zombie67]

Looks like they turned the validator back on. My bending task count is down from 2k+ to less than 400. Lot's o' credits today! Weee!

Arrgh! I'm out of DiRT wu's check your settings to be sure your not sitting idle!
