i hold these wus hostage!

[Movieman]

Welp.. lets see what happens. Ill be watching the progress and make a final determination at the end of next week. Hopefully all will work out...

Thanks for your patience. I know you well enough to understand how strongly you feel on this.
One of the things that a lot of the guys here have in common is the strong passions. That is what drives most of us but it also is what brings out the strong anger..It's a 2 edged sword.

[itznfb]

and what exactly are we waiting for? what do you expect to happen?

i don't believe any of our top crunchers have stopped have they? i mean this hasn't been a united front.

[Hassan]

I've moved 90% of my resources to CPDN and will move the remaining 10% by Monday. Bye Bye Pie!

This "stoppage" started app 6 hours into todays stats and today was down from an average of 535K points to 380K..
Now consider that the top guys have lots of machines that aren't sitting in thier homes and take time to either start or stop.I also know that the #3 guy on the team is away on vacation.
Their are people who will continue. I have had PM's saying many opinions.
One guy told me he'd had cancer as a child and now a friend had cancer and he couldn't bring himself to shut down the machines.
I told him I totally understood and would support that decision pubically.
I asked the guys to follow my lead on this but I understand if for some reason someone can't or doesn't want to. I consider you guys as friends that I haven't met yet and friends try and understand the others issues.

Ok no problem, but at least they can do like me. Load the WU cache for a week and crunch in silence. WHat is wrong with that. At least they help us put te squeeze for this week. The science will not be hurt.

I agree, but there are some that feel so strongly that they don't even want to that. I understand, there are many motives that bring us here. Friends,Family..Strong feelings. Some are here strictly for the competition.
All good reasons and all to be respected.
I stated my feelings but I'll support anyone who feels differently.
We are a team and the most important thing is that we respect one another.
Everything we do from there is built on that respect.

[Jose]

I for one will respect the inddividual members calls regardless if they are dfferent than mine.

This is a group of individuals , intelliegnt , pasionate and dedicated individuals so different views are bound to happen. I think the most important thing we must realize is that even if at the end all of us dont agree on a soultion, NOTHING should divide us as people as a community. THe respect and care for friends that has bound us has to be there. If not we have lost more than some freaking credits.

[AAdjuster]

I made a backup copy of Rosetta and put it in storage for now.

For now I and my 1 machine will be running QMC@home.

There comes a time where you've tried all you can in every way you can and you feel like your banging your head against a wall.
This is how I feel after the past few weeks with Rosetta.
We've been called cheaters over at the Rosetta forum at Baker Labs by a small group of former SETI people.
It's gone on and on with no intervention from the people in charge.
This same small group of very vocal people posted over and over on this same issue of wanting the points awarded to reflect a parity with the other Boinc Projects.
There are other issues, whole threads deleted because of 2 or 3 flaming in them.
Emails sent to the Baker Labs people asking for what amounted to 10 mins of their time and being told " we don't have time to persue that"
Whe someone constantly dumps on you, even a dumb old mick like me eventually says enough of this crap.
You saw that Dr Baker was here today posting. That was damage control my friends plain and simple.There were things said last night that caused him to think we might walk away and so we got a little visit today from the great man himself.
Rosetta may someday be a great medical breakthrough but it is run by people who do not know how to deal with people that devote great amounts of time and money to their project.
I am done with this project and am moving on to try and find something worthwhile to do. My suggestion to you is to do the same before you run into the same BS I did over the last few weeks. There are plenty of good worthwhile medical apps and others also that can use what we bring to them.
If you care to stay with Rosetta, that is your call. As always, I don't tell anyone what to do. I share my feelings and I offer suggestions but thats all I do.
Thanks for listening guys, it's been a joy to work with you on this.

I should have read this before I started back up yesterday. I was out of town for a couple of days and turned off both computers I have running Rosetta. Started them back up as soon as I got home........ There's one W.U. running on one of those computers now. As soon as it's done - that's it. No more. I'm not the biggest contributor by any means, but I do contribute steadily.

i just uploaded 90 WU's, 49 from one box, that box only got 30 credits. 30 credits for 49 WU's? wtf?

Have the stats not updated since? I had a look through and it seems as though you have been granted correct credits. give it a few hours and see if you get the credit granted if not post on the rosetta boards as they are still dealing with problems with the new system.

[itznfb]

my machines with combined 6ghz are being granted 2x to 3x the credit of my machine with combinded 30ghz. is that right?

edit: i guess it only shows 12 completed results, when i just uploaded 49 completed results 20 minutes ago.

and just as i'm ing about it.... it finally gets updated

it usually updates right away.

[mat128]

I just retired my 2 main rigs as a move for baker labs to check out the case and actually do something about it! Gonna stop my 4 other rigs friday / saturday, but I hope they're gonna do something.

[Privateer]

I remember getting PMs, how to put flags in the F@H client, we were accused of cheating for doing that, that also split the team up then, I'm a fan of DDTUNG, always have been, say where you are mate and I'll follow you.

[itznfb]

last i heard he was taking a break, and would be joining the WCG team shortly. of course this is what i've heard from other people, not directly from DDTUNG.

He's a very thoughtful guy and I expect evaluating his options.
Whatever he decides to do I'm sure will be the right thing.
