Dear all,

we are glad to announce that SiDock@home has been restored after a long technical maintenance. We really appreciate your patience and are grateful for your participation! We have assigned BOINC credits for all the unfinished tasks received before the pause. Some of the forum threads or posts may be lost, but the computational results have been restored.

As the project's server has been reinstalled, you will probably need to detach and attach again in BOINC Manager.

We apologize for the inconvenience and are very thankful for your participation!

Natalia

Glad to see the project is back and going strong again. Have you performed any significant hardware/software upgrades that would/could improve the project's future stability and possibly output?

Looks like you disconnected one of your computers from SiDock on the 19th.

I added 1400 CS to your account. Strange, but looks like that not all stats on boincstats.com is correct. In Free-DC situation are different: https://stats.free-dc.org/user/sid/1855 .

Suggestion .... If you did some informational posts in the BOINC Community that your current project is Ebola related more users interested in Science might join the project !

What about Id 7484, an I5-3470 last used in 2023 with over 3,000,000 credits? If it has been disconnected since that time it is possible that data is no longer being exported due to data protection rules?

I know that I have, in the past, seen my points disappear (usually to reappear a few days later) when the stats exports has dropped one or other of my computers.

maybe I misunderstood your first question or the definition of "disconnect". I think, if the computer (you are referring to) is disconnected, then it wouldn't show in my (sidock) computerlist. but there we can find it, because... otherwise you would have written your answer ;)

so where do you see, that the computer was disconnected? this specific computer is not active since 2023 but I never edited something here or at boincstats, which yould lead to the disconnection (IMO). So I don't know, what heppened at the 19.

Mmm then strangely I had this very old message from Natalia in mind, but it never happened and I was certainly crunching with linux VM (in the mac or an rented host) then :)
