I'm still crunching here, but the most productive GPUs are now working for Amicable Numbers -- where they went last time this project went down.

On a system based on RAC you really are *losing* credit -- which even with my computers hidden should be obvious because you're losing yours faster and are now ranked lower than me.

And Gridcoin team members are losing their RAC-based gridcoin earnings too -- so my children may have to go hungry this weekend.

Last time it WAS a GridCoin member that caused the problems, I have no idea who or what team they are on did it this time though. Last time GridCoin even helped catch the guy though.

And as for your kids going hungry if that's true, I guessing by the pulling on my leg it's not, then you may have made some poor choices if that's what you are depending on for that. Last time I checked Gridcoin wasn't paying enough to offset the total cost of the electricity used to generate the credits.

As you can see by my signature I have alot of total credits and RAC, BUT if I walked into a store and wanted to buy something I BETTER have some kind of money too as they are useless except for bragging or monitoring your progress.

My invalids are up to 3593

---

mikey -- that's why I shifted over to GPUGrid, Primegrid, MilkyWay and Moo two+ days ago.

I don't know if we'll see credits for the invalids but by shifting, instead of 3500, I have 650 invalids.

My daily credit rate is about 2/3 of yours

I'm sure they will be re-validated at some point else Slicker would have shut the feeder down.

i have several hundred of "ivalids" but suppose it's too early to sound an alarm cause I do believe in God, Collatz and Admin

the only we have to do is just wait for a couple-triple of days

I'm going to stay attached, but will hold off on receiving new WU's (or returning any more) until this is fixed. I would suggest this for others, too. Who knows how long this issue will last? Whether your results will be counted? There are other projects out there for everyone to latch onto, including for people who have much more computer power than I do.

I'll be getting new tasks when things are fixed. Will be over on MooWrapper and GoofyGrid for a bit. I eagerly await the chance to make contributions again to finding out if 3x+1 or 1/2 really does inexorably lead back to 1...

Oh, to whatever kind of chingada pinche cabrón hacked the feeder, mama mi culo, puta...

Is it now safe to run this BOINC Project?

It's always been safe, as far as getting credits right this minute they are still being delayed.

I'm sure they will be re-validated at some point else Slicker would have shut the feeder down.

Doesn't seem to be the case, number of invalids is dropping but credit is not going up.

Here we go again!

Maybe its a windows version issue? I'm seeing no issue on my 3 hosts using GPU:

The validate inconclusive result issue should be fixed now. For whatever reason, some windows apps are not reporting the elapsed time correctly and one of the validator rules is to make sure that the WU runtime is reasonable. For example, if a WU finishes in only 3 seconds, there's no way it is valid. So rather than get the elapsed time from the WU, it now counts on the run time reported by the BOINC client for the non-GPU windows apps. There were 87 such results that have now been revalidated and granted credit.

number of invalids is dropping but credit is not going up NO SOLUTIONS FROM 3 JUL 2018. THEN GOOD BYE COLLATZ

Same here! Invalids cancelled and no credit. I guess my electricity and computer time are "Gone With the Wind" just like last time the money greedy hackers attacked this website. Since I am sure these hackers will not offer to pay for my losses, the next time this happens, I will abort all Collatz tasks (even those that are 99% complete) and move to other projects.
