Is this general consensus?


most likely - you won't find drive-by crunchers here, but probably only those of us who dare...

So far I didn't know and didn't care about "all other Previous Test Projects", that's why I asked D.A.


that's another misconecption!

DA has his very own ideas - and sometimes this has absolutely nothing to do with what those people think that provide the cycles to run boincworld.

If you (and the stat sites) can live with credit "however small it is", being granted unreliably and fluctuating, and won't complain whatever happens, I could as well leave the stats export on.


grant a single credit for every WU and call it a deal.

After all, it's just a switch in the project configuration.


not really - all that hassle about a switch? ;)

i knew this would happen..

them hardcore crunchers out here and a project which went public and now is telling us this was not intended.

did anyone out here break open the doors?

do you really think you can get all the different platforms and setups for testing anywhere else than from us - not even talking about for nothing but credits?

get serious, think twice and pull the plug or not.

This reminds me of a sign in a local shop "don't ask for credit as a refusal often offends" ..... :-)


too bad this is YOUR local shop. not in real life, but in boincworld. some out here do care for credits, others do not. but crunching without any chance to get ones efforts listed on the stats sites is senseless in boincworld.


if you do not want to run things like other offical test-projects do, just block public access and close the whole case.
