I doubt it. I don't honestly think they know what moderators are. I will never get any work until they start releasing ARP since that is what was in my profile when the project went down. The only people getting work are the ones who were getting OPN or MCM when the project went down or who have newly attached and are getting the default settings. If your profile is set to get ARP, you will start getting ARP when they are released. These have lots of data associated with them. You won't be able to change you profile to not get them. That is when the real screaming will start.
WCG restart delayed...until...13May 2023
- Thread starter Vester
- Start date
I'm in the same situation as many others. I had all devices set to MCM only before the migration and haven't gotten anything since the partial restart. I'm still hoping that they can pull it together as the research does seem to be valuable (more so, to me at least, than running sims of black holes, determining some properties of asteroids, or running endless brute force math problems) and I'd rather park what little compute power I have there than other projects. With older equipment, I find the RAM and disk I/O requirements of the folding projects too heavy, and I'm not sure if volunteer computing for folding is the best use of resources now that we have AlphaFold. So that basically leaves WCG for biomedical/humanitarian research. Let's hope they can pull it together.

Seems like we get a couple of fixes every several days. Nice to not have the wrong URL message anymore and I'm now seeing no tasks for MCM instead of simply no tasks available, but it sure would be great if they could get the website device profiles talking to the clients so that we could get some of the OPN tasks. Maybe in a few more days?
Wait until ARP starts running, If I remember correctly, there is about 60MB to 80MB to upload for each work unit. It seems they are possibly having bandwidth or upload/download server issues even with the smaller projects. Once a few ARP start uploading and get stuck, then others backup behind them, it really gets ugly. I'm probably not going to reattach to this project for the remainder of the year. Next year? I doubt it but ot ruling it out. I've been in conversation with the guys at Charity Engine about possibly doing something with them toward the end of the year after I relocate and get everything up and running in the new "IT Room". They haven't finalized their plans yet.
Looks like a pretty accurate assessment.
Cyclops posted in part, "Unfortunately, the distribution rate is even lower than we planned for this phase of the rollout due to a networking issue in the data center that is being currently investigated, expected to be resolved in the coming days. At least until this fix is applied, we will not be able to send WUs to everyone. We will update you when this is fixed."
Been lots of work for WCG over the last day or so. Even got work for Android for the first time since the transition. Lots of 503 errors trying to download work units though.
Tasks are downloading much better today for me. They made some changes to their server configurations but they are still waiting on the data center for fixing the real networking issues.
