Razor, thanks for the EON link. I've just been trying to set up multiple clients, and that tool solves a lot of my problems. Are you using the suggested proxy settings?

Everyone, EON is another one of these projects that can easily run side by side with other jobs. There's rarely a lot of work, so most of the time the clients are idle. However, each WU is only worth one point, so when work is available you need to have a bunch of clients running to grab it. The tool linked above lets you run as many clients as you want, and has its own proxy to grab work and distribute it to the clients.

BTW...

Yeah I'm using 8/4 on the proxy and 2 crunch / 3 active clients and 90% on a duel core that has GPUFAH on it.

Haven't been able to get it to pull work from a remote proxy yet. Tried IP and tried network name but as of yet no go. I did tried sharing the the folder that I put the EONStart.exe and the EON folder in but that didn't help.
It could be that my router is tightened down really hard and my software firewall is impenetrable - I may have to punch some holes in things.;)

Until then I'm running just the proxy on 2 other machines (pause the client) and copy past through the network assignment and results back and forth from the main crunch machine to 2 other machines to keep it fed and results being sent in.
 
Good grief, I think I spoke too soon on EON. The EONstart tool is pulling a fairly constant stream of work, so I might need to devote a core to it. It's really amazing how bad their standard client is in comparison.

Yeah this tool is amazing compared to the standard client.
 
So many cool projects I want to participate in.. not nearly enough cores here. Glad I decided not to sell my Core i7.
 
yeah i have eon and W@H running on my 1.7ghz pentium M because the SoB project was causing it to overheat and restart..
 
The Lattice Project is starting to cheese me off. I finish a unit, user #2 gets a computation error, user #3 aborts the unit, user #4 goes past deadline, so I get nothing for it. Thanks for nothing after rendering the computer virtually useless for over 24 hours.

I was going to try again with the new GARLI units, but the downloads keep failing. I just can't get anywhere with this project. :D

Hmm . . . yep Im getting the same thing. Man I hope that app was safe. My Anti-virus went nuts when i tried to download and run that client. :(

I let the client do 60 or 70 units and it kept saying 0 in the in-buf and xx in the out-buf. But I couldnt get them to flush either. Man my single slot 4850 runs a little warm at 100% utilization!

Ok, here is a 2nd draft of the [H]ard DC commandos rules:

1. Participation is completely voluntary. No one will be shunned for deciding not to help.
2. You can participate in whatever projects you feel are fitting of your time and effort.
3. We are here to support the [H]orde and to advance its standing in the distributed computing community.
4. From time to time the [H]orde will engage in challenges such as the Chimp Challenge and World Community Grid challenges. All members are encouraged to support the [H]orde by putting their other DCing on hold to add a nice punch to those challenges.
5. While participating in these projects is mainly an exercise of points whoring, it is important to remember that this is scientific research we are helping with and as such it is important to maintain hardware and client configurations that will produce valid results.
Click to expand...

I am not sure about the wording of #4. Originally it had to do with the Chimp Challenge only. However, as we get more powerful with WCG, it becomes important to support that well.

I want to start a new thread that is less intimidating for someone that just stumbles upon the sub forum. The page count here has gotten larger than our rank at DC Vault (whoopee!) and I think there might be a need for a few more people as we climb higher and higher. There are many who because of dislike for Pande or FAH in general, have stopped DCing completely. I am hoping that with a bit of publicity through a new thread and some notes on our progress we can pick up some more commandos.
 
Welcome Eric E to the Rectilinear Crossing Number effort. 6 cores bringing in 2,360.95 in just two days!

And we have just over 800 points seperating us from spot #33. We should take care of that on the afternoon update. Great work everyone!

25 or bust by the end of the month?
 
Wheresatom - While I appreciate your efforts with everything you do I have to say that I just really don't agree with having "rules" for the commandos.
The last thing a prospective new user wants to read is that there are rules in joining with a team or an effort.
As far as I can understand in what you have prepared is that there are no rules and if the rules say there are no rules then lets just not have them.
I think the "rules" will do more harm than good. I would much rather have a well thought out welcome and appreciations post for our new incoming members.
I think everyone that puts forth there efforts knows that they do what they want to, how they want to, and most will want to help with team challenges or else they wouldn't have joined a team.
Sorry - I'm not trying to rub you the wrong way, I just believe that having rules is a mistake and again I'll state my case for a nice welcome and show of appreciations for our potential new comers and perhaps a guide to help outline what different projects are about, and how to go about crunching for them. A Boinc guide with links to the project sites and Boinc software downloads, and an additional sub guide with a compilation of links to the resources and software that we have all come across for the non-Boinc, non-FAH projects would be very welcome in my opinion.
Thanks again for all your efforts.
 
I will have to agree with Razor on the rules. We are all mature people and we can function with common sense and free will instead of abiding by the rules. Matter of fact, how can you enforce those rules ? What happen if someone violate that ?
 
I guess I left out the part about how I didn't think rules was the best word for it. It is more of a what we are about type of thing I was thinking.

F@H is by far what this team is about. Hell, I still throw almost 100% of my hardware at it. However, there are some who might question F@H's cpu clients a bit, and wonder what else there is out there. A 40 page thread titled DC Vault, and a thread called Official Project Listing thread are not exactly easy resources for someone to use if they don't know what they are looking for already. This would be for people like Sunin, who just recently was wondering what else there might be out there for CPU usage, or people like FLECOM who gets to pull the strings on hundreds of computers, or relic who got tired of SMP instability.

A new thread inviting people to see what we are doing, linking to our DC-Vault page, the project listing thread to know our team names, and a little synopsis of what we are trying to accomplish is all I am proposing. I am not saying we will forbid people from breaking these points. It is just a layman's description of what we are trying to do. That being said, I will not mention it anymore. I thought encouraging a few more people to help by starting a new thread would be nice, but it seems like I am pretty much alone on this.
 
Wheresatom - I wouldn't say your alone on this one because I completely agree with you that we could use a new thread with a compilation of the knowledge that we collective know about Boinc projects and non-FAH projects.
I agree to glean it from the volumes of text in this thread and our project listing thread would be daunting to a new comer.
If a sticky post like the [H]orde Guide could be made for Boinc and the other type projects that are in the DC-Vault besides FAH which is covered in Xilikon's [H]orde Guide (that guide stands on its own as a masterpiece), I think this would definitely be a big help to not only new comers but the rest of us currently involved with the projects now.

I will be more than happy to help with my knowledge and resources all I can to you or anyone else that would like to build such a guide for the [H]ard|DC Forum.
I think we can all contribute to such a undertaking but the task would need someone to put it all together and update the sticky guide. Any volunteer's?
Xilikon would be a great source of information on how to get started and manage such a guide.

Don't get me wrong I'm totally with you Wheresatom on your reasons for your idea, I just hoped we could all come together and put something together that would really draw in new potential commandos.
I know the [H]orde has added to its immense ranks of FAH folders simply for the reason that the [H]orde's Guide is referred to by so many other forum sites and once people come to this forum to look something up in it and they tend to start looking through the other threads and find that they like it here and continue to come back and many join our team.
 
Further - I think including some recommendations like your #4 in the Guide would be great, I do however think that the others may be unneeded.
1. Participation is completely voluntary. No one will be shunned for deciding not to help.
2. You can participate in whatever projects you feel are fitting of your time and effort.
3. We are here to support the [H]orde and to advance its standing in the distributed computing community.
4. From time to time the [H]orde will engage in challenges such as the Chimp Challenge and World Community Grid challenges. All members are encouraged to support the [H]orde by putting their other DCing on hold to add a nice punch to those challenges.
5. While participating in these projects is mainly an exercise of points whoring, it is important to remember that this is scientific research we are helping with and as such it is important to maintain hardware and client configurations that will produce valid results.

i turned my WGC back on today... tossing an old P4 back into the mix for team 1411
 
Hello I am new to this forum but not to DC. I fold as Eric E on RCN. I folded on E@H for a while, moved to F@H for a different team and wanted to help out the [H]orde on DC. I picked RCN since the team had low points for DCVault. I like to focus all of my computers on one DC for a while, instead of trying to spread them too thin. If there is any boinc project that is low, just point me in the right direction.
 
welcome to the team etothe3ric.. good to see some one thinks like me..
 
Commandos - This weekend I am going to make a push for the Top 100 in SHA-1. I'll probably be putting 6 or 8 cores there for the weekend starting tomorrow. If anyone wants to help, jump in!

Crunch on!

Welcome aboard Eric E! :cool:
Well theres lots to choose from, right now yoyo@home / Docking@Home / Cosmology@Home / Leiden Classic are our lowest Boinc type projects at the moment.
I'm going to blast some into yoyo for the next few days.
Whatever project(s) you like to do is fine with us. Here is our DC-Vault page to see where we stand in different projects.
Let us now if you have any questions theres always someone around to try to help.

Welcome etothe3ric! We can always use a new commando here.

I can't really offer much help with SHA-1. Sorry.



BTW, great update with DC-Vault! Up 2 spots overall, and we lost ground in no projects, and gained in quite a few. I am really enjoying this climb.
 
well ive switched over 4 of my cores to SHA-1 and milkyway@home.. and will switch over the last 2 later tonight..
 
Thanks for the welcome guys. I am going to push on with RCN for now and once we have a good number I may move to Leiden Classic or Docking@home.
 
I've already had 2 cores dedicated to SHA-1 for about a month now. Will try to add some more but I have a large queue of Lattice work at the moment on my Core i7 rig. It is also doing some PRP work at the same time.
 
What's the deal with EulerNet? Does it just take forever to finish. How did you guys get on the board?

You have to finish a calculation and then the time you did it in is added to your user name.
The thing is with me is that some calculation seem to go on and on so I remove them and start a new one, I just feel like I'm not going anywhere for the very large amount of time I put into it.
If I new that eventually I would get a calculation from the value I'm working on and I would be credited for it I would just let it run a month but I get impatient.
If you have better luck please report back since I would like to know what others have experienced.

I think I'll try and complete one unit, so I get on the board, then bail on the project. I don't know that they are doing anything really useful anyway.
 
Finishing up my last 7 Lattice projects, when finished I will download enough SHA-1 work to run me through the weekend on 8 cores. :D

That should bring our count to abut 20 cores. :) This is going to be an all out assault on SHA-1.

41 spots in 3 days. I think that it can be done. I just moved 3 of my cores over and I'll bring two more over tomorrow AM after these two W@home units get done. Then one or two more tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks for the help fellas! :cool:
 
I've got some SHA-1 work queued up too, but it's going to take a while to run the 5 remaining Lattice projects, plus the Sudoku that's at 20% after 128 hours. :rolleyes:

We should move up to #17 in Wieferich@home tomorrow, but the X Grubbers are trying to catch us. I'll leave five clients running, and that should keep us on track. The remaining core will be devoted to EON while we can still make some easy gains.

BTW, I just finished building my sig rig, and I've already planned out a Core i7 box. Anybody want to loan me some money? :D
 
I'm going to keep the rise in EON with one duel core and I've queued up SHA-1 on another duel core and it should start running through them as soon as its done with these last couple of yoyo's.

SazanEyes - I did get the EONStart remote proxy to fetch work from the dedicated proxy machine.
It was my firewall locking it down so I allowed both client in my firewall software and now it works like a champ.

Lots of them are sitting ducks, and we were the #2 most productive team on EON yesterday so we are making very good progress.
