I have stopped trying to download any WCG work for now. It's just not worth all the effort it takes to try and get work.

If you scroll down to the bottom of any page on the WCG website it shows a blue box with "Krembil ..Relentless" I'm starting to think they should change that to read "Krembil ... CLUELESS !!!!"

Clueless is probably kinda true. I imagine administering a distributed computing project is just a bit outside their area of expertise.

While it's certainly NOT like the old days, I've found that the best way for me to deal with WTG is just leave it alone.

phill · Oct 7, 2022

They have reported again today more problems but I'm not sure what the problems are as nothing has been said. Its frustrating and a shame but judging by some of the posts/threads, they have been given no help with this and no idea of the requirements, I really don't get it

Still unable to get into the WCG site... It's on Facebook and Twitter if anyone goes on there

NastyHabits · Oct 7, 2022

@phill I just checked the WCG Facebook page. The website was down for maintenance, but is now up.

"The WCG website is down for a brief maintenance check, we will notify you once it has been finished and the website is back online."
"The website should be fixed now, thank you for your patience."

I saw it when I had a bit of a search afterwards but thank you for posting up again. I really hope they don't have any more interruptions....

Guys and gals

I have a small update for everyone I'll put in the WCG forum for a give away I'm going to be doing for FAH WCG and Rosetta members - Only real requirement is that you'll need to be an active member and preferably live in the UK for postage or collection (whichever is best and easiest for you!!) and we'll see how it goes.. I'm not sure if any of the kit I'm giving away is going to be of any use to anyone, but hopefully it will be!!

EDIT - A linky for anyone interested in anything they might need!!

Anyone up for another challenge??!

WCG MCM Challenge!!

My queue is only OPN now, I guess the other projects have dried up.

Hello everyone,
My apologies I have been out of the game for a while. Wife and I separated ( it was over due) and I move into a new place. Time get get back in the game. I need a new rig, I have a $3,500 budget not sure if I'm going to build or get something from CLX, but I need everything from case to speakers and monitor.
Gaming and Crunching.

I'll keep you posted

hi guys just joined today thanks for having me. charl.

Zachary85 · Oct 15, 2022

The challenge started today, but the challenge project is for MCM. The only work I have had the past couple of days is OPN1. Looks like we are off to a slow start.

Yup. I have OPN's lined up into the sunset. :confused:

phill · Oct 17, 2022

I'm wondering if they are doing testing or something guys and gals with the lack of other work units coming down?? No clue sadly

Zachary85 · Oct 17, 2022

Well, Surprise!! I have a few MCM work units trying to download now .... and having very little luck getting them to complete.
I also wonder if the downloads were limited to OPN1 for a few days to see if the website issues went away. Seems that the problems are back now.

phill · Oct 18, 2022

Yes I'm having the same issues @Zachary85 with the downloads again, not sure why or what has changed (if anything) but it seems things are just having a funny 5 minutes again... Even I think the stats was a little off this morning as well... Hopefully things will improve as time goes on

Bow · Oct 20, 2022

Parts on order
Ryzen 7950x
MSI x670e carbon mobo
32 gig, Kingston 5200 fury beast
GeForce rtx3090
EVGA supernova 1000w psu
360 Water cooler
2 ssd and 1 mechanical hdd

Soon very soon

NastyHabits · Oct 20, 2022

Sometime during the night (USA west-coast) I received a boatload of MCM's on both my machines. I hope all of you did too! Everything looks like it did in the good old days.

I've been having issues trying to get work downloaded today, but I have also notice various work units so that is a good bonus

Its shame though that WCG site is still down and the stats aren't updating properly again

thebluebumblebee · Oct 28, 2022

No downloads for like 36 hours. Is it just me?

HammerON · Oct 28, 2022

None for me as well.
