I have to say that I'm getting rather exasperated at the lack of WU's - I have managed to process 12 in total!! Despite being in from the start and also in the beta programme beforehand - where I got more beta WU's than I have had actual ones since - to say that they are scarce is an understatement!!
----------------------------------------Perhaps those who have achieved badges would opt to back off and deselect OET, thus giving new crunchers and those who would like the chance to process a few WU's the chance to do so and maybe gain a bronze badge??? ![]() |

For all those (such as JSYKES and many, many more) who are getting exasperated and frustrated by the challenge of getting enough WU's to even get a Bronze badge - whilst there are people out there who are into the high reaches of the badges (Emerald, Sapphire and even a 5 yr. Diamond), I've posted a suggestion here that I serious hope WCG will at least consider implementing. This is an idea built on one first suggested (if my memory serves me correctly) by SekeRob (basically, it's a restriction of 2 WU's/core) whilst this project is in "limited supply" mode. Perhaps if enough people will support/enhance the idea, then there may be a fairer spread of OET WU's to go around (that is, assuming that WCG implement the suggestion).
----------------------------------------Implementing an idea such as this, wouldn't prevent the "big hitters" from reaching the higher levels first - as they'll have more cores (and hence an opportunity to catch/process more WU's), than the "smaller hitters" in our community. ![]() |

I have a better idea. Why don't we low life, can't get any tasks to process at all DESELECT the OET project?
----------------------------------------Vote with our feet and leave if there's no work to be done. ![]() |

We have just posted a News article saying that we have no new tasks to send out. Previously we were sending out a small amount of work per day, but currently there is not work to send.

That is where I look for news specific to this Science Project. I expect many other people are the some. And Happy New Years. [Edit 1 times, last edit by TimAndHedy at Jan 1, 2015 3:16:54 AM] |

As always, Uplinger is our "voice of information" here in the forums. Much appreciated my friend, as I'm sure people would have wondered what happened.
Regardless of the problems the Project has had getting work to us in it's infancy, I wish them a lot of success in 2015 and look forward to helping them. Hopefully, they can get things fixed, unleash the WUs and see what the WCG donor community can really do for them! ![]() |

Happy New Year to everyone and a very special Thank You towards Uplinger for keeping us informed.
----------------------------------------I let my current queue on oet wus run dry and switch to other projects until a steady flow on oet wus is coming up. I wish I had more ressources to support all other projects. ![]() |
