Hi everybody
I understand very well the disappointment of some (many) crunchers.
I too would like to participate to DDDT2 or beta more actively. Even I provided over 48 years of CPU time within 3.3 years, I did receive only few beta WUs and only 2 DDDT2 since the project launch although my devices are reliable and online 24/7.
During this time, my devices are working for other projects (I am aware that after the saphir badge there are no further badges ... so what ! ...).
The most important thing is to support project as faithfully as possible.
I am a normal human, I like to receive badges. However, I have to set priority: project participation is much more important than spending time for micro-management in order to earn a new badge quicker than other members.
Normally, we are contributing for years. We should be able to be simply patient.
Have a good time !

I guess you missed the announcement. The project is fully active, since the Scientists and Techs are working continuously on it. It is just that the release of WU is intermittent. Just because it looks intermittent to the crunchers doesn't make the project intermittent. There are actually people, other than crunchers, who work on these projects.

Since the intermittent release of WU is what the scientists want/need to do, that is how the project is being managed. We need to deal with that.

What about the Type C WUs that gave Error -161 or whatever, discussed in the problematic batches? thread? Has this problem been fixed, or if these errors are to be allowed to happen, is a fair credit system in place yet?

Other guesses about the current delay:
* It's been a long weekend for a religious anniversary, so the scientists & techs are taking a break;
* We have just crunched the first or one of the first, full production batches of Types A, B and C WUs, and the scientists want to analyse the results before committing more of your and my CPU time to the project, just in case changes need to be made.

"Patience is a virtue" - by I. Dunno
Meanwhile, let us - you, me and all the other virtuous people - keep crunching our 2nd- and 3rd-favourite (etc) projects.

Then the project would show separately in the Device Profile. Not bad. I guess it would then depend on how that might effect the task distribution algorithm on the server.

I personally like JBoullier's idea and it was something I had thought of suggesting - to see if it was possible in order to lessen the rancor the lack of WUs seems to have caused or rather the "hoovering" of the WUs that have been available.

DDT2 although active is very similar to the Betas in that for at least now WUs will be sparse. Limit it to one WU at a time per core similar to the Beta system now in place. It will still be luck and timing, but it will even the odds for those of us who do not "micro-manage" WCG and for those that set and forget.
