#1 GoofyxGrid@Home
Saw this over on the SUSA forum. New NCI project, which means it runs like WUProp and uses very little CPU resources. Best anyone can tell, it's main purpose is to earn WUProp hours and stars

I've not added TSBT as a team yet. I know you chaps are trying to get consistent team info/branding on the projects.

After Gridcoin Finance, which has a NCI app that does errrr...what does it actually do?, here we have a next shady app:
Some remarks from their homepage:
"GoofyxGrid@Home it's a boinc server for some project which we want to examine"
"Big respect for you guys for join to this project"
And have you looked at the name of the apps?
If you feed them peanuts you get monkeys....

Don't let that delay a team creation, if you want to be founder then go for it. We can always update the styles/brand later.scole250 wrote:I've not added TSBT as a team yet. I know you chaps are trying to get consistent team info/branding on the projects.

New GoofyxGrid@Home app, Monkeys v2 - Word seeker, now running. Hope everyone got Monkeys v1 - Random generator to at least 100 hours for a WUProp bronze app.
Update: For the time being, Monkeys v1 - Random generator is still running! Cool, two WUProp apps with little CPU use...SWEET!

Looks like GoofyxGrid@Home is down for server maintenance and the V1 app is over.
#23 Re: GoofyxGrid@Home
At least I made lime on V1 before it was gone. Hopefully a new app ?

#33 Re: GoofyxGrid@Home
How long have you had them attached? My didn't pick any up until overnight. If it's been more than 24 hours, try resetting the project or detaching and re-joining.
#34 Re: GoofyxGrid@Home
One of them now has picked up work overnight.
The other one is a bit funny and doesn't seem to like doing anything I want it to, so I just leave it alone crunching enigma. I'll maybe plug in a monitor and see what it's up to.

They are both NCI. I'm getting V3s but haven't gotten any V4 yet. I haven't run them long enough to finish yet.

All four run for about the same time and get as much credits as the others (10 per completed WU).

You should have seen my face when I managed to get all active QCN projects (6, also nci), plus WuProp, plus the four Goofyx AND Enigma running on my ARM11 powered Raspberry Pi B+! Too bad I can't yet let the Sensehat talk with QCN, there seems to be a power problem (as in not enough juice).Alez wrote:Was quite surprised to fire up my laptop and find 4 monkeys apps all happily crunching away.

I wish there were more NCI projects like GoofyGrid where the goal of the project does not necessarily require raw computing power but rather a large population of devices performing low intensity tasks.

Do you have to fire up VM's or will it work by starting multiple clients on the same machine. I know that doesn't work with WUProp but does with most projects, just wondered if it was a project or a NCI thing.

Answered my own question, you can also fire up multiple clients rather than using VM's.
