3) Message boards : Feedback : Credit scores (Message 505) Posted 22 Feb 2006 by Snoopy Post: "But, adding boinc_ops_cumulative means code-changes to the application, meaning any likely change to Rosetta@home's crediting should be alpha-tested by RALPH before it's released, and is therefore on-topic in this alpha-project." That's what Ingleside said and I second this... It must be of great interest to the project team to keep the crunchers stay with Rosi. I hate cheating and me (and others) will take our ressources to other projects if this problem isn't resolved in the long run.
4) Message boards : Feedback : Credit scores (Message 500) Posted 22 Feb 2006 by Snoopy Post: I wouldn't start a thread about credits or participate in such thread in R's forums, as if it became a hot topic of debate, it'd just waste project human resources. So, personally I feel we are discussing a valid subject, with the R project's best interest in mind. Agreed. We are just discussing it in the wrong place. Regards Phil And I disagree. This is exact the right place to discuss this topic.....

6) Message boards : RALPH@home bug list : Registering with boinc account to RALPH (Message 83) Posted 16 Feb 2006 by Snoopy Post: http://www.ralph.bakerlab.org/create_account_form.php "NOTE: If you use BOINC version 5.2+ with the BOINC Manager, don't use this form. Just run BOINC, select Attach Project, and enter an email address and password." That's missleading.... This is the new way of attaching to a project. You no longer have to go to each project website and create an account. It can be done via the BOINC manager since version 5.2 It eliminates the need for the cut and past of the account keys or sending them to you to only be blocked by your internet provider. I know this because I'm doing some boinc projects right now. But for RALPH you have to register first and so the above sentence is missleading. Got me now? Technically it is correct. As is the case with all BOINC projects you must create and ID and then attach. What they are trying to do is get people to use the new method, where the BOINC client will perform both functions. When you enter the e-mail and password in the BOINC client, if the ID does not exist it will create it and attach the computer. If the ID does exist it will simply attach the the existing ID. I would agree the wording may be confusing to some, but the idea is to get people to use the BOINC client attachment system. And this exactly DOESN'T work... I tried to register one machine at RALPH with my existing boinc account and it doesn't work. I then tried to register with a new nick and e-mail and it doesn't work. So I registered at the Ralph homepage with a new nick and e-mail and then was able to attach one machine to Ralph....

9) Message boards : RALPH@home bug list : Registering with boinc account to RALPH (Message 45) Posted 16 Feb 2006 by Snoopy Post: Not a bug - this is a different project than the Rosetta@home - you need to create a new account first. I'm sorry but it is a bug if the registering page says you don't have to register new....
