I asked my team mates and they confirm they can connect and receive WUs using latest BOINC. My own computers in Ukraine receive WUs as well!

I'm running 8.0.4 and have been for many months. I'm getting the 403 error on my linux machine.

Update: Works fine with Fedora 40 and 41 with client 8.0.4. All my Ubuntu and Ubuntu derivatives (PopOS) fail with 403
Update2: Ubuntu is at 24.04 LTS level

did you try upgrading BOINC on ubuntu to 8.0.4 ?

i had 8.0.2 on ubuntu 24.04 and after i upgraded, connectivity was restored

i was skeptical that upgrading recommended 8.0.2 to alpha 8.0.4 on linux will change anything BUT

after i upgraded as recommended here https://boinc.berkeley.edu/linux_install.php?os_num=6&build=alpha (PS: i used 8.10.0) , connectivity seems fine

What leads me to think that this may be a problem with the client version, although I'm not sure, I'm currently using 8.0.4 on my linux, and I have no problems.

i'm not worried about getting tasks, that is clear there are only few now

i use 8.0.2 on this linux machine, and based on release notes of latest 8.0.4 https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/wiki/Client-release-notes#changes-in-804 , i dont see any issues related to connectivity in general... I will try to upgrade some time..

During those days, I will keep an eye on the project, but I will not be at the same level of dedication. If we have started, it will be easy to maintain the pace of tasks during those days.


Great!
Our cpus are ready!!

Yeah given WCG is on maintenance, and no tasks in Rosetta, there are not much options for biological/medical projects in BOINC at this moment :(... DENIS tasks would greatly help on this matter

Hi Jesús,

Do you have any updates about when next crunch work will be available?

Thank you!

It's exciting to see our crunching helps science!

Hope to see new experiments and tasks soon!

Hi Jesús,

Now that project was whitelisted on Gridcoin a month ago and got significant computation boost, could you please provide a status update about what is currently computed, what is approximate amount of work done and remaining ?

I'd also like to thank you for keeping Tasks Ready to Send mostly filled with tasks last months so our machines do not run dry!

Hopefully this will bring more computation power and we/humanity will get useful results faster!

Is there some sort of proof or logs or something? Your post doesn't give much info to even verify the issue.


there is no connection to DENIS servers from most of Ukrainian internet providers

Post:
Thank you for the answer Jesus

To clarify, from some of my computers in Ukraine i have access here and from some do not. That depends on the internet provider

I wonder what kind of security reasons this blocking solves except normal crunchers cannot participate in the project :(

If anyone would like to do some hacking there is plenty of VPNs around the world to do so


@Jonathan for my computers this looks like standard "boinc could not access project servers" message

Hello there,

I second your suggestion @rilian :)

Some high-level information à la TN-Grid would do in my opinion:

https://gene.disi.unitn.it/test/gene_science.php

Best regards,

Samuel

Thanks!

Yeah, some projects display WUs numbers and % completion and it is always interesting to watch progress overtime and see the impact

Some other examples:
https://einsteinathome.org/server_status.php - see "search progress"
https://www.sidock.si/sidock/server_status.php - see "Research progress"
https://stats.distributed.net/projects.php?project_id=8

I see my account has disappeared with the recent problems so I have re-registered, this isn't a problem for me but is an explanation for me seemingly being new.

I would really like to support this project again but I offset my electricity costs with Gridcoin as I Boinc. However DENIS is no longer whitelisted for Gridcoin rewards. I would happily put forward DENIS for being re-whitelisted but many members of the community have concerns relating to HTTPS and the availability of Work Units.

hi G_UK,

project often has tasks and HTTPS issue was solved long ago, would it be possible to whitelist DENIS project in Gridcoin ?

Thank you

I crunch all possible projects until 10k points

then all projects where my team participates in challenges

and then all BOINC projects/subprojects related to medical issues (WCG, Rosetta@Home, DENIS, TN-Grid, SiDock)

and then non-medical GPU projects where my old hardware still gets tasks

and then internet projects where my connection allows (Majestic12)

and then idle projects (WuProp, Gridcoin)
