Message 6003 - Posted:, 5:46:25 UTC - in response to Message 6002. Free-DC stats displays a users rank on the day they joined and often there is a spike in WUProp users the day after that post. For new projects there is often a jump in signed up users within a day of that post. When that post about New/Returning apps comes up in the Sticky it's an immediate notification to a lot of users.

WUProp is absolutely a good thing for BOINC. Projects that would not have received as much crunching time if it were not for WUProp. There are many projects I would have never heard of if it were not for WUProp. Short of projects using paid advertising (not really reasonable) there is absolutely nothing better for BOINC, especially it's smaller projects, than WUProp. I've said it before and some of the people on my own team have agreed on this. I have pointed to the data many times on other BOINC project forums for others to use. We wish for him to stay, for WUProp to continue as a valuable BOINC Project and for the data being collected to be of use for all. I don't believe anyone wishes for Sebastien to leave the WUProp Project or BOINC in general. I can personally only speak for myself but I think it applies to all that have posted here on the WUProp forum. Since there is a rush of AF members posting in a short period I took a look at the team forum. The most efficient thing would be to simply ban them from WUProp, themselves and their precious machines, because the crunch community really doesnâ€™t need people who have such selfish and misplaced self-esteem and make so much counterproductive fuss here. The best thing would be that those people simply detach from WUProp on all their numerous precious machines, virtual, fake, or whatever, and bon voyage. Seb has 200% the right to decide the way WUProp is working, whatever rules he thinks are best for his project, period.Īnd the fact that he got so fed-up by all the endless whingeing crybabies that he decided to let WUProp down is such an immense and tragic harm to the crunch community, and those people are to blame. I didnâ€™t read all the whining written by a number of people above (only some bits, there is too much), who seem to consider that WUProp (ie Seb) â€œowe themâ€, that they have rights to decide what WUProp should do or not, just because they are big crunchers and they provide a lots of results to WUprop (or not) : I donâ€™t need to, they just donâ€™t understand what this project purpose is, how it is maintained (= Seb) and under which conditions (time, and money). Particularly useful for those people who just crunch for the credits, another incentive. Exactly like Formula Boinc but at a sub-project / application level.

Personally I think that WUProp should not grant *any* credit, but because a number of cruncher only install and run boinc because of credits (â€¦), I think Seb thought it was a small incentive to do so, and allow a wider range of machines to feed the database, and make the benefit bigger for the community.Īs a secondary purpose, Seb had the great idea of providing specific 'star badges' in order to promote little projects not well known, by giving them the same weight than big projects, only based on the *actual* number of *hours* crunching on real cores (being physical or virtual on physical machines) for each sub-project (applications) of each project. However it has been giving credits since the beginning (more than enough considering its goal). Its purpose is not to give boinc credits, or reward anybody, due to scientific volunteering. WUProp results are the funding purpose and main use of WUProp, when we run WUProp we help ourselves, we donâ€™t help WUProp. This project is a technical project, a wonderful idea and resource *for* the boinc community, ie for people interested in running other boinc scientific projects, to help them choose whatâ€™s best for their own crunching need, by knowing the real impact of all the other boinc projects depending on the material used (CPU, GPU, by plateform).

Plus the help for Alliance Francophone members volunteer donations (money for hosting).

This project has never been a scientific project like all other traditional boinc project, it was never funded by any university or anything like that, no dev team behing, only Seb and his own time (a lot), passion and money.
