It may be too early to tell. There could be some delay, because normally 3 different computers have to complete the same workunit before points are assigned. Different subprojects may also have different submixes and ways of doing things. Some of us have 4-5 days of workunits in our queues, so it could also be a while before that workunit is sent in.

All I can say right now is to keep things full and keep crunching. If nothing happens in another week, the techs might ask for some message logs, computer numbers, etc. to trace your activity.

I was recently out of town for 10 full days, everything was sent in, the queues were down to nothing, and my computers were turned off for the duration. Points were being assigned for all of those days, due to these kinds of delays. All of the others out there had to complete their workunits also.

It also took a few days to get back up to steady production again.

er...ah....what team is it?

Is it authorized to the WCG Technical Staff to initialize a support contact?
I mean to contact a member without him/her first asking for support?
There is somebody in the Decrypthon team who is currently and regularly increasing his/her count of results (s/he is in the top 25!) but points are still 0 and time is at 4mn and 36s!!!

Looks like there is something weird that went unnoticed, or that the member does not feel able to report it. Can somebody help to avoid such waste of efforts?

Cheers. Jean.

Too bad... That's what I had understood from reading other posts.
Actually I do not know this member, I had only noticed it in the stats and the member name is the only thing I could give, but I did not want to highlight it more than with a (rather easy) indirect pointer in case s/he does not wish more publicity... Should I put this name here or would it be useless anyway?

Sekerob,
Thank you for your patient and timely support. I understand every precaution taken regarding members' privacy, and I do not disagree.

Unfortunately the Decrypthon team has no better home site than the project itself (that's the same one!...) and, sadly enough, communication is not their best skill. Therefore, no forum, no team thread to use there.

And leaving "sleeping" posts with the member name here or there in the WCG forum would go against this privacy concern in my opinion, at least against its spirit.

Therefore I think we have both done our best for the time being... 8-)

Cheers. Jean.

It's good to see you making sure that I have not overlooked any path to a solution. But I have started this story with a "search all forums" on this member name, with one more try on the same, but in the text this time. As you can guess from my posts the answer was a double "nothing found"...

Bye. Jean.
