I understand it must be a massive undertaking, fraught with complexities and potential snafus, to switch servers and alter the network.

However, I cannot understate how frustrating it is to see the massive amount of wasted electricity caused by the recent changes. I'm just getting to the first my machines, and seeing machines, that through no fault of mine, now have wrecked installs, that previously ran trouble-free. Machines that haven't produced in three or more days due to "the change-over". Machines that have "reached daily quota of 4 results" that had zero problems before.

I'm not sure WCG's administration understands how much that can alienate their userbase. Maybe they just don't care.

Perhaps if I ran just one or two rigs it wouldn't bother me, but I run a lot more than that. Out of my home. Paying the power bill out of my pocket.
I've chosen to do so as I like the project and support its' general goals. But when this kind of stuff happens it makes one reconsider my loyalty or dedication to the project. I have no idea what happened, exactly. I just feel like the trust that we ( or I ) have in the project has been violated. Sure, this disaster of a switchover, wasn't planned to have gone so poorly, but from my perspective it definitely has. It just burns me and leaves me ticked off.

Thanks for letting me vent.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.
