OOPS! citing Bill F WCG lost A LOT of volunteers, specially a lot of long time loyal ones. But it doesn't look like anyone in Toronto really cares...https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg...ead,42607_offset,0#632974 No offence taken on any language. Since we are talking volunteers, I wonder how many quit WCG (if any) because of all the problems in the last year. Ralf |

WCG lost A LOT of volunteers. Unfortunate. I get the frustration but I kept my machines filled during that time by using other projects like Tn-Grid which has now run dry. I started there at the bottom and am now in position 69 worldwide; third in Canada.Did any come back? It would be interesting to know how much other projects benefited during the WCG downtime. |

Is it known how many active volunteers there are on WCG? I see no stats anywhere on that.
Are there other medicine related projects out there? Even now WCG runs dry temporarily. Yesterday, at 23:28:23 EDT, my 24 core machine was running only 4 tasks. So I gave Rosetta a try. Dry. Tn-Grid is dry also so I turned on Sidock and I don't really want to for now. First, their tasks are 1.5 days long and secondly they are are on the blacklist but the machines need feeding. |

If you sum up all regions (World Community Grid stats), you get the number: 117,805.
Yes, there is a big discrepancy between the previous number and 23,409. The percentage goes to about 1/5 my previous estimations, then: 0.134% for one download at a time or 3.2% for 24 downloads at a time. Yes, World Community Grid could/should be more precise about the labeling of the stats to avoid these doubts. I would argue that the number of active users stats should come before the total number of user stats, as the former is a much more relevant statistic than the latter. And perhaps 2 months is too much time to show a granular idea of what is happening, except if you need to take into account that people might want not to crunch during summertime (in this case, 2 months is actually too little). It´s a bit bizarre! If you didn´t have told me about the decrease in number of members, I wouldn´t have known about it yet. What reasons explain this? The maintenance from World Community Grid? Inflation? Climate change worries? Other reasons? |

If you sum up all regions (World Community Grid stats), you get the number: 117,805. Yes, there is a big discrepancy between the previous number and 23,409. That's probably the total number of accounts, active and inactive. It used to be larger but then WCG began deleting accounts after a certain period of time passed since the last login because of GDPR. - AMD Ryzen 5 1600AF 6C/12T 3.2 GHz - 85W - AMD Ryzen 5 2500U 4C/8T 2.0 GHz - 28W - AMD Ryzen 7 7730U 8C/16T 3.0 GHz |
