Hi everyone, here’s a brief follow up from last Friday’s update .

The good news is that new WUs have been sent out to some volunteers. Remember that while these WUs are from supported research projects, we remain in a testing phase to find issues within our system before we can fully increase the rate of workunits made available. We would appreciate it if volunteers report any issues encountered to the forum (more on that below).

Unfortunately, the distribution rate is even lower than we planned for this phase of the rollout due to a networking issue in the data center that is being currently investigated, expected to be resolved in the coming days. At least until this fix is applied, we will not be able to send WUs to everyone. We will update you when this is fixed.

Next, since several of you suggested it, we are aggregating a comprehensive list of past and present issues reported by volunteers from the forum. Many threads have reported the same or similar issues that have already been resolved or addressed elsewhere and we agree with forum users who have pointed out that reading dozens of forum posts to find the answers to specific questions is not very intuitive. Therefore, we will post and continuously update a single thread that includes all currently reported issues and if possible, any solutions to them that we can provide.

The thread can be viewed here .

TL;DR: New WUs are being sent out, albeit at a slower rate than usual for a brief time. Also, we are working on making a forum thread that compiles every past and present issue for your convenience.

Thank you for your support, patience and understanding.

Here’s to a great week!
