Sorry, but can we keep posts on TOPIC. This is an Einstein@Home forum.

Idefix, you will find that the use of a trux calibrating BOINC client and a Akosf E@H client is ideal. What happens with SETI is really not relevant to this BB.

FD.

There are a lot of myths around Trux's client. I just wanted to clarify things -- regardless where they were posted.

[edit]
By the way ...

Correct me if I'm wrong. But as far as I know Einstein will implement a new credit system with S5 which isn't based on the time * benchmark system anymore. So, the question "Do I have to turn off calibration?" will also apply to Einstein shortly ...

Cheers, Mike.

YES !

Donloaded

bs_current.rar

unrar created this dir

BoincStudio with this .exe

BoincStudio.exe

that has no help no docs and each time I try

BoincStudio.exe -help

it opens a fullscreen similar of that of BoincView

How
do I connect my actual running hosts (spread aroud my country)
to BoincStudio ???

btw: no boinc.exe was supplyed too

no docummentation was supplyed in any idiom, nor the source code

I have no time to disassembly the the exe, and study the assembler code
of the disassembly, to learn how to use BoincStudio.exe

Thus, no "Calibtration"
* I am stuck with crunch3r boinc 5.5.5 for now

*Cannot use Trux cause I use BAM
and I have no access to my pcs other than via BAM

After all, I even get granted on Quorum about two times what I claim -:)

Thanks

Take a look here. It is a

Take a look here. It is a Google Translation of the BS web site, go to support and click on adding a new machine. Notice the screen shot of the settings tab, if the port displayed doesn't work try 31416.

There are two sets of files

Message 26633 in response to message 26631

There are two sets of files to make BoincStudio work. One is the BoincStudio program itself, the other is the client files for Boinc - Boinc.exe BoincMgr.exe and Boinc.dll - make sure you get both.

What's the problem? I use Crunch3R's 5.5.0 on one of my machines and it calibrates just fine.

Since my machines are somewhat slow, I don't have the curse of 32, and do not see any need for using Studio.

The problem is that using crunch3r 5.5.0 I am claiming about half
of what others are claiming for the same WU , and by luck this
sometimes cheat others, when I get granted what I claimed.

Otherwise it is fine ... I get granted about double what I claimed -:)

ps: I am still stuck on how to use BoincStudio -:(

I sucessfully connected one existing client , but "no credits correction"
was made at all

When I try starting a new client, there is a message "boinc already running"

How to start 2nd copy of boinc without this message ?

How do I limit to download only 1 file at a time ? 28800 bps link !

How do I use "credits correction" on einstein only ? (if this worked)

How to make credits correction work for remote pcs ? (tcp/ip only, via Internet)

Sure, very difficult to setup -:(

Hi! Finally I figured out

Hi!

Finally I figured out how to run two instances of boinc on same 1 cpu pc -:)
use: http://www.vmware.com and creates a virtual pc!

I am now able to crunch HashClash with boinc 5.5.0 and einstein
with boincstudio -> Work nicely.

the feature of boinctsudio to limit cpu usage,
allows me to the "share" the usage of my cpu power among the two boinc(s) apps
I like of the boincstudio "backup project" too -:)

However seems that BoincStudio is unable to use a Socks 5 proxy -:(

And the "copy" and "update" features of BoincStudio, wipes out the
"debugging capabilities of boinc 5.4.9" -> need by ralph@home crunchers
cause it renames *all* dll(s) and exe(s) existing on the boinc installation
folder, when these funcions are used -:(

Couldt'n it rename only boinc.exe and boinc.dll ???

Nice program -:! (only I need to "update" manually) -> I crunch ralph too!

ps: not figured out how to limit to download/upload only 1 file at a time
perhaps a "new feature" to next boincstudio version ?

Thanks

How about BASIC or Logo? lol

Wasn't part of my training 36 years ago. Did they even run on IBM 360/20? lol
Sorry, folks, but I let it all drop, and at the wrong time. What a waste!


I don't remember BASIC used in the old IBM 360 days at all, mostely COBAL and Asemblyer languages. Fortran was also used for Scientific things. Oh how I hated all those punch cards that you needed for a program. The JCL was always fun also.

When I retired there were still a lot of mainframe people there who were having a hard time changeing over to the PC's.

Try the Pizza@Home project, good crunching.
