Hi,

problems on some days ago was from internet provider connection, but it should be resolved during the day.

Actually all seems fine.

Unfortunately the timeout of BOINC in report a workunit is a feature that I did not like at all.
If a uses miss the sending in time of a WU, BOINC will send the WU to another user, so it can be complete, but it rejects to give credits when the original solution come back.

I think that it will be more good if when the original solution come back that credits will be gave to that people. For example there are some (critical) projects (not in this case) that a WU is processed at least 3 times from different people to be sure that the result is correct: receiving a 4 result will enforce that solution.

From what I know, the security of BOINC will reject to use an application that is not firmed by the private key of the server using the public key of it, so compiling it will not make it to process WU.

However Progger as the source code of them, so he must replay for that.
4) Message boards : News : Lightning bolt (Message 3755)
Posted 16 days ago by ice00
Post:
There was a lightning bolt on 1/4/2024 in the night that damage (e.g. they broke) many electrical devices in the area (1Km^2).
Internet connection were restored only in the morning (as provider is at 200m distance of the server and it was damaged too).

Even if the server is behind a power supply, it get in non operational state (e.g the data disk was disconnected), maybe due to the heavy electrical current it passes onto the battery power supply.

Every disk of the server were un-mount from it and tested in another machine and all data were ok, even if the server did not boot properly.

Now it is running in emergency mode (e.g. it need a manual start up, so if it restart from eventual current blackout, it will no boot) and I will monitoring if all is going right.

During the weekend, I will work on fix it, so the server will be disconnected for some times during the day.

Remember that if the internet connection is on and the server is off, you can see some message here: http://boinc-status.multi-pool.info/ about his state.

Please, remember to set up a backup BOINC project in case of emergency. Thanks.

7) Message boards : News : New K-Tuple competition (Message 3742)
Posted 8 Jan 2024 by ice00
Post:
So ice00 if I understand you correctly, you are looking for application developers to create a new search program for K-Tuples.


No, the competition is an incentive to find solution to open problems for K-Tuple: a mathematician could prove a theorem that solves a task, or he could write a program to find solutions by exploiting some property of prime numbers.


Nothing to do with Latinsquares or SPT projects. As a BOINC cruncher it seems a waste of time to run both projects then?


The competition is not for BOINC crunchers: ODLK1 still searches for Latin Square.

Post:
The competition is for K-Tuple, not Latin Square, so it is to manually find them, not with this Boinc programs tasks.

It is for people with a mathematical background that use (if available) or build the programs they need to try to find the solutions in the provided tasks.

Winner will be determine by the solutions provides for the 7 tasks.


p.s.
This BOINC project was born after running the previous competitions (all with prime numbers) for let all people participating in find solution to Latin Square problem by just donating CPU power (e.g. with a competition of 3 months on Latin Square, the solution that could be find will be very little compared with actual DB of solution gave by ODLK1) .

Post:
With the new year we organized a new K-Tuple competition:

https://primesmagicgames.altervista.org/wp/primes-k-tuple-2/

The competition will last 3 months and is for finding new result about some k-tuple open problems (there are 7 tasks).

Unless this Boinc project were all contribute to find solutions in latin squares field donating CPU power, the competition is for people that like to code programs and experiment with mathematics to find new solution by them-self.

For this project instead, the DB with all the solutions will be available as soon as November and December months will be finished to being processed for dividing the solution by their ranks.

Thanks

hi,

there were posted a solution into the forum from a user to this problem that could bypass it using external tools.

However now that the SO is the latest it will more easy to fix the problem (that is related to authentication of stmp server)
20) Questions and Answers : Web site : this domain is blocked by my firewall for exploits (Message 3708)
Posted 13 Sep 2023 by ice00
Post:
Hi,

the multi-pool.info is the domain I registered since 2013 and is not shared with others.

As at the time of registration I had many services active (in one server), so I register some DNS, one for each service (for example emc.multi-pool.info, fuel.multi-pool.info and so on), but all points to the same IP address.

Now, instead, I have 2 servers active, one for Boinc and one for my activities, so there is two DNS that points to 2 different ip (boinc.multi-pool.info and boinc-status.multi-pool.info)
