SLinCA@Home (new boinc project)

[NeoGen]

SLinCA (Scaling Laws in Cluster Aggregation) is a research project that uses Internet-connected computers to do research in field of materails science. You can participate by downloading and running a free program on your computer.

Never heard of this around the forums, but I see a good bunch of people already in it and our Team created... come on guys, don't keep it a secret!

Account creation is open, but that's about it... no work for us... looking at the news on the mainpage their server seems to have more problems than windows has bugs.

You forgot to include a link, so here it is SLinCA@Home, sorry about not posting this myself, didn't even think about it.

As usual ... unable to get the password email sent to my email address. Stupid BOINC!!!!

Help please can someone with access post the usual message on the forum boards please?

Also how do you read the Russian script? When I click on the thead entitles How to change the forum language to English it still displays in Russian for me.

[liuqyn]

their forums are a separate log on, use this Link for instructions in English (with pictures) one how to create forum account and then you can post about getting access.

[vaughan]

Gee that's hard work. I registered (eventuall) but don't know how to post my message.

As I said before BOINC wide teams is a right royal pain.

The SlinCA server appears to have run out of disk space for the moment.

Vaughan, could you PM me your BoincWideTeam logon please.
I would like to look at the config and find out what may be causing the issue.
I intend to run a test on your account using my email address and then switch it back to yours.
Or you can run that test yourself and I will forward you any email that I receive.

boinc wide teams doesn't setup the passwords for the new projects, only the user account and team creation. it is then up to the project to setup their email system so the team leader can request an account access key for initial logon. it seams most new projects as of late fail to do this and all the team leaders are locked out until the admins get around to fixing the problem.

[AMDave]

That's what I thought too.
But then I observed in the early stats that some team founders are able to access ok.
In that case, I hypothesized that it would not be a systemic problem but some difference in configuration.
That said, I suspect that if the BOINC server email defaults to port-25 could also produce a similar behaviour where some outgoing emails are blocked and some are not.
Those are the two theories that I have.
The best I can do is have a look at it and do some tests to try to eliminate the alternatives

Looks like being leader is not what I thought it would be, Sorry Vaughan!

[AMDave]

Taking point has some obvious hazards.
On the flip side it can often be exhilarating.
It depends on the realization that is arrived at at the time.
Sometimes good.
Sometimes bad.
But always right on the edge and the first to know.
