Work availability for Gridcoin whitelisted projects - 21/Feb/18

Here is the weekly work-unit (WU) availability update for whitelisted Gridcoin projects.

Let me start with the acceptance of the Greylist process, initiated and developed by @GUK. Thanks to his efforts we now have a very helpful procedure to create clarity and fairness in rewarding Gridcoin for project contributions.

The projects

This is the third week of beta WUs with limited output for Sourcefinder. Based on the new greylist criteria it can't be greylisted but there is still the poll to delist the project, which will finish in 2 weeks. Below I have added the latest chart with daily credit allocation for the project.

While waiting for a BOINC software update, Universe@home is still lacking of WUs and as a result it is greylisted. On the forum it is mentioned that the issue should be resolved in the coming weeks so hopefully they will be whitelisted again soon.

DrugDiscovery@Home is greylisted as well. This project has an intermittent supply of work and may come back as well in the coming period.

Besides the greylisting of projects above, there are some other projects that have difficulties with supply of work. Here is an overview:

• SRBase: Time constraints of the project owner to keep the queue filled
• Citizen Science Grid: Disk issue on the server (link)
• theSkynet POGS: Shortage of WUs, which will be resolved in the coming days (link)
• TN-Grid: Has sufficient work but the WUs are short in duration causing issues to keep the queue filled (link)

Finally, @GUK's WU availability summary with all whitelisted and greylisted Gridcoin projects.

Thanks for reading. Follow me for more BOINC & Gridcoin related articles.
