Thanks to Uania for taking this pioneering step in volunteer computing. Thanks also to Vitalii Koshura and Natalia Nikitina for their work in getting BOINC and the SiDock app running on the Uania platform. ]]> Tue, 04 Oct 2022 04:40:52 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=361 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=361 here.

This version fixes a problem that prevented BOINC from communicating with several projects and account managers. ]]> Mon, 18 Oct 2021 05:10:53 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=348 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=348
To fix this problem, download a new version of the file, then move it to the

C:/Program Files/BOINC

directory.

This is a temporary fix. We hope to release a new version of the client that won't have this problem in the future. ]]> Tue, 05 Oct 2021 07:48:55 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=326 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=326 Certificate of Computation.

It shows the science projects behind Science United and how computing power is being divided among them. ]]> Mon, 21 Sep 2020 09:20:07 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=219 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=219 -- David ]]> Tue, 08 Sep 2020 20:48:20 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=132 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=132
One of the science projects in Science United - Rosetta@home - is doing research involving coronavirus proteins; details are here. We have increased the allotment of Rosetta@home so that it will get most of the CPU power of Science United. Other projects may launch coronavirus-related research soon. We hope that Science United can help fight the pandemic. Thanks for participating, and stay well. ]]> Thu, 19 Mar 2020 21:56:39 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=80 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=80 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 19:06:07 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=77 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=77
You can control the frequency of these emails here. Note: we just fixed a problem that caused everyone to get an email every day. Sorry for the inconvenience. ]]> Tue, 02 Apr 2019 03:18:09 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=59 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=59 World Community Grid (WCG) is a BOINC project that supports a range of humanitarian research. WCG has its own way of registering; accounts can be created only on the web, not via server-to-server communication. Until recently this prevented it from being included in Science United.

We fixed this by having all Science United computing use a single WCG account. We made the same change for Einstein@home, which recently switched to web-only account creation. We may do the same for all projects; there's no real reason to use different project accounts for different SU users.

This doesn't impact SU users, except that instead of user names like "Science United user 3ac9082d" you'll just see "Science United". ]]> Tue, 29 Jan 2019 09:00:44 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=38 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=38 Fri, 09 Nov 2018 23:21:35 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=32 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=32 here. The main visible change is that, in the Manager's advanced view, the user name shown for projects is your Science United user name, rather than a random anonymous name. ]]> Thu, 18 Oct 2018 21:11:41 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=31 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=31 let me know if not.

We did this in part to prepare for EU-GDPR (new rules involving data privacy) but it turns out to simplify SU (no need to deal with password mismatches). It also increases security because your email address and hashed SU password are no longer sent to projects. ]]> Fri, 27 Apr 2018 22:16:06 GMT https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=1 https://scienceunited.org/forum_thread.php?id=1 Read this first.
