I have been getting a bit fed up with the apparently random and reduced points - it may be that I just don't really undestand what it is doing.

It is and also all the trouble over there has not helped, when they get back to work everything will be adjusted again it happened once before and they just tweeked it all to work correctly and also the DIMES were set correctly

I just assumed that it was something that ran automatically and so holidays etc wouldn't really affect it.

In case it isn't obvious I'm not a techie :lol:

It does run automatically it just gets bugs in there now and again and it needs a poke with a stick much like what happens to projects every now & again on BOINC

bit concerning - I uninstalled the dimes agent q few days ago now but, looking at the website, it still seems to be reporting things

Had this baby running now for 72 hours with zilcho credits so far. Does it usually take this long to see a return?  :?

There have been no stats updates since 24 Sept. It'll come right one day.

Is Dimes Dead?

Post by Martle »

This is the latest post on the Dimes forum : http://www.netdimes.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1379
Well, I've tried to PM Eran, Yoav, and Ela . . . and all went to my outbox . . . not sent.

I tried e-mailing Eran and Yuval and I will wait a couple days to see if they got through or were picked off by spam filters.

I tried calling Eran, but no answer or answering machine.

I called Yuval and left a message.

We'll have to wait a couple days to see if there's any response.

If I don't hear anything from anyone by Oct. 10th . . . I'm pulling the plug entirely on this project.
I wouldn't be that worried but noticed that early this afternoon all my agents lost contact with the servers.  :roll:

The fact that nobody is replying from NetDimes makes me wonder if this is the end of Dimes.  :cry:

Note the posts are all from members no staff around at all, something must be wrong in the background as they have never been away so long

Not watched the news in weeks so I don't know if radioactive beta bomber anthrax bricks are still being launched at their heads

DIMES is now totally dead in the water it doesn't do anything now, maybe some one will pop by to fix things but I doubt it now its been a long time now with all these errors

I spoke too soon. Only lasted a couple of hours and now it's down again. Still no communication from the staff on the boards. As a result of this, I've made up my mind not to waste any more processing cycles on this thing and to ditch the project completely.  :evil:
