Look up top under Computing/Applications and you can answer your own question.

Thanks, Paul. I only had to turn on the heat briefly after I returned home from work, as the house had cooled significantly during my shift. I loaded up some Yoyo and YAFU in the interim, pretty close to the next milestones on those two, so I decided to take advantage of the 'down time'.

I sincerely appreciate the reply! Good to know a few folks are hanging around. :)

edit: this is a good resource for projects that have work also:

I wish they would weed out the no longer active Projects!!

Not seeing this issue on my account. 245 valid tasks for 49,000 credits which is exactly what my account total here shows.

The TAAT page gets data once a day and will lag behind the project site. This is the case for every project.

The topic was started as there's now several times more credit per day while run times are the same.


I have 2631 valid tasks as of right that should come out to 526,200 credits yet on my account page I have 1,098,200 credits.

I think the answer is yes, but I'd like to confirm. The project doesn't work on Windows, is that correct? Do I need to have Linux in order to be able to download WUs to crunch?


Yes BUT...if you were to setup Linux under Windows, WSL, then yes you could crunch the tasks in that workspace. It would be like working in an Office building and walking to the cubicle next to you to do something on a different pc.
9) Message boards : Number crunching : some problem on BOINC server

In reply to Abruraspingi's message of 29 Oct 2025:
This Project links to https://spacious.ub.edu/

Are you saying that they aren't connected?


No we are talking about Teams that individual users are on and support by crunching for them. Apparently someone didn't import the Teams in Boinc on the Server side so we users cqan connect to our existing Team and when I try to 'create' my Team at Spaciousathome I get this message:
"
Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "TEAM_CREATE_NEED_CREDIT" in /DATA/projects/spaciousathome/html/user/team_create_form.php:30 Stack trace: #0 /DATA/projects/spaciousathome/html/user/team_create_form.php(30): constant() #1 {main} thrown in /DATA/projects/spaciousathome/html/user/team_create_form.php on line 30"

And that's fine EXCEPT I already have 88,600 credits/points here at Spaciousathome

Good day to all. I'm not the original sender of this message. But I received this message by mistake in my website's contact form, with no name nor email given. Just in case is something valuable, I registered just to post it here. Obviously I cannot answer any follow ups.

I am the founder of BOINC@AUSTRALIA and would like you to do one or both of the following on your BOINC server.:1. Fix the Team creation page as it does not work even if you have credit. atal error: Uncaught Error: Undefined constant "TEAM_CREATE_NEED_CREDIT" in /DATA/projects/spaciousathome/html/user/team_create_form.php:30 Stack trace: #0 /DATA/projects/spaciousathome/html/user/team_create_form.php(30): constant() #1 {main} thrown in /DATA/projects/spaciousathome/html/user/team_create_form.php on line 302. Use the BOINC Wide Teams function on the BOINC Server to load all the Registered Teams. This stopps people from Highjacking Team Names and creating problems for long established Teams likemine. 3. Ensure the email system is working on the BOINC Server to send passwords to the Team Founders if you load BOINC Wide Teams.Thank you from me and all the BOINC Team founders that this problem relates to.


You could put it in the "Team creation not available" thread.
