Why do I loose points in the last time? On april the 17th to the 18th and 26th to 27th.Two posts before yours, Eric explained why. And there was yet another db crash. This time the backup was only a few days old. This explains the point difference on April 27th. |

Sad that after the first crash nothing really changed. For me Gerasim is dead. I hope the Numberfield@home server will be last until the end of the project. Maybe it's time to search for another Project as a backup if the numberfields@home server dies? |

Please contact Yoyo from the Yoyo@home project to shift the processing from Gerasim to Yoyo@home as a new subproject. Gerasim simply is not reliable at all. Michael. P.S.: For the second time, I lost massive credits - in fact, the entire output from 2026 is gone (not just a month or so...). It was about 4 million credits, which is half of my total output for that project so far. Most importantly, however, is the fact that all the results are gone. That is useless CO2 production to foster climate change at its best... President of Rechenkraft.net |

Please contact Yoyo from the Yoyo@home project to shift the processing from Gerasim to Yoyo@home as a new subproject. yoyo is at least Gridcoin whitelisted like Numberfields is, and has maintained their whitelisting so there will be much better reliability. The only issue is the whitelisting page indicates they dont have GPU support https://gridcoin.us/guides/whitelist.htm |

Please contact Yoyo from the Yoyo@home project to shift the processing from Gerasim to Yoyo@home as a new subproject. I was downloading the results every week or two, so not much was lost. It was the crunchers who lost a ton of credit. Good to know about yoyo. I will give Gerasim a little more time - they are currently trying to find the root cause of the database crashes and are implementing more frequent backups. |

Have you tried complaining on the Gerasim boards? I have no control over their backup protocalls, I just upload work and download results. Gerasim's message boards never came back after that last major crash. Not like they were good for anything anyways...just like now. Maybe stop sending him work until you know he knows what the hell he is doing? I'm not trying to be an arse, but he has proven he SHOULD NOT be running a project. Please contact Yoyo from the Yoyo@home project to shift the processing from Gerasim to Yoyo@home as a new subproject. I like this idea. As long as there will be a GPU app for Windows I would happily support YoYo for this subproject. |

**** Meanwhile, NumberField@Home received about 80k completed and validated results from Gerasim. (I think this is not bad). :) **** Думаю "Maxtor 160 GB" - не самое подходящее место для бэкапа .. **** Всем привет и хорошего настроения! |

Please contact Yoyo from the Yoyo@home project to shift the processing from Gerasim to Yoyo@home as a new subproject. Well, the subprojects in Yoyo@home simply don't have GPU apps - yet. Of course, Eric needs to contact Yoyo for the details but to the best of my knowledge, anything could be integrated as long as the required Apps are supplied plus a proper specification of what are the input and what the output files.

Agree. Whilst my loss of credits is low compared to others I have deselected Gerasim. I don’t like wasting time … |

**** "I don't think the "Maxtor 160 GB" is the most suitable place for a backup..." Seriously!? You just proved to the volunteers that you should not be running a project then. |

**** Maxtor? Are you saying that you are using about twenty years old HDD????? ETA: The only good thing that data recovery would be relatively cheap... |

Почему уже несколько дней не происходит синхронизация с boincstats? Не хватает около 5 миллионов точек. |

Hello, vonboedefeldt. Почему уже несколько дней не происходит синхронизация с boincstats? Полагаю, Вы используете Gerasim IP adress for acceses to stats. Это неправильно (for Gerasim). Use full completed URL string. **** https://gerasim.boinc.ru/stats/ **** ---- Last generated stats ---- 6/13/2026 5:58 AM 3477 country.xml.gz 6/13/2026 5:58 AM 845 db_dump.xml 6/13/2026 5:58 AM 236979 host.xml.gz 6/13/2026 5:58 AM 2275 tables.xml 6/13/2026 5:58 AM 37263 team.xml.gz 6/13/2026 5:58 AM 457889 user.xml.gz 5/22/2010 7:42 PM 168 web.config **** |

Server status looks good but some of the Stat's being exported are not updating daily From BOINCStats Last update user XML 2026-05-29 09:58:01 UTC (14 days 19:25:28 old) Last update host XML 2025-12-07 13:58:00 UTC (187 days 15:25:29 old) Last update team XML 2026-06-13 01:58:00 UTC (03:25:29 old) |

I think I just need to remind everyone of some obvious things that people tend to forget. 1. For several years now, boincstats has been hosted behind Cloudflare. 2. In the country where Gerasim is located, Cloudflare is banned (and all IP addresses associated with it are blocked via DPI based on the "AS"—Autonomous System—if you know what that is). 3. Naturally, the boincstats site itself does not load for us. 4. Of course, this problem could be overcome. 5. Unfortunately, no one at boincstats is interested in doing so (they simply ignore correspondence). This applies to more than just Gerasim's site/statistics. For example, an issue with boincstats that had been known since 2018 was only fixed on May 25, 2026. 6. Anyone can always cross-check the data against other sources. For instance, stats.free-dc.org shows accurate statistics for Gerasim and other sites. That is simply because, in this case, the people involved understand what they are doing and how to do it. I believe it is more appropriate to direct any questions regarding incorrect data on boincstats to them directly. At the moment, the statistics from https://stats.free-dc.org/proj/ger match Gerasim's data almost perfectly. There is a lag of only about one day. |

Почему уже несколько дней не происходит синхронизация с boincstats?Am I correct in understanding that you used an automatic translator? If I’ve understood you correctly, your post actually contains two separate questions. I’ve already provided a detailed answer to the first question above. As for the second question: I need permission from SerVal to proceed. I do have an idea of exactly how to go about it. Some tests have already been run, and the results were successful. I realize I won't be able to get it done immediately. But if I start now, everything could be fixed in about two or three weeks... |
