GoofyxGrid@Home

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Fri Nov 13, 2015 11:17 pm

Saw this over on the SUSA forum. New NCI project, which means it runs like WUProp and uses very little CPU resources. Best anyone can tell, it's main purpose is to earn WUProp hours and stars

http://goofyxgridathome.net/

I've not added TSBT as a team yet. I know you chaps are trying to get consistent team info/branding on the projects.

After Gridcoin Finance, which has a NCI app that does errrr...what does it actually do?, here we have a next shady app:
Some remarks from their homepage:
"GoofyxGrid@Home it's a boinc server for some project which we want to examine"
"Big respect for you guys for join to this project"

And have you looked at the name of the apps?

If you feed them peanuts you get monkeys....

Don't let that delay a team creation, if you want to be founder then go for it. We can always update the styles/brand later.

Sounds like a "fun" project.

It ain't pretty, but TSBT is there now. BTW, this is what the project is about...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem

'Fun' as in 'competing with other teams'

Android app coming soon.

How are you getting all your credits scole? Mine are very slow going...

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Sat Nov 14, 2015 9:17 pm

11 systems, each one completing a WU every hour @ 10 points per WU.

Janos (retired) · Post by **Janos (retired)** » Sat Nov 14, 2015 9:24 pm

Yup, that would do it!

I've requested some more to be able to run my complete fleet of assorted hardware relics. Might be able to get some 50-60 systems running when they comply....
I will need a job at the local power company by then too!

That is including my 80486 era systems (I asked for a FreeDOS 32 bit app too)
I have a RS/6000, so I've asked for AIX as well
And I asked for OS/2 for my PS/2 collection

Team brand updated to standard now. Thanks for the admin rights scole

Going to move this project over to it's own little home under miscelaneous projects.

New GoofyxGrid@Home app, Monkeys v2 - Word seeker, now running. Hope everyone got Monkeys v1 - Random generator to at least 100 hours for a WUProp bronze app.

Update: For the time being, Monkeys v1 - Random generator is still running! Cool, two WUProp apps with little CPU use...SWEET!

Looks like GoofyxGrid@Home is down for server maintenance and the V1 app is over.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Fri Mar 18, 2016 2:32 am

At least I made lime on V1 before it was gone. Hopefully a new app ?

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Fri Mar 18, 2016 10:16 pm

Goofy is back up and running.
V1 is still there though?

The admin said he would keep V1 going until he has the new app ready

I missed that bit, thanks Bryan.

Made lime on V1, thanks to the admin. V2 will follow soon.

Android pie and non-pie for Monkeys_v1 now is available

Oooooh, i'll have to have a look and see if I can get my droids to pick up some work then :)

Project admin still working out some kinks with which WUs are sent to which systems.

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Tue Jul 05, 2016 12:16 am

Did you have to do anything special Scole or just add the project?
I don't seem to have picked up any units yet.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Tue Jul 05, 2016 12:51 am

How long have you had them attached? My didn't pick any up until overnight. If it's been more than 24 hours, try resetting the project or detaching and re-joining.

Silver · Post by **Silver** » Tue Jul 05, 2016 5:49 pm

One of them now has picked up work overnight.
The other one is a bit funny and doesn't seem to like doing anything I want it to, so I just leave it alone crunching enigma. I'll maybe plug in a monitor and see what it's up to.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 8:08 pm

Goofyx is about to unleash the v3 and v4 apps...I've tested a few, but they all errored out.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 8:51 pm

Will they still be NCI apps?

Post by **Bryan** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 9:23 pm

They are both NCI. I'm getting V3s but haven't gotten any V4 yet. I haven't run them long enough to finish yet.

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 10:20 pm

I checked my stuff. I've been getting them too. A bunch of comp errors on them. I have a handful of V3 that have completed successfully and some V4 that seem to be running ok.

Post by **Dirk Broer** » Thu Oct 27, 2016 11:36 pm

All four run for about the same time and get as much credits as the others (10 per completed WU).

Post by **Bryan** » Fri Oct 28, 2016 1:15 am

And HERE is what the new badges look like. I like new badges they give me warm fuzzies :bounce:

Was quite surprised to fire up my laptop and find 4 monkeys apps all happily crunching away.

You should have seen my face when I managed to get all active QCN projects (6, also nci), plus WuProp, plus the four Goofyx AND Enigma running on my ARM11 powered Raspberry Pi B+! Too bad I can't yet let the Sensehat talk with QCN, there seems to be a power problem (as in not enough juice).

Post by **scole of TSBT** » Fri Nov 04, 2016 12:34 am

I wish there were more NCI projects like GoofyGrid where the goal of the project does not necessarily require raw computing power but rather a large population of devices performing low intensity tasks.

Especially if they harnessed the power of billions of droids

4 mil/day + 50k WUProp hours/day per app...is that the best you can do?

Actually no, I have another 8-10 VMs I'm going to light up and I don't have the 11 RPIs running

I was afraid if I turned everything on I wouldn't be able remain anonymous and blend in :bounce:

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Dec 25, 2016 7:49 pm

Do you have to fire up VM's or will it work by starting multiple clients on the same machine. I know that doesn't work with WUProp but does with most projects, just wondered if it was a project or a NCI thing.

Alez · Post by **Alez** » Sun Dec 25, 2016 8:06 pm

Answered my own question, you can also fire up multiple clients rather than using VM's.
