Validator not running

The project is still alive, plenty of us still running it. The community is pretty dead though, not much to say!

The map no longer works due to changes by Google, I doubt that it will ever be fixed.

Sensors are available sporadically, and you need one to participate. You just have to check for announcements of a new batch. Could be years between batches.

Not sure what you mean about the server status page, but I guess you mean the up/down status being disabled - It isn't, that's a bug in the ancient server code used here.

I was going to suggest that you didn't add the sensor again when you moved it to a new machine on 16th September last year, but I don't think it's that because ...

Around 25th February your awarded credit per task drops to half, which is what happens when a sensor isn't registered. There's a few odd run times and abandoned tasks around that date, so it looks like something you did then.

Looking at my own tasks over that period everything is fine, and still is now, so I don't think it's a server problem. But what do I know :)

It's related to the hardware. Could be a dead USB port, dodgy USB lead, broken sensor, something else on the USB root hub blocking the sensor.

Less likely crappy antivirus software, flaky OS update.

Wild guess - You've started running a QCN project - That will screw up the sensor because it polls USB so rapidly.

Obvious question ... Does the sensor show signs of life? Reasonable reading, reading changes, i.e. not frozen?

Since several days, tasks are completed, validated but not credited - what is going wrong? Before, the same machine got credits using the same sensor...

Can't access your account page, but your tasks are at http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/results.php?hostid=19659

Just picking one at random ...

So you'll you'll need to figure out if it's a power, USB or sensor problem somehow.

Might be an idea to fix the validator that's been down for 2 weeks before expecting anyone to show much interest. Just saying.

It's time for the annual 'validator down' post!

Merry Christmas :)

I'm just wondering if I can still get a kit, or if there are pre-existing pieces of equipment that work with this program?

There's been no new 'official' hardware for years.

However, have a look at this thread: http://radioactiveathome.org/boinc/forum_thread.php?id=160, particularly the latest posts.

^^^ "The project uses dedicated hardware sensor; without it the app does nothing and no credits are granted"

So, either you don't have a sensor, or there's a connection problem. I'll wager the former ;)
