I presume that this thread is where one is "supposed" to contact the people who run this project?
Well you can have our 4 cents worth right now. What the hell do you guys think you are playing at? No way are we, or anyone else going to sign up for a project, however science worthy, that puts out untested beta stuff as standard crunching fodder. Weve got machines that haven't reported for up to a week, and thats not acceptable.
On SETI our team averaged an RAC of ~4000, and clocked up over a million, not to be sniffed at. Since signing up for Einstein we've got an RAC of 600 after a fortnight and a total of 11,000.
We'll give you 10 days to get your act together or we're off, lock stock and barrel, elsewhere.
For and on behalf of BT Retired Club

Let's keep perspective. Even tho there's serious science involved, on the side of the BOINC contributers it's supposed to be a volunteer, fun thing. There's no need to be so tense or speak in term of ultimatums. I completely agree with Annika here.

You joined voluntarily and you can reverse course without even a whimper from the rest of us.

The first trip to the moon is impressive, but your stats are not the equivalent of a trip to the moon and you are not the first to visit.

Why wait? I doubt the staff will get its act together by your ultimatum.
...(Yawn)... without the BT Retired Club one wonders how the universe ever survived to become 4.6(?) billion years old. It's a miracle. I guess the rest of us will just have to tighten our belts and discover gravity waves all by our selves.
