Hello all and greetings.

I had tried E@H earlier today for GPU-only work (while SETI was doing DB maintenance).

Did not get any WU. Did get an error I have not seen before.

I have done E@H on this PC before without any problem.

The BOINC event logs says:

Is the "don't trust" line significant???

About Task History:
I could see only one other WU for this PC - but it was completed and validated..

http://einsteinathome.org/host/11712585/tasks

I wanted to share the logs.

Anyone else seeing this??

Suggestions??

Strange error when trying to get work: Not Trusted

I don't think that it does not trust your physical host or connection, it's just a sign that your host had more errors than the BOINC client software allows for a host to be trusted very much (result-quality).

A project might prefer trusted hosts to send out specific results that they really really really need to be correct. I do not think that this flag is used in this project.

Some projects use the 'trust'

Some projects use the 'trust' status when they send out units that do not have wingmen, ie PrimeGrid, once you get to a 'trusted' host status you can crunch without wingmen anymore to validate your work. Meaning they 'trust' that your pc will return valid work, once you start returning junk your status will drop to 'don't trust' and you will see wingmen again on your units. I believe they periodically assign wingmen just to ensure your pc is still 'trusted' though. It's the old 'trust but verify' thing.
