For the last two days there has been 1 task in progress (someone has a slow comp)
But just 85 Successes last 24h
That is a 0.001857% utilization of hosts.

There is also that error in the code that tells you the "feeder is not running"

What I am getting at, is this project dead?

At the moment it's just really, really inert. From looking at the boincmgr statistics it appears to run in spurts. Two or three days of work, followed by five to eight days of nothing. Currently it's showing day six or seven of nothing. I was hoping for a break starting Monday morning, but it doesn't seem to have arrived. So, I've turned on WCG and it's keeping my putters busy, worst case is Einstein if nothing else is pushing out tasks (but lately their stuff is wanting prodigious amounts of memory so I've severely restricted their taskings).

That 1 task is actually completed now, I notice. Only 15 users in the last 24hrs.
That said, Boincstats does show there's been reported results on each of the last 40 days.
Just that very few individuals will catch any. I've had work on only 4 days since Jan 2nd. Nothing to get our teeth into.
So, not quite dead and we live in hope for another burst of activity.

The solution to the "feeder not running" problem is here
