I also wouldn't trust that list

I'm not sure I would trust that list. I'm running AMD, I'm sure I am not the only one but there are none on the list.

I believe everyone that is trying to (re-)add the project is also having the same issue. As you probably know they had a big crash and were out of action for months, I don't think they are fully back to normality (I know current users started getting work a few days back which seems to have dried up).

It is curious that 2 new users have signed up in the last 24 hours but maybe they too couldn't add the project.

From memory, the credit is given if there's an issue like this. But I wouldn't worry anyway as it looks like he is aware of the issue and is working on it (the error message is now about the server being temporarily offline for maintenance instead of being out of space).

Crunch away and have faith that all will be well.

It has started working now. This happens reasonably often so get used to it. It pays to crunch a few projects (this morning two of my projects had no work).

Research takes time, writing papers takes time, getting reviews takes time, getting publications accepted takes time.

Here is a arxiv paper submitted last year.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.02909

I assume that this is the arxiv version of the paper they mention in the 2015 update.

And in fact just poking around the internet I see that they did get it published

http://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/abs/2016/03/aa27573-15/aa27573-15.html

So yeah that's a success and should have been announced (although I assume they are mostly still the same discoveries mentioned in the 2015 update).

Looking at papers that cite their's

I see some of the authors have collaborated with others which is great, (some papers mention Asteroids@home, some don't)
http://www.aanda.org/component/citedby/?task=crossref&doi=10.1051/0004-6361/201527573


Maybe I am cutting these guys too much slack but I feel comparing these guys to Rosetta@home might be a bit unfair. I am assuming that Rosetta have a much larger team working on that project, whereas it seems Asteroids@home is a team of four from a few different institutions.
