Thank you very much for the update.

And I agree with John, very well written, it gives a nice overview of your work also for me as a non-science guy. I wish all projects would release information like this.

The latest development version of Windows BOINC 7.3.10 detects the AVX feature of my Ivy Bridge according to the log, but it seems I still run the SSE3 versions of the app. I read that only Haswell supports the AVX app of Asteroids@home, is that true? Would it be possible to have an AVX app for earlier Intel processors as well?

Hi,

would it be possible to have a table on the start page with information which asteroid we are currently crunching for and at what percentage we are right now?

Many thanks

Edit: Like this page on the main project website: http://asteroidsathome.net/scientific_results.html

Regarding donations, you could also consider sending a mass email with some nice words and the reason to support the project with crunching power and money. State why you need better hardware and for what reason exactly and what the desired funding goal is. Then put a link to your donation page in the email. And then send it to the registered users who have set in their account to receive emails from the admin.

I´m pretty sure this could raise some additional money also fom people who didn´t know they could donate or they were too lazy until then to do so (like me haha).

Morning :-)

Just wanted to add some cents to the discussion around project marketing:

Releasing the windows app was already a great start to make this project more attractive and known to the people out there, so thank you very much for that.

Pretty important in Marketing and PR is to never stop the communication to the clients, in this case the crunchers (well, in the BOINC world a lot of projects actually haven´t really started to talk...) so if needed and you feel the projects needs more crunching power (maybe the current situation is good enough which is of course fine) then what you could do is to create a twitter and/or facebook and/or Google+ etc. account, make sure your RSS feed is included in some other external websites (boincstats, free-dc etc.) and post news about the progress of the project on this site. Those are all activities which doesn´t cost a thing except some time and would mark a good start.
