Asteroids was one of the most consistent projects in terms of work units, but recently it seems that there is problem with the server and a lack of work units. Can someone in the team give us an update please thanks.

Apologies for the recent outages. Another DDoS attack hit the server, and it took the admin some time to secure it against those malicious actors.
The web should be accessible now and we're still reviewing the configuration, but new work will be available soon.

thanks for the info


1.) a wish:

Most boincers are just irked when we don't know what's going on.
If we get some info, then we can be patient and wait until it's fixed.
So when the project-site is down or attacked, we would look for info on the Boinc Message Board,
(not discord, Whats App or whatever - because we signed up for a boinc-project and not discord, Whats App or whatever),
so a message on the Boinc Message Board would be really helpful.


2.) a question:

Are those random DDoS on the University network,
or is someone attacking this project-server specifically and repeatedly?!

have a good day and tomorrow to

1. very few BOINC admins post updates directly on BOINC message boards. that forum is mostly for BOINC specific issues, not project specific issues. almost all project issues posted there are done so by third party user reports. BOINC is only a platform to host projects and they have no real control or interaction of the projects directly. the projects merely use their software. look at WCG, they mostly post updates on Facebook and Twitter/X or whatever. if the website itself is unreachable, i probably wouldnt expect to be able to get any direct info unless through third parties/platforms just like other projects do.

I have the same problem. I am not receiving any CPU units even though the server has enough units to send.
