QuoteEternity II: Infrastructure update: work supply and Windows telemetry
We are improving the BOINC infrastructure in two areas: continuous work supply so computers stay busy, and accurate live throughput reporting for Windows and Linux.

No work is discarded and ongoing tasks are not interrupted. We are validating each platform before publishing updates. Thank you for contributing your CPU time to the Eternity II search.

QuoteEternity II: Version 2.31 deployed on Windows and Linux
Version 2.31 of the Eternity II BOINC application is now available to all participants.

This update includes:

- Correct handling of task and project suspension: computations now actually stop when BOINC suspends them.
- Reliable resume after suspension or BOINC restart.
- Completed tickets are saved and are no longer recomputed after a restart.
- Improved checkpoint handling.
- More accurate reporting of real computed nodes and progress.
- Several stability improvements for both Windows and Linux.

The new version was tested with validated results on both platforms before deployment. BOINC clients will receive it automatically during their next communication with the server. Existing 2.29 tasks can finish normally.

Thank you to everyone who reported issues and helped test this update.

Not going to add that one till BOINCStats and/or FreeDC add it to their list. It looks a bit dodgy to me non BOINC web site and who is getting the $$ for the bitcoins ??

Having a quick squiz at what this project is about
"Eternity II is a concrete combinatorial game designed to be resistant to brute-force computational solving"

"Eternity II is classified as an NP-complete problem, with an estimated
10^557 possible arrangements, making it practically unsolvable by current computers without heuristics"

Sounds like a perfect project for BOINC

Like most maths problems it's great for making puzzles
