New Project - Nickeycat: MUlti-SErvice Network

[Dataman]

Another new project. I do not know what this one does either but it is a NCI using almost no resources. I joining and am running a wu (they take ~ 13 min. for 9 credits) but could not join a team. Also got a windows firewall violation. I did not approve communication but that did not seem to matter.

EDIT: Apparently one can only get 1 wu at a time as with WUProp.

I attached one machine and created the Team.  we are Team #1 for now till he downloads the BOINC wide Teams info. Got a Firewall message to allow access, I also do not know what this does so run at your own peril.  

I stopped the work unit running till I find out what this is.  It is running a program called i2pstats and I am not sure of what it is collecting.
It might be my data ??    https://github.com/str4d/i2p-collector/tree/master/client

Thanks Sean. +1 That is more info than I could find. I joined the team. I will probably shut it down today until I can find out what is going on. There are only 5 people that have retured a wu.

EDIT: I removed the project and posted my concerns on their message board (and at WCG where I first learned of the project).

This project is shutting down.
I just visited their website and saw this posted in the news section ...

Final news
Hi friends!
Not enough time to maintain the project. It is necessary to solve tasks in real life.
Hope this was interesting to someone.
Final shutdown after October 20th.
Good luck

Edit :
Just noticed that Tomáš Brada has offered to help keep the project going ...

I offer you to start a collaboration with me.
