Project Update

I snagged some ARP work to try it out.  Ran fine, but the uploads are terrible.  They're still using a dial-up connection to their upload server.

Can WCGdo anything right? It surely doesn't have any good will left

[chooka03]

I just read the announcement about this. I find it strange?
Some quick searching of Nibi Cloud and I came up with Nibi Services. If this is the same company, Nibi Services is based in Ecuador!

https://nibistudios.com/en/services/

Seems a bit obscure?
I can't access the WCG home page any more due to the migration but I'm keen to hear more about this. (Assuming I have the company right) 

[Abruraspingi]

Yes their two hour outage will probably be four months

 I couldn't find anything on Nibi Cloud

[Abruraspingi]

Well that lot of work did not last long, received approx 150 work units over night and it has dried up already - I do not understand what is going on with this project - nothing on the home page etc.

On their site there was mention of a stress test. They sent 100k units. Hopefully they sort it out soon. They communicate better than the ladt mob

Expect some more work units coming as they continue testing
