Hello!

I'm new to all of this and have really wanted to help out with the set@home project ever since I had heard about it. I downloaded the BOINC Manager and added had Seti@home to my projects yesterday (7/28/15), but since then, i haven't gotten a screensaver for my section of the universe to monitor for spikes yet I think. In the text box it just reads: No available work to process. Basically my question is what do I do to get everything up and running?

Thanks for your time,
Cameron

Have patience. This project is growing so big that soon the task IDs reach 2^32, or 4294967296. After that the database cannot add any more numbers, because from that time onwards it'll be over 32bit notation.

So the project had to add 64bit notation to the database, which was added yesterday during normal maintenance. This however needed testing. Bugs were found and remedied. Now the bug is that for some reason the scheduler doesn't send out work. Which means no one is getting work.

So in essence you don't have to do anything. The project is working on it.
And BOINC will try to get work all automatically.

Okay, I was wondering about this. I just went over 2,000,000 cobblestones, and only need just less than 10,000 for this particular machine to reach 1,000,000, and it's like as soon as I hit the two million mark, all the work units dried up.
