** Update on World Community Grid **
Summary: A) We need users to enable export authorization from their respective web accounts, B) We need to test this to see if it works for Biblepay
I'll take a look at testing this today.
Please look for a checkbox in your WCG account to enable publically sharing your RAC data and please enable it.
I had this on by default. I think it should not have been as I have reported european country.
Yes, I have a few WCG accounts from back in the day, and I see the default is set to Show the data. So that's great from our perspective as our users wont have to change anything by default...
Checking into our Sanctuary Integration in detail, it looks like we are back in business with WCG. Everything looks like its fine.
I've just re-enabled WCG as our 2nd project. RAC should start being paid within 24 hours. NOTE It might be too late for tomorrow morning's 8AM superblock, but by Sunday morning we should see WCG payments going out again.
The project factor is set back to 1.5 WCG points per 1 Rosetta point.
Rob, could you clarify the calculation?
I was looking at the superblockview and saw that the following formula seems to be at work to determine the RAC used to calculate one's share
ModifiedRAC = (AvgRAC + WCGRac) * UTXOWeight
2 questions.
#1: Does 1.5 WCG points per 1 Rosetta point mean that if one has 1500 WCG RAC, it's only worth 1000 Rosetta RAC? I seem to recall a debate about WCG being more difficult and perhaps its the other way around?
#2: Is the WCGRAC reported in the superblock view the already "adjusted" amount? In other words, if I see WCGRAC at 1000, does that mean it was adjusted downwards from 1500?
Thanks!
On #1, WCG is 1.5* more difficult so we reward 1.5* the RAC on WCG's rac. (There was a discussion of some wild fluctuations at first but we seemed to hone in on 1.5, basically, when running all the WCG work mixed from the web portal).
On #2, the Sancs do multiply the WCG * its project factor of 1.5 first, so when you read the pool superblock view: The "AvgRac" is the Rosetta RAC, the WCGRac is the adjusted WCGRac (you can find the original figure in your Boinc client GUI row for WCG in the running projects, under RAC, that is in your boincmanager.exe GUI (not in WCGs portal)), then the Total is the Total RAC (of those two figs) * the UTXO Level %.
