1) Strictly on the part about the 'exec rac' switching from the 37Mil requirement over to 'not being linked', that is a bug in this first version, but note, its not the kind of bug affecting PODC or payments (its a client glitch on the display purposes only). You can get around it by rebooting the client or waiting four hours (then exec rac will work again). Im trying to get that fixed as a leisure asap.

2) So Im looking at your coinage reqs. Since you arent on team bbp, thats why the req is so high (37 mil). Yes, we are supposed to put you in the leaderboard with a commensurate low reward, but I see we have a minimum threshhold (I honestly dont remember doing that, but for now we have it because its the consensus for the sancs). So here is how the two step phase works: On Non-Team BBP, we check your req, and 54000 rac reqs 37Mil in coin-age. Then we reduce your minimum RAC req (after we see you didnt make it), to 4368 RAC. Then we see if you have a coin age of 667,501 BBP (but you didnt meet that), so that explains why you are not in the leaderboard. Note, that if you send out a GSC, you will show up in the leaderboard in about 5-7 blocks, as long as you satisfy the req. So if possible, if you join team BBP, what would happen is the req would drop to 53.9K for 4368 (after missing the first) and you would be in the leaderboard. This also explains why you have not received podc rewards (you must be in the leaderboard to get podc rewards).

OK, so since I won't switch teams (as I am a team captain) then my only option is to set up an Exchange account and purchase more Biblepay to meet the minimum requirements which isn't going to happen either. I don't trust the current exchanges. So, I guess what I need to know now is how to turn off PoDC so that I'm not wasting my BBP with GSC transmissions that won't ever pan out a return. I also see this as an issue that will most likely occur with many BOINC contributors that may be tempted to create wallets. It should also be explained better in the wiki as this seems to be a "dead zone" of sorts.

Also, since there is no Android (or mobile) work to crunch at WCG right now (for a few months now actually) and no ETA on when it will return (scientists have not said when SCC will have work again and WCG has no official plans for Android work on the other sub projects) then isn't it a moot point right now to have a low RAC stipulation for unbanked? Maybe a note needs added to the wiki for this as well.

1) 10-4 on WCG lacking the mobile app. Thank you. 10-4 on the wiki guide. And the dead area on unjoining a project.
2) As far as a moot point for unbanked, I think its a two part deal. MIP is working on making the 'sendgscc wcg' work on the mobile. But yes once he finishes, we will have a challenge to deal with. We'll have to make a post on the WCG threads and ask them if *any* sub projects will ever return for android? If they say no we might as well stop working on that MIP, until we have a better idea. I think its certainly a good feature to have; we should have a coin that is friendly to third world countries who have no bank accounts. Back when our price was higher we calculated that mobile research was enough to live on in a third world country (food only).

3) To unjoin please type: 'exec unjoin wcg'. That should stop the daily gsc transmission.
4) As far as trust, I don't have any reason to not trust SX personally. One way you can minimize the risk is not keeping any latent digital asset on an exchange overnight - just make small trades (IE 100K bbp) and take it out immediately, then repeat etc.

Thanks Rob. As of right now Smash Childhood Cancer (SCC) is supposed to return. They just haven't given an ETA. That is the only sub project with Android apps left. People keep asking in the forums but aren't getting much hope on a new app coming down the pipeline for Android. Allegedly there are two more climate based sub projects in the works but not much has been stated on these and it has been stated that they won't have Android work as it is not suitable for those devices. WCG doesn't actually develop the apps. The scientists that bring their research to WCG is responsible for all of that and they won't open their code to the public for additional help. This is one of the reasons why they have only ever had one GPU application which ended 2 years worth of work in like 6 months. I agree it would be nice to have one for small mobile devices. I actually have ~30 devices on my shelf that are dedicated to DC. Right now, they are working on Universe@home due to the lack of good Bio/Medical projects that support Android and have work for them.
