My RAC is getting killed from all these WU gaps
I may abandon this project altogether

That's why you set up fallback projects. Every project will have problems sometimes.

Set your favorite(s) at share 100.
Then your secondaries at share 10.
Then your tertiaries at share 1.

This way, 89% of your work goes to your favorite project(s), unless they go offline.

You could play with numbers to adjust that.

i want more work xD

A new host created some days ago reported a lot of errors (around 100k results are useless) and need to be rerun soon. The validator cant intercept these bad results due the OS which is running there. I set it on the blacklist now.

I will try to setup more work later today. Still running some doublechecks.

Update:
Still rerun some missing results. After this is done until tomorrow more work for R151 will be added.

Stumbled here because of that host, and its user "abcman", and the job logs.

It looks like they created a script to create fake XML result files. The "called boinc_finish" was missing the return code 0 indicator like from a real result.

Hopefully you can find a way to check results a little better before that user changes their host ID and gets back in for another batch. They earned 350 GRC in 36 hours off of this hole.
