Have been accepted since July 27 of this year but not a single unit has been send to me.

Will we get a mail advice as to when reattach?

I have been attaching and detaching because of the same message through all these months - no work available.

At least one unit to help is all I was asking for.
Pirate Barbarroja from Spain.

I hope so too, however if you are not yet with Boinc 4, there is no need to attach, or shoud I?

Thanks again for the prompt reply. Hope it happens before I have to leave for a 10 day trip out of country.

Regards and good luck to all. Regards to all from sunny (rainy now)Valencia Spain.

At one time I did receive a couple of WU's but for some reason they never processed and by the time I saw them the return by date had passed.

Thanks for the note - I am connected! and waiting ;-)

that would be funny look and see cpdn 0 and counting. seti 1987.29. pirates .05. but any ways even with there being no work couldnt you send the applications out when you fix your problem(s)? ive been lead to think it would stop boinc from dropping the project?

~boinc its not about credit or the satisfaction its about the screensavers~

the sad thing is that ive never seen it:

"12 September 2004
We 'found our keys', and now the scheduler is up and unrestricted. We are letting out some very small test workunits, but only a few at a time to see how they do. BOINC version 4 is now the required client."

Stop teasing. There is no work. I have been attached to this project for over a month and got nothing. Still have nothing even after the message of hope. Getting work units from this project is like getting a glimpse of the "Black Pearl". You've never seen it, but someone says they know somebody that has.

Till then I'll just keep swabbing the deck.

There is a little bit of work being sent out. I got a work unit here but without credit.

You just have to be on the lucky list to get work. :)
