The 2nd superblock in row that made us wait so long (includes 68% of whitelisted BOINC projects)

After 69h, we've finally a new superblock (see: (K)):
  • #970542
  • Actually, also #970540 seems a SB, which came 2 blocks before. Strange! Investigating if really a double-superblock happened.
  • The superblock before this one made us also wait quite long: 67h. :-(

Unfortunately, only 68% of the whitelisted BOINC projects are inside.
Missing BOINC projects this time:
  • Citizen Science Grid
  • Einstein
  • LHC
  • Numberfields
  • Rosetta
  • SETI
  • VGTU
  • WCG

team users:
  • 1425 with magnitude
  • 2302 without beacon
  • 10702 total users


The average superblock creation time since June 20 is now about 48h (median = 37h).

So, what are the possible reasons for the delay/mag zero this time?
  • World Community Grid had problems (see here), but these were starting at around 14:00 UTC on Tuesday, July 18, so about 40h after consensus-building of the SB was already in progress.
  • SETI had its usual downtime Tuesdays (I know at least that they were offline at 2017-07-18 20:00)

  • The CENTRALIZED component and NOT OPENSOURCED harvest server seems to make trouble (file names not correct, ...)
