How exactly are projects excluded from a superblock? I asked this before on reddit and erkan explained it was when a project server went down, or a project admin changed something. But with the large amount of projects excluded I find this being the only cause unlikely. Do we know why these projects were excluded?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
There are a lot of reasons - you already named the most common ones. The scraper that collects project data can also fail on some projects, and as its relatively new the stability is still being investigated. Some projects also have weekly maintenance that will take the server offline, causing it to be excluded if a superblock forms during that time.
Currently there are several projects offline entirely.
the reason why 38% BOINC projects were missing 4days ago was seemingly due to
Don't forget that the superblock is a consensus. If none is found, you get no mag for the project.
This may be because the User A ask at 10:00 and user B ask at 10:03 and the numbers changed in that time.
