Boys are working on pre-built rpm to be published, so hopefully we won't need tutorials on how to install the client from tarballs

At the moment whatever projects are not running on v7, that is because of some bug (can't remember exact reason). More and more of internal folders are moving to v8, so naturally v7 will get left out So, that might be the reason why I keep getting mostly the same projects (18260-3 & 16773-5)? N...

I though p18261 wouldn't assign to clients <8.5 ... I might be mixing project numbers. So, some projects aren't being issued to v7 clients? Will this mean that eventually there won't being any projects, perhaps just for newer GPUs, for v7 clients? Eventually, yes. But it will not going to be forcef...

if a client is not allowing you to uncheck something, that something is disabled anyways

Yeah, we need those packages for rpm distros published on website

yes, you are. according to you 261 was working fine on v7 for you

Look where you are posting your comments. The topic of the thread is libbz2, and the reason for the thread was that user misread the guide (which is not a massive issue, we all do that from time to time). You come in with something completely different. Your issue is neither libbz2, nor misreading ...

SSE4.2 just adds several new instructions on already existing SSE4 and SSE4.1. It is possible to get away with things working on SSE4.1 capable CPU. q6600 does not even support SSE4. SSE4+SSE4.1+SSE4.2 is quite an extensive instruction set, when combined

Before you go any further, I would like to stress this point: Anything you do in the name of FAH, will reflect on FAH as a project. If you start some monetary related initiatives, and have a dispute with one or many individuals regarding your initiative, their pov might be, that FAH is endorsing thi...

Fully agree on that. Using buid containers in the release process would make it easy to offer the fahclient for other distros on the official fah page - low maintenance, low effort, virtually no costs, greatly appreciated by many. And it wouldn't depend on a volunteer, however well meant. Yeah, the...

It's not that difficult to use containers to build for other distros. It's quick, clean and does not require running all those distros as servers. That would also be ideal in a build proces. I'm happy to share the dockerfile and script I have for rpm, however sloppy yhat script is 😁 I think we ALL ...

I've had a look at 'banana' & 'cureco', but i'm asking in regard to any teams which are paying in a currency not related to crypto. No teams are paying. I see no point for anyone paying for something which does not bring any financial returns. Do you want someone to pay you to generate some mea...

Hi, I'm wondering if there is any team currently paying for PPD / folding effort that is not bitcoin or any other crypto currency, otherwise paid in actual currency transfer. I know starting such a team would likely cost quite a bit and I'm happy to experiment in that area. I'm sure others have tho...

I remember reading this somewhere, too, but in that instance client throws an error

I ran into the same problem when trying to run the 8.5 client; I don't have this problem with the 8.4 client. I have Bazzite, so because of the whole "immutable operating system" thing, I can't install or build packages myself, or haven't figured out how to circumvent the Bazzite protecti...
