Which BOINC projects were affected most by the "magnitude zero" events ?
I looked at the BOINC projects + users that were "victims" of the last magnitude zero events.
As you can see, users from these 3 BOINC projects have "suffered" the most from the mag zero and its effects, in total 10 days (237h):
- Numberfields (w13)
- Rosetta (w15)
- SETI (w16)
And also:
- Citizen science grid (w3)
- Einstein (w6)
- LHC (w9)
- VGTU (w22)
- World community grid (w23)
The least affected was:
- Amicable Numbers (W1)
Some side effects to be investigated:
- the users who were affected most: did they or plan they to switch projects b/c they saw for other projects there were magnitudes?
- how deterring are these troublesome superblock events for new users, outsiders ?
I'll add later more to the table (amount users, ...)

I have been severely affected by the recent superblocks, normally having a RAC of 500,000 in SETI and several hundred thousand in VGTU. However, I do not consider myself a 'victim' like you mention. Yes, there are ongoing issues with the superblock project inclusion, but there is also ongoing active development.
Gridcoin is a coin with a niche market and a small, volunteer dev team. Remember how there were all those posts about whales being way too damn rich? You want to know why? They bought in early and held coins during these events which are guaranteed to occur in some form with every coin - and it paid off.
If you want to get rich, you need to weather storms like this. If you are a programmer, even better! Join the dev channels on Slack and Github and get involved. I guarantee you that if you fix the superblock stability, community members will give you Gridcoin for your efforts (and if they don't I will).
There's still a 7000 GRC bounty up for grabs!
right

There we go! Get involved. =)
This is an ongoing PR disaster, for at least 4 weeks.
One of the core functionalities of Gridcoin is NOT working reliabily
I've now added a section:
at: The 2nd superblock in row that made us wait so long (includes 68% of whitelisted BOINC projects)
in short:
some people were not so happy about this "PR diaster", so let me quote also others:
Also, to mention now also some other effects of the magnitude zero/delayed superblocks:
About the 14-day limit on owed GRC:

will lose their $GRC reward if no fix comes.

Thank you for your time and attention. Peace.
Started a week ago with Gridcoin and I'm not happy at all...
magnitude was most of the time "0" (SETI) now it's "5" (joined other projects), whitch is ridiculous!
My 70 $ worth of GRC earned for me only 1 GRC, it's 0,04 $!!!! Whole week of work and 0,04 $.... what a joke...
When I mined PrimeCoin Cunningham chains, I got rewarded 3 -5 $ daily!!!
What is going on with Gridcoin? Is it only for whales or what?!?
