Update on my BOINC "steem" engine: The Fall...

in #gridcoin • 7 years ago (edited)

Yes friends, I have received the sad e-mail from Google telling that my Virtual engine-cloud has consumed all the available free budget by running BOINC in favor of the Science Research and Development.

It's really a pity because it was doing a very great job...

Now my "BOINC" Steem Engine is falling abruptly and coming back to a very low and steady Mag and Rag Values.

Summary of my experience using Google Cloud Engine instances:

  • First of all, if someone is interested on, I followed this tutorial from our colleague @wellwild .
  • Had some problems at the beginning installing and running BOINC on LINUX based instance. Finally I solved by creating a Windows Server Instance instead of Linux one and install there the BOINC Manager.
  • The instance has worked during 21 days...
  • Maximum Achieved Mag has been 10.8.
  • Maximum Achieved Rac has been around 17000.


  • Maximum GRIDCOIN rate achieved, around 2.6 GRC/day, (Even the instance does not work the Mag and Rag are still at the same level more or less but decreasing everyday and so, today the GRC rate is 2.425 grc/day).

The experience has been good and the Cloud-engine worked pretty well. If you ever have to use this Google service think about the possibility to "fill" the non-productive hours of your instance by running BOINC there, helping science and being more efficient with your rented Computer.

Keep on BOINCing!!!
