So when will QCP be whitelisted for GRC???
QCP is performing far better than many BOINC projects, it's time.

It seems to me the applications and validation methods are still in active development. Why "release the hounds" now? Clearly it's up to the project admins and scientists whether or not to "whitelist" their project. If they need the extra computational power now, then letting the coiners in is one option.

It's a project still in development. There are already people complaining on the forum. I'm not sure I can handle a massive flood of people, especially if a lot of people come to the forum to complain. For now, I prefer to take my time and be able to interact with the participants.

Gridcoin is asking for a guarantee that there will be calculations to be made, I can't meet that requirement. One can think there are a lot of calculations available. At the moment there are, but it will go very quickly and each series requires a lot of work to be scientifically valorized.

How about making shorts 250 credits so every 4 comes out to a 1000

Or if you want to be binary: 256 credits x 4 = 1024 ^_^

Then do what the staff of every other BOINC project do, ignore them.

Not one single BOINC project can guarantee a constant supply of WUs. Today GAIA, TN-GRID and SiDock are completely out of work for the second day and have made no statements as to when they expect WUs to be posted. That's the beauty of BOINC, while scientists take time to digest and process the results we can switch over to another project and keep on crunching.

Gridcoin wallet holders have voted overwhelmingly that they want QuChem whitelisted:

The last point concerns the requests for Gridcoin. I've been asked by the developers and by some of you. I am not against this possibility, but three points do not allow for the moment to be whitelisted. First, I can't guarantee to always have tasks waiting to be calculated. Secondly, the incentive to cheat will increase and I find that increasing the quorum is a waste of resources. Thirdly, I'm struggling with the server to keep it up. The upcoming arrival of larger molecules should settle the first point. For the second point, we are thinking about a validation by analyzing the result. I have already made many optimizations for the third point, at the moment it's much better.

I hope whitelisting for GRC will be revisited. As I recall the reasons it failed before were twofold: 1, I didn't follow their rules when I proposed it regarding social media or something, and 2, that a QCP admin did not say yes.
QCP has proven for years that it has a wealth of work to do and so it should be easily accepted if one of the GRC insiders makes the proposal since they're expert at following their own rules.

Somehow quorum got folded into this discussion but has nothing to do with a Gridcoin requirement. As I recall that was just a GRC dev's opinion and hopefully it will not be brought up again to confuse the matter.
All that's needed from QCP is to just say "yes" and you're done with it. Should work stop for some reason then Gridcoin graylist's the project until it resumes, e.g. World Community Grid has been down for months and GRCgrid frequently has droughts.
