BitBOINC
What's new
Recent changes to BitBOINC, newest first. Each item links to the forum thread it came from, if there is one -- that's the place to report back if something still isn't working.
2026-10-04
- Kampylos (gravitational microlensing) now runs on Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Android, not just Linux and Windows.
- Kampylos now has CUDA and OpenCL GPU acceleration, in addition to CPU.
- Badge thresholds for credit and RAC have been raised to match the recent credit-rate increases, so a badge still represents roughly the same level of contribution as before.
- The "Contributing hosts" badge now only counts hosts that have actually completed and validated real work, not just connected once. (more)
- You can now mark your own forum threads as solved.
- CPU/GPU task counts are now shown on host and account pages too, not just the main task list.
- Kampylos's work generator briefly stalled and stopped creating new work for a few days -- fixed, and it's actively assigning new events again.
2026-10-03
- Credit is now a fixed amount per task for Potamos, Keraunos and Sphinx, instead of an estimate that could vary -- what a task is worth is predictable up front. (more)
- Kampylos (gravitational microlensing) now has real data from all three source surveys it supports (OGLE, MOA, KMTNet) instead of a small initial sample -- tens of thousands of new events queued for the grid search.
- Task list now has a CPU/GPU filter, and the filter bar no longer disappears when a filter combination matches nothing. (more)
- CUDA builds (Potamos, Keraunos, Sphinx) now cover both older cards (Turing and up) and the newest ones (Blackwell) without relying on a driver-dependent compatibility fallback that some GPUs couldn't actually use. (more)
- Fixed a long-run stability issue in Keraunos's Apple GPU (Metal) build that could make a task fail partway through on some Macs. (more)
- Bitcoin puzzle balance lookups are working again (were briefly showing "unknown" for all addresses).
- Server status page now shows plain-language daemon names (e.g. "Potamos Validator") instead of raw program names.
2026-10-01
- Fixed a Linux compatibility issue that could make that night's builds fail to start on some systems (missing library symbols).
- Tasks that get interrupted and resumed (checkpoint/resume) now pick up correctly across CPU, OpenCL and CUDA builds of Potamos, Keraunos and Sphinx.
