Hi, I'm trying to set up LODA with self-compiled loda-cpp binaries via BOINC Anonymous platform.

My app_info.xml is as follows (similar to what I use for SiDock@home):

<app_info>
<app>
	<name>loda</name>
	<user_friendly_name>LODA</user_friendly_name>
	<non_cpu_intensive>0</non_cpu_intensive>
	<fraction_done_exact>0</fraction_done_exact>
</app>

<file_info>
	<name>loda_wrapper</name>
	<sticky/>
	<executable/>
</file_info>
<file_info>
	<name>loda</name>
	<sticky/>
	<executable/>
</file_info>

<file_info>
	<name>loda_job.xml</name>
	<sticky/>
</file_info>

<app_version>
	<app_name>loda</app_name>
	<version_num>241216</version_num>
	<file_ref>
		<file_name>loda_wrapper</file_name>
		<main_program/>
	</file_ref>
	<file_ref>
		<file_name>loda</file_name>
		<open_name>loda</open_name>
		<copy_file/>
	</file_ref>
	<file_ref>
		<file_name>loda_job.xml</file_name>
		<open_name>job.xml</open_name>
		<copy_file/>
	</file_ref>
</app_version>
</app_info>

The servers responds with the following notice: "This project does not support computers of type anonymous".

Can you configure the server to accept anonymous platforms?

This is a feature request, not a bug. We currently don't support anonymous platforms. Can you please explain the need for it?

Maybe, you can move this thread if you wish.

It's explained in the linked wiki article. First, any platform that can run LODA and BOINC client will also be able to participate in this project (including "exotic" OS's and CPU architectures). Second, custom LODA builds can use better compiler optimizations. Finally, I think it adds more trust.

Anonymous platform seems to be enabled by default in the project.xml file and if it's not, it can be added with the xadd tool.
