Hi. I've installed BOINC Manager (7.4.23) and client and Manager after adding Einstein project tells me that "Your current settings do not allow tasks from this project. To fix this, you can change Project Preferences on the project's web site" and I do not receive any tasks...

I've enabled "Run CPU versions of applications for which GPU versions are available" and I've got tasks now. Great, problem solved! ;)

Hi pawcuq, welcome to the Einstein project.
You've got lots of tasks now and that may be a slightly different problem. Your device is completing around 8 tasks per day and you have close to 100 in total - around 12 days worth for 24/7 operation. You should consider reducing your 'days of work to cache' preference settings to something lower so there is less risk of exceeding deadlines. Just ask if you need assistance/recommendations for the most appropriate settings.
Maybe you got all that work because the initial task run time estimates were far too low. If so, that should have been corrected now by BOINC and the problem will disappear once the excess work is cleared. If you really do have a setting of 10 days or more, you should consider reducing it by quite a bit.
Cheers,
Gary.
