Asteroids@Home has been put on the greylist due to server issues. They were not included in the last superblock
Greylisting is essentially a temporary removal from the whitelist, but that doesn't require a poll to happen. If a project fixes whatever issue caused it to be greylisted, it will be added back to the whitelist (once the metrics & requirements are met) without a poll as well.
For Asteriods@Home, the Work Availability Score is what has triggered greylisting. With the server not working, zero credit days will also be an issue soon
In general there are two main criteria that usually cause a project to be greylisted:
The project is temporarily down.
I am very sorry to inform you that the project is temporarily down. The database system was still running on a temporary hardware solution which failed a few days ago and the hardware is dead. We still don't have the planned new server and due to holidays and other circumstances we can't hurry anything up. New server should be available on September or October so project will probably be down until then. We don't have any sufficient hardware for other temporary solution and I also think that the best solution is to get the project online when it is finally on a new stable hardware because I know that the project outages every few weeks are very frustrating.
I will post here later any new information when available.
