Hello, since joining Gaia, I haven't received any tasks.
My records don't show any errors; it's as if I'm stuck in a loop when requesting tasks:

That's because you are using Windows 11. This project currently only has CPU WU's for Linux
So your options are install Linux on your computer, setup a VM or WSL. Until you do this you won't receive any tasks

Tanks for your answer, I have BOINC 8.2.4 with WSL enabled, maybe in a near future I could get tasks

re: I have BOINC 8.2.4 with WSL enabled
I think 8.2.4 is a Boinc version for Windows, so you may be misunderstanding how to use WSL.
You need to start Windows, run WSL, create a bootable Linux in WSL. Install Boinc in Linux. Install the project in Boinc.
Watch the jobs roll in. The version of Boinc you get will be dependant on which Linux you install.
With that said, I don't use WSL, but rather Virtualbox, so I'm hoping the concept is the same.
