RC5-72 vs OGR

[IronBits]

How do you prevent the client from doing OGR?

[alpha]

(From the configuration menu): Choose the 'Buffer and Buffer Update Options' (2). Choose to configure the 'Load-work precedence' (9). Set the value of this option to 'RC5-72,OGR=0' (or OGR:0), which tells the client to never do OGR, and always do RC5-72.

Thanks!
After doing that, I looked at the dnetc.ini file and found this new change...

[misc]
project-priority=RC5-72,OGR=0

/me tips hat

I have done exactly that but my question is why DON'T we do OGR?

Is that a totally different project? Forgive me for asking such questions but I am very new towards the d.net client and am unsure regarding the MANY options that the d.net client have :confused:

I don't know, why not OGR...probably 'cause there's no prize for solving it and because nobody knows when it'll be solved, but I think that now, when rc5-72 can run for decades to come and rc5064 showed, that it could be done, OGR's more interesting...from my point of view, as well as scientists'

Fact is, we do OGR. The powers that be around here have declared it unworthy to be displayed in the standings box, but OGR is one of the few projects where Free-DC is actually climbing in the ranks and has a shot at a significant improvement in standing.

Heh, there is no 'power' around here. If there is, you want some of it? ;)
http://www.free-dc.org/ogr25 We have a homepage...
I know we had OGR-25 on the Rank Panel at one time, I guess they changed the format on the dnet stats page again.
Yup, http://www.free-dc.org/ogr25/stats.shtml is fubar to :(
Crap, looks like TJ's stats are fubar to http://freedc.virtual-olympus.com:443/Stats.aspx :(

There is no 'official' prize, but look here (http://n0cgi.distributed.net/faq/cache/83.html).

I knew about this, last time I checked, there wasn't an offer for 25,- guilders note to the "winner", "since we Dutch have the nicest money of the world. (its seen as "monopoly" money)" :D :D
