    I was afraid that was the case. I understand. Thanks for all you have done over the years.

    OH NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!
    Can't do that ol mate!
    Not allowed, old crunchers never die and work harder when they retire . That's just my experience but I certainly will badly miss you and your hard work for both Free-DC and DC'ing in general for the last umpteen years. Sad day for us here now but understandable. I hope I can call you buddy still and you continue to keep in touch at least?
    Like an ol` 8086, slow but serviceable.
    One advantage of old age...nobody can tell you how much cake you can eat

    I've added my one spare core, it isn't very fast but better than nothing.

    So I seem myself in the FDCPS page but I'm not listed on the "Free-DC" Team, can someone add me? And will this server e-mail me if I find a prime like it did on the NPLB one that Ironbits was running?

    Thanks,
    Jeff.

    It will email you if your boxes find a prime.
    It is a manual task to add you to the Free-DC team and set up email.

    I can do this for you.
    PM me the email addres you would like alerts sent to

    Edit:
    Done

    FDCPS port 7773 is now the sole remaining active port
    At time of posting it has 318,176 untested pairs sieved to depth 1405000000000000:M:1:2:258

    Whilst I'm currently doing about 625 pairs per day it will take me over 500 days at that rate to complete the queue.
    I'm not going to maintain that completion rate.
    I would like it completed sooner.

    So, if you can spare a core, or more, please jump in and LLRnet for some good old fashioned primes.
