That's a LONG gauntlet Man everyone keeps asking for more power and I want to help everyone, but I just don't have the power!



Who to help!

[MrTRS]

FYI

I am running RC5-72 as part of no team.
When I tried to join Free-DC team I got an error on the
web page. I looked a the bug report page and found a long
list of bugs having to do with the present stats. I'm not much
on bugs but it looked like they didn't expect it to be fixed
until sometime in the future.

I would be glad to join if someone can figure out how.

We're pretty much at a point in this project that if we don't get more firepower we will stall out in the rank climb where we are at. MrTRS, you shouldn't have any problems joining the team assuming you know your e-mail addy and password.

[magicfan241]

YEp!

I joined 9 days ago, or is it 10?

There was a problem a while ago, but it got fixed.

Jump on ship so I have a little more competition.

@magnav0x: I have too little power, adn I end up cycling through 8 or 9 projects with my 4 switchable computers. And I thought was a good amount of time for a gauntlet. I seen a few that were two weeks, and a lot that were for a month, so I picked the middle.

BRING IT ON!!!

To the end of the month or end ot the project? I can do until the end of the month but I'm not sure we'll still be around to see the end of the project.

guru

[PY 222]

I'm in if there are people willing to play with me!

Let me know since our boat is sinking in this project.

@guru: Teh more reason why we should throw in more firepower into this project. See it finish before we are finish.

[magicfan241]

I thought it said the end of the month.

I'd get bored before the end of the project.

That being said we have:

magicfan241
guru
PY 222

as current competitors.

BRING IT ON!!!

Must...have...more...power...captain!

I know what you mean, magnav0x. I'm letting my DF output suffer a bit over CB for the moment, but I wouldn't mind getting into D2OL either. Ack! Too many projects, too few boxen.

[Paratima]

Borg 'em!

[PY 222]

Anteraan, there is an easy way to solve your problem!

GET MORE BOXENS...

Ok, I got it to work. I went to a pc, rather than a mac ,
and signed in OK.

So I should show up on the next stats run.

[the-mk]

Count me in!

I've thrown in a Thunderbird with one Gigahurtz© let's have a look how many WUs he will give me

Maybe I'll change my whole little small tiny pharm from DF/CB to RC5/CB, but I'll decide that tomorrow... :sleepy: but one box is for sure on RC5!

[the-mk]

- Will somebody set up a distributed.net personal proxy with stats? (I don't want to wait 24 hours for new official stats...)
- Can we start the gauntlet earlier? March 7th is a long way to go
- Can we reset the personal proxy stats with the start of the gauntlet?

[magnav0x]

Proxy run by Bok:
66.197.141.245

Well, we will see. I'm running RC5-72 on my
PowerMac G5 Dual 2.0 Ghz with 1Gig Ram

sorry buddy, I don't believe in RC5-72 anymore

OGR and Team Ukraine

[magicfan241]

AHHH!!!

I'm going to have to switch more computers to even try and match your production.....

macs kick ass at RC5.


magicfan241

[PY 222]

So, are we changing the start date on this gauntlet?

Or are we still set? And who is going to keep some stats?

[the-mk]

Stats: http://the-mk.dbestern.net/dnet/index.php?proj=8 with daily and weekly production, threats and conquests, but with all Free-DC-crunchers...

If we want hourly stats, we should point to Boks pproxy at 66.197.141.245 where you can see the stats: http://stats.open-dc.org/dnet/rc572/byemail.html.

Question to the one who knows more than I do: when and how often do Boks pproxy-stats update? And if it isn't set, can we force him to update them hourly or more often?

Magicfan241, when do we really start the gauntlet? Does it start on 7th of March or can we do it earlier? You started the gauntlet thread so you tell us when the gauntlet begins!

[magicfan241]

I think March 3rd sounds better now. Used to having to wait large amounts of time for people to show up and sign up for the gauntlet.

Current Roster stands at:
magicfan241
guru
PY 222
MrTRS
The-MK

If anyone else is thinking about signing up, now is the time to do it!!!

Whip them puppies!!

magicfan241

[the-mk]

What? Only 5 people gauntleting at the moment? That's boring!

Where are the people with the large amount of firepower? Show up and bring it on!

[MerePeer]

I might join on the 4th with you...

I'm still trying to determine the purpose of this project, beyond solving the key. Questions like:
- does it push more business towards the private company RSAsecurity.com?
- does solving it just tell the US Govt to use more bits in their DES encryption?
- is it a good idea to work w/distributed.net and united devices since they appear to be private corps?

One good reason to help is that our team only ranks #248 over here.
http://stats.distributed.net/team/tm...d=8&team=26268

[the-mk]

When does the gauntlet start? 3rd of March 0:00 UTC? Or earlier or later or what?

Come in! Join the gauntlet! Don't be scared! Common! Let's have some fun!

[magicfan241]

Whatever update is shown on the morning of the 3rd (6:00AM eastern time) will be the startong date!

I have to agree, everyone should join the gauntlet!

magicfan241

[MrTRS]

Is somebody doing stats? Or are we all going to point to the Boks proxy?
Or are we just going to use the regular stats. Even if we use the regular
stats doesn't someone need to pull out our userids at the start so that
we get a zero start?

How it going to work?

Ray

[guru]

I'm going to be off line on some of my systems Friday while I attend a lan party. I was hoping to have them back online before things started.

Looks like I'm going to have to get busy tonight to get my other systems online before tomorrow.

guru

[the-mk]

We could/should point to Boks pproxy at 69.56.191.138, so we can see stats on (I hope they are there for his new proxy) http://stats.open-dc.org/dnet/rc572/byemail.html

Other stats:
http://the-mk.dbestern.net/dnet/index.php?proj=8 updated daily at about 1:08 GMT
http://stats.distributed.net/team/tm...d=8&team=26268 official stats

hmm, I'll be going to write some gauntlet stats for RC5-72... don't expect them to soon... I'll announce them when I finished them...

[magicfan241]

I can post the stats daily in this thread, if need be.

I can't program, much more a 'PHB' when it comes to programming

magicfan241

[the-mk]

OK,
Boks distributed.net personal proxy is at 69.56.191.138
Stats for this proxy are at http://stats.open-dc.org/dnet/rc572/byemail.html
definite

It would be great if every gauntlet-user points to Boks proxy!

Then:
official stats: http://stats.distributed.net/team/tm...d=8&team=26268, updating at about 1:00 UTC once a day.
my stats: http://the-mk.dbestern.net/dnet/index.php?proj=8 (I resetted them today, that's why yesterday and lastweek numbers are zero), updated after the official, and once a day

Gauntlet stats: http://the-mk.dbestern.net/rc572/ (updating with my regular stats)
If somebody is missing him/herself, please PM me and I'll add him/her!

[guru]

Did some one say go?

guru

[MrTRS]

Ok, I'm looking at the dnetc -config display,
I'm on the page where it says "client connectivity options"

Do I put Bonks ip numbers in the place where it says
"Keyserver port"

And then change where it says "Automatically select a distributed.net keyserver?"
from yes to no?

Thanks for any help.

Ray

[guru]

Just add the following to your dnetc.ini file. If Bok's key server goes down you will still get keys from the master server.

[networking]
nofallback=false
autofindkeyserver=no
keyserver=*:2064;69.56.191.138

You can change the dnetc.ini file or via the config

change the "automatically select a distributed.net keyserver" to no, then it will show 2 more options where you can specify an ip (or DNS name) and a port

put in the ip address, leave the port empty

As long as you have the 'disable fallback to a distributed.net keyserver" set to No then if my proxy was down it will bypass it.

Bok

[PCZ]

How do you get your handle to show up on the proxy instead of the email address ?

[Bok]

I have to do that manually unfortunately. I'll change it now. It will show up on the next update.

If anyone does this and I don't see it fast enough, just send me an IM.

Bok

[PCZ]

A union jack would be nice

[Bok]

PCZ,

unforuntately I didn't write these stats But let me see what I can do. Can you IM me with your IP address. It holds them and I think it goes off a reverse DNS lookup and your's is probably .com. (which it defaults as US commercial). I can probably alter the table and make it UK once I know which one.
