Wow.. didn't think the forums were this dead :(

I've lost the email addresses of several of the top producers of my team (TeamRetro) over the years. Is there any way to get in contact with them...

It 'magically' starting working now. I had like 3500 blocks completed and queued, but it only took a 'instant' to report them all. I hope nothing was lost in all these months. Thanks for helping

This exponent does not appear in my pending tests list (that I could revoke the test for). It's at 97% now. I'll let it almost finish and copy the data somewhere and get a new exponent. If the new...

I moved the incomplete test to another box with a much faster P4 (copy SB folder and the registry entries). Same error :( What is the right hostname and port for the old dedicated 2.5.0 client?

I have an old P4 1.4ghz that runs 8 hours a day at another site. I finally got to check it today and it has not submitted a block since Oct 15, 2010. It is running client 2.5.0 on WinXP. The error is...

I was setting up prime95 for a friend. His machine is a Pentium-D (true dual core) OCed to 3.2GHZ. It runs perfectly, but... worker thread #1 is reported as a 'Pentium 4-type3' in the prime95 output...

Well, the hex digits stopped printing when the block finished. No clue what did it, but i never hit 'about' or 'help' in the client

win client, currently in the 'status' window i'm getting a 8digit hex number printed everytime .1% of the block finishes.

Have I discovered a secret prime checker? :) or just some obscure debug...

Lord I hope result/error 3 is not an expired test.. if so i've been turning those in for last 2 months!

still not working here.. 11 machines can't get/report a block :(

Interesting. The machine giving this error is using a cheapo onboard winmodem that does give problems. But I'd still like to know what 'sumout' is.

Windows client:

internal computation error [sumout error]! check your memory/processor. test will restart in 5 minutes.


Celeron 400, machine is OK otherwise

My team is very loosely organized, and the more ways to get a msg out to them the better.

A person on a team has already expressed the willingness to have their email used for SoB related admin...

there are two different things here, Mr BS. Talking to existing team members, and finding the ones who want to be on your team, but are oblivious to having done the joining process wrong. I talk to...

Sorry to quote all, but this explains a lot of foulups for my team people.. they dutifully insert username/teamname everywhere and if they used a junk email AND used the client to signup, then their...

I will try, but these machines are behind the firewall from hell, and do nothing internet related all day, they are internal servers only. Might not even have telnet/sshd installed.. but i'll do my...

Phil, could I get a compile done for UltraSparcII?

I have 2 4cpu smp boxes that can't run anything SoB otherwise. I have no clue if your code sets affinity in SMP mode, I guess I can figure that...

No, we were trying to make all the users who will never actually 'login' go away.. The ones with multiple failed attempts to create a user account.

The best I can do is to remove them from the...

Back of envelope math.. am I right?

We seem to have n=2-3M seived right now. if 99.8% (listed above) are seived and composite.. that leaves 2000 N's per K, which is 24,000 values to test. Project...

Mad-ness, I'll try to stay a little more on topic this time.

TeamRetro is almost exclusively made up of users of my old game cataloging tools ( found at www.retrogames.com/cowering.html ). We just...

Happens to me when I clone a Hard Disk with GHOST and don't have time to clear cache before deploying the box. I know it wastes time, but the block will eventually get replaced.

Maybe the next...

MAD-ness,

Could I use parts of your FAQ to help my teammates? It's now impossible to explain all the possible ways to get SB working to newbies i'm trying to recruit.

My own question about...

great.. can the windows client use port 80 to talk to sb.pns.net? that would fix up quite a few firewall problems a few of my users are having.


Any ETA on the new windows client? i have 7...

My bigger problem is that i'm trying to automate rolling SB to about 200 machines and I won't have time to go fix the clients if they start to randomly shutdown.

Maybe the next version of the...

i changed this client from sb.pns.net:1717 to sbp.pns.net:22 and restarted and it reported the completed block to the server immediately.

Hope my other clients don't all start doing this!
