    Well, you guys are definitely beating everyone else quite easily for this rally; a swamping victory seems almost assured. However, another target (and quite a stretch at that) would be to try to take back the lead in the all-time stats from Raiders of the Lost Primes. They just crossed the 5-million mark in # of points and Free-DC is only at 2.77 million. (To put this in perspective, Free-DC's cranked out 27799 points in the slightly <24hrs so far on this rally.) Granted, it's a huge undertaking, but if you're looking for a place to bring out the big guns, you've found it.

    C'mon guys--you're being showed up by a little upstart team that nobody's even heard of outside of NPLB! You can do better than that!

    Ah, no need to worry--sieving is, for the most part, the least of our worries right now. Even though the k=1003-2000 sieving is still somewhat up in the air until June (at which point everything up to n=1M will be all set and we can open the floodgates as necessary), we've got truckloads of k=400-1001 work (Drives 5, 6, and 7) that could keep all of Free-DC busy for months on end.

    It would take us about 2 months or less to do this It is hard to fit that into 2 days

    But when Free-DC come together in a focus there in not much we Can Not accomplish

    We Are Free-DC and we stand with the Best

    Seeing that Teams didn't start until mid October last year, let's see what the totals are when AMDave starts Team Stats Totals from that point.

    22 Oct 08 was the first post in the NPLB Forum asking to form teams.
    http://www.mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=10826

    28 Oct 08 is the first post by gd_barnes announcing 'Raiders of the Lost Primes' team thread

    Woo!

    GREAT NEWS. You have found a Prime! on the NPLB Project.
    Just the one though?

    Links in the email seem to point to the previous drive...

    Schweet!

    I've been asked to find out what Free-DC would prefer in order to increase the participation level and interest.
    The client is absolutely easy to run, as some of you have found out this time around.

    What is easier for you, my fellow teammates?

    More frequent rallies with short durations or less frequent rallies with a longer duration?

    2 day rally
    4 day rally
    7 day rally
    or longer perhaps?

    4 day (long weekend) rally every month would be good for me; wouldn't take too much away from the main projects I want to run but would still give a regular boost...

    Getting it BOINC'd would help...

    Is it over already?

    I think 4 day minimum since switching projects on machines takes a little time so once we have things up and running let it go for 4 or 7 days, then we can switch back to something else.

    As for frequency, I think once a month is ok or at least every 2 months. I found one new top 5000 prime so I'm very happy. It was in the top 2000 when I submitted it, now it is 2007.

    Was any Free-DC member using 100% of there Resources to push this Rally?
    I was only at about 55 - 60% pointed here
    If this was the common case among us all
    I would say let the Dogs of war out and go to FULL Burn to Take First Place
    Projection's say about a 50 day run to take 1st If we can maintain a 50K a day

    Let's be merciful to ROLP and do this quickly.

    It could take less than 30 days, one PotM push

    To do it in 30 days would take a sustained output of 92.5K per day

    I Might be able to Crunch about 40K myself But not sure what the other
    members can put on the Table

    PCZ and myself can put up ~16K per day, but not for a couple weeks until we finish the sieve jobs we are doing so we can load up more work onto the NPLB llrnet servers.
    32K per day + PCZ/IB
    40K per day + Lauren
    20K per day (Team Free-DC) of course, more the merrier

    We also do not have a full weeks run into the stats system, so the time to overtake will take a big drop right?
    It shows we are gaining at 16,619, when in fact, we are gaining faster than that right (50,000)? Now it says 126 days
    PHP Code:
    Rank   Team Score     Average Daily Gain Days to Overtake 
    1      ROLP 5
    ,104,598  25,775  16,619     126.56

    I did it by the math
    If the ROLP team stays at there output now 25K X 30 = 750 K + 2 Mil =
    2,750,000 / 30 = 91666.666666666666666666666666667 points per day

    I can add another 230 per hour once I finish my sieve work by May 2nd.
    PCZ will bring a tad more than that in a couple weeks, around May 10th.
    That's an additional 12K per day.

    It should be really close!!!

    So, if we offically start the PotM on May 1st, I won't be too late the the

    Anyway of having it run unobtrusively? For the rally weekend I could put up with 4 or 8 command windows but if I'm going to run it for longer would really want a better way (i.e. less command windows )?

    I can see if I was on XP I could install as a service via the system tray icon but under Vista, the system tray icon's menu doesn't show properly Anyway to get it as a service via command line?
