DynaPing needs YOU!

[liuqyn]

keep in mind that, unless they changed it, you can only use 5 hosts at any location.

[NeoGen]

That's an interesting bit of information there I was not aware...
But on plenty of people you can see more than 5 active hosts "on the last 30 days"... so what happens to the 6th and other hosts credits? Do they just discard it?

If this limitation is still active I guess I have to try and spread the people with the keys available.

[NeoGen]

After a quick observation I can see that the "really good" workunits on DynaPing can get you little over 300 credits... and then there are some "not-so-good-ones" that are awarded around 40 credits or less...

So... for 300 credits on a 12 hour period (WUs length)... that's 600 credits for 1 ideal day of work by 1 machine...
Which multiplied by 5 machines equals somewhat over 3,000 credits/day...

I see on Free-DCs stats that Nflight was breaking mach 1 speed lately... around 4,000 credits/day in the past couple of days with the boost, so I think the limit might not be in place anymore...

[liuqyn]

it's not per user, it's per ip address. so even though I have 19 active hosts at home, only 5 will actually process work at one time. This thread covers the details.

[Nflight]

Maybe there is a way around this dilemma.

Ramjet, I have now three more keys... AMDave, vaughan and bwhite.... how many dual-cores have you got?

Ok, I know the race is almost over but it took a while to get this setup, I just added one dual core running off a wireless usb adapter out in the garage (so I don't have to fight the AC) . If I can share that connection with a 5 port switch, I can add 3 more duals to my KVM switch. I am gearing up for the WCG race anyway (July 31st thru Aug. 7th ), so I can also run DynaPing to help get us to that magic million.

[NeoGen]

That's great Ramjet! I really wish we can shoot all the way to #1 in this project. But that's going to take about 3 months at current rate, so every little bit more we can scrape helps shave off a few days in the stats.

If you want some different keys for a change, maybe pushing for the underdogs for a while, I can provide. I was thinking maybe we could do a kind of a push to get all the guys above 100K for example.

The only person out of contact is sentient_life, we have been trying to get in contact with him to set up his DynaPing or provide his key, but to no avail yet. But everyone else has shared their keys with me.

[shnal]

If anyone would like to PM me their key then I'll be glad to help.

[Ramjet]

Can anybody tell me why Liuqyn's PPD per host are so low compared to everybody else's? It seems to me our efforts are being wasted here. Maybe we should switch to somebody else's weak acct. key? Am I missing something or can anyone explain what's going on?

[Nflight]

It has to be his connection to the internet that is causing so much problems. I would switch to someone else s, my opinion. Don't waste the electric cycles if you don't have too !
