    Quietly crunching away...

    ...Brucifer hit 2,000,000 points on Dnet OGR25!

    That is quite a milestone. Congrats there Bruce!

    Well done Bruce. I'll need to do some of this to improve our ranking.

    Self promotion here.

    I just made top 10 daily producers of RC75 on Bok's site.

    Congrats!!

    A long time ago in a far far away galaxy I used to crunch rc5-72 and enjoyed it. I was thinking not so long ago about getting back into it, and then along came the word that the crypto challenges were being pulled. So then the last I read was that distributed.net was going to have a vote on whether to keep going on the brute-force in spite of no award or confirmed real answer. Since then I haven't heard a thing. Have you any further information on this effort regarding the continue/discontinue decision?

    What I heard was that if there was a demand to continue RC75, thety would continue to run the servers. But no rewards will be given.

    Obviously, the demand was there.

    The RC5 project by brute force is virtually endless... I don't want it to be cancelled, but I wish they'd look into the problem and try to find more efficient algorithms.

    In reading about Ironbits' post on the ps3 over at FDC I went and read the .plan and it appears that withing the next couple of months possibly that there is going to be a new distributed.net project released. To me that it good news anyway since the dnet clients are always pretty solid ones. Would be nice to know what the next one is going to be, but they seem rather closed mouth about it at least from what I've read. There were rumors flying for a while that they were looking at a folding project which would be cool. I'd like to see them branch out into the medical world. At any rate it would be nice to get in on the ground floor of this next one!

    It sure does, what a dump ! ! !

    I looked over the stats of this project and it is amazing how many people are active. No one ever talks about these projects openly, they keep to themselves and you never hear about them unless your a real dedicated cruncher.

    The Title is perfect - Silently Crunching away!





    Challenge me, or correct me, but don't ask me to die quietly.
