Almost 240K candidates in one day with only 6 nodes!!! How can this be? This guy must have had nodes running for a year and just registered them.

Almost 240K candidates in one day with only 6 nodes!!! How can this be? This guy must have had nodes running for a year and just registered them.
I would be more willing to bet that he just changed teams and brought his cands with him.
is this possible? the most candidates you can dl are 2000/node, so 2000 x 6 = 12k :confused:Quote:

I'm not sure how thats possible, but somehow it is. I saw that an was like wow. We're XS though, so we'll fight back no matter what.
x714n - make 120 installs all using the same 6 node numbers, then crunch them to completion and you will have 240k cands.
hmmmmm, that would explain alot
i say they trying to use scare tactics :) :p:
Or wait before adding the nodes to your profile.
thats part of the way to do it lost prophet, but you have only 6 nodes to do it with, so you would need 120 installs using the same 6 nodes at 2000 cands/install.
its no matter. XS is undefeatable at this point. its is only a matter of time before they overtaken.

I believe it a .dat file or something like that.
I'm probably gonna regret this, as I am with DPC, but the file you are talking about is AFAIK resultQueue.dat in your res folder.
buffering (unless its the only way to get results for a machine not on the net) is a bit pointless really.. doesnt change your output over time, just makes it all come up at once rather than every day.
Certainly true, though it can be fun to flush big numbers like ICA_Cows did the past days ;) .
Well, for a couple of days we had to switch out the cable modem, so 2 of my crunchers were without internet. I usually dont buffer, unless something like that happens.
these dumps took months by the cows .... they choose to unload them at a certain point. They look to be still active though!
the only question is how active are they?
yep, thats it.Quote:

It's time to kill them!!! ;) :frag: Let's frag them out. :D
Syzzer - agreed :D
You'd have to lose internet for over a week to use up 2000 canidates/processor x.x
but i think theyve increased their mainoutput too :/
