HOLY Dutch Power Cow

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

[=[PULSAR]=]

Even if he changed teams the team would have a huge spike in cands not his daily production

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.

[trance565]

hmmmmm, that would explain alot

i say they trying to use scare tactics

[L0$t Pr0PhEt]

Or wait before adding the nodes to your profile.

[STEvil]

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.

[MaxxxRacer]

its no matter. XS is undefeatable at this point. its is only a matter of time before they overtaken.

IIRC, there is a post at the cows homepage on how to buffer over 2k on the same node without having it show up. It is not the 'install on a new node number and not add it' method nor is it the 'super-node' method; rather it involves changing the name of a specific file once completeing 2k cands and then d/l more cands. 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.

[STEvil]

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.

[Syzzer]

Certainly true, though it can be fun to flush big numbers like ICA_Cows did the past days .

[[XC] moddolicous]

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.

[UCmajewski]

these dumps took months by the cows .... they choose to unload them at a certain point. They look to be still active though!

[Mr_Slinky]

the only question is how active are they?

[lv_dicedealer]

yep, thats it.

Dont worry about regreting anything. Just friendly competition.

[shadowing]

It's time to kill them!!! Let's frag them out.

[STEvil]

Syzzer - agreed

[Quanticles]

You'd have to lose internet for over a week to use up 2000 canidates/processor x.x

[caLume]

but i think theyve increased their mainoutput too :/
