An absolute, and genuine congratulations to the DPCs!

[Russ]

You guys did one HELL of a job. Now in 5th place! The volume of the flush was second only to the level of organization skill necessary to pull it off. You are to be commended for an extraordinary achievement.

I also see that someone is a fan of The A Team.

Russ, NCNE

 

[DanC]

I join Russ in congratulating those of you who have worked hard and cracked.
Heck of a job.

 

[dawks]

Great work guys.
Congrats on the climb!

 

[Misser]

Guys thanks. I for one was very suprised. Didn't even need a c[_]~ (thats a cup of coffee) to completely wake up.


Happy cracking & have a nice weekend.

 

[fraek]

Thanks to you all at Anandtech for the nice reactions.
Now we can carry on our competition for the best team
in the daily stats. Maybee if we try real hard we
can try to go for the number one spot too!
I think tommorow and the day after the DPC will
have higher scores than normal thanks to convulsions
of MF6. Lets have a friendly competition and assimilate
like hell

 

[GRiMLoCK]

Thanks guys for the compliments, I'm happy that the MF6 is over. We finally can see the upcoming days what we both are really worth. Lets hope for some tough competition!

Actually, doing the maths, its not impossible for the DPC to become first in the stats. If the winning key is in the last 1% of the keyspace, if the DPC keep submitting 115.9K blocks more that TA per day, they will be in 1st come the end of the keyspace - as we know, they can do this.
Of course, the clever money would say that the key is bound to be around the 50% mark, which would mean that to be leading TA by the 50% mark would need around 405.5k blocks more than TA per day (thats a bit more difficult).

We need to get more of the 30,000+ members of the forum and all of those that visit the Anandtech site to join up.

<< Lets have a friendly competition and assimilate like hell >>



Sure, but be sure to put your seatbelts on. We don't want some stupid law suit after the TA train runs over you!

 

[Diadem]

Thank you all for your kind words.
I'm glad you still respect us despite the fact that some of our team members do not respect you.

The big jump we made in the stats today was because somebody with 9M blocks joined us today. But don't worry, that will probably not happen every day

vss1980: Statisticly the right key will be found around 60% of the keyspace, because it will be found around 50% of what we still have to do.

We will need to do something like 350K more than you I think. That will become difficult
Be hey, you can never know! (remember Heisenberg!)

 

[Pinball]

Thanks !! A new member joining with 9,5M unteamed blocks wasn't really part of our plan, but we'll party anyway
Today we're having a DPC meeting, and i'll be sure to propose a toast to TA.

spencer:
Wouldn't you, since you guys are way ahead of us, have to put the TA-train in reverse to be able to run us over ? Or am i missing the metafore here?

 

[Dantoo]

Absolutely brilliant effort! Hearty congratulations. The organisational effort alone for something like that is mind blowing. Truly, the DPC's have set a new standard for recruitment, education, encouragement and communication that the other teams will now have to emulate.

Well done.

 

[eNeRGy]

Thank you.

It was very much work to organize this all, and therefore I would like to thank the DPC-Crew members, the Distributed.net members (which helped a lot) and of course all our members !

Thank you Dutch Power Cows !

And Thank you TA for your congratz !

(hmm, maybe I forgot someone, sorry )

Buhahahahahahaha

[Diadem]

Pinball:

Yeah! you're right!
But I think it would look very weird in the stats, seeing TA flush -1.4M blocks

One other things. I noticed the block total of TA is 406M. That means that you have passed the 400M barrier somewhere this week. I think we DPC's were to preoccupied with our MF to notice that.

But congratulations anyway! Let's hope you can pass /. fast enough to be the first team to reach half a billion blocks!

 

[vss1980]

Yep, Diadem, thanks for backing up my maths - there is one flaw. That assumes that we wont increase our crack rates (ie. no new computers joining and cracking continueing at the same rate), which is not going to happen. In fact as distributed computing speeds increase, more people join, the speed at which we approach the key increases - which adversely effects you reaching 1st place (and us also). Example, if tomorrow everybody cracks twice as much as normal on other teams (not us or DPC), you would have to effectively double the 350k blocks to 700k as we are approaching the key at twice the speed.

In a way I prefer talking like this, as opposed to &quot;Move outta the way, the DPC train is coming&quot;. Aye, it is coming, but at least like this we have an estimated arrival time.

 

[Engineer]

Congrats to everyone in the great fun of RC5..... You guys did a great job, but that 9.5 Million lottery you guys got has got to be the luckiest damn thing I've ever saw... Talk about recruiting...Good job guys, now back to regular cracking!!!!!

 

[TwoFace]

WOW!

Nice going DPC... altho' I can't say I've been crying my eyes out because the MF6 is over this is the end of an era...

/me takes a moments silence for the end of MegaFlush



Hope you guys will continue to give us a great race... (in fact I know you will )

PS... Now I've only gotta find a couple of mobos and nics for those two P2 233's I've got lying around so I can aproach Russ' goal of 500MHz added

/me looks around for the paycheck...

 

[SSP]

Congrats DPC's. I hope we can put our differences aside, and have a great run.

 

[br0wn]

GRATZ, it is indeed require a lot of works and coordination to
achieve the MF6.

 

[KingHam]

I guess that I can join in on these congratulations. WTG!

[Russ]

Suzie Q,

Where the HELL have you been? I haven't seen you in ages!!!!

Russ, NCNE

 

[Suzie Q]

Hi Russ,

haven't been posting that much lately. That's quite an understatement considering this is my 6th post here since October 10th last year .
Have been busy with work, but that's all over now. I'm getting paid till the end of the year for doing nothing . Maybe get some MCPs(hey, kill me ) and then shoot for some computerrelated job. Dunno yet, got enough time now to get the certificates and to post on forums like these.
Guess I turned into a lurker the past year .

Laterz,

Dennet aka &quot;Suzie Q&quot;

 

[BoberFett]

HAHAHA! &quot;We love it when a .plan comes together&quot;

So do you get A-Team reruns over there in the Netherlands?

 

[pjotreke]

Yes we do . (Over and over again in the last 6 years or so)

 

[Dutchman2000]

Last 6 years ? I remember them being aired somewhere in the mid 80's, so I would say over and over again for the last 15 years

Thnx for the congrats guys
