Have you looked into your rear view mirror lately? There is someone new just behind you!
pasdabru moved up to 11 from 18 yesterday with 150,565 DP.
 
Joe,

I'm constantly checking out the rear view mirror. In fact, I look out the rear view mirror more then the windshield. I think someone teamed up with pasdabru.

Heh heh, I know what you mean. Just don't forget the side view mirrors as well!
. I think someone teamed up with pasdabru.
Could be, but those were new DP, as were the 163,310 a week ago! Each of these dumps is nearly the daily average for everyone else (including the Federation) for the last 6 weeks. If he can do the same in another week, ....
 
He's ars and there's discussion about in ars forums, he says he temporarily borged bunch of machines for that. Dunno how that could be since he also states they were like P3-800's..
 
Joe,

If that's the case we will be in 11th position in a very short time, and only in 11th position for a short time, then it's all downhill....

Postman, want to join the Federation???? We need some HELP 🙁

 
Postman, I didn't think of looking in the ARS forum. (There is a forum besides TA DC?) When I did I found this:
Got a little bad news.... Turns out that some odd events occured that resulted in the install script not running on Friday therfore it will only be from noon or later on Sunday until tuesday morning that gets dumped from the weekend... I guess to look at from a postive angle at least it was discovered before tuesday!!!
from pasdabru.

 
Joe,

Later on in that thread he said he was in error and everything was allright, running the way it should.

This means The Feds will loose the #10 pos very soon. We are not able to encounter that amount of power.

Pasdabru expects to have ~100-150k DP's every few days.

On the bright side, this phenomenon is all over the DPC forum. They are also frightened of his combined computing power. With this happening, the DPC could loose their #1 pos overall within two weeks to Ars. There will also no change of them being able to get that pos back.

With the power Pasdabru brings in, the ECCp contest is expected to be over within 80 days or so [See DPC forum for the estimate, they say 72 days.]. There is talk of starting the next ECCp contest, but that is very premature. Read it somewhere on the DPC forum. Will look up the URL for ya all.

Peter, Thanks very much for the info.

I do have a question though. Where did you see the expectation that
Pasdabru expects to have ~100-150k DP's every few days
? I thought I read that he could only do this on weekends and holidays. If he can only run on weekends, then he is only shortening the contest by roughly 1 day each week. (I know, I know, the contest could end at any time, but let's assume that we need to get 58,421,659 DPs or so). Most estimates that I've seen talk about reaching 58,421,659 DPs by October 31st. If Pasdabru can keep this up then we will reach that point by October 8th or so instead. That's still time enough for him to reach the #5 user position and help topple DPC from the #1 team position.

Joe.
 
Hi Joe,

Pasdabru said somewhere in one of his messages on the Ars forum (don't know which thread, but I expect it wasn't the same one mentioned here), he was in error and all was working well. The 'every few days' bit comes from the DPC forum I believe, where they are monitoring his flushes. Until now, the expectation has come true. Flushes are between 80k and 130k, with the occasional uprise to 150k.

On the linked DPC Hitparade for ECCp, there is an estimated ending date for the project. It is in the first few lines:
Met de output van vandaag (378.232 punten) duurt het nog 72 dagen totdat beide gezochte punten bekend zijn.

It is the 'nog 72 dagen' bit. Translation of the whole sentence:
======
With the output of today (378k) it will take about 72 days before both wanted points are known.
======

As far as I know, all the estimates of the DPC are based on a weeks output, so they are quite reliable.
You can check in their forum for the above sentence in their upcoming Hitparades for ECCp and see if it is holding at 70-100 days.
Also, the estimates are based on the point-space to be completed as a whole, so this is the max # of days. I agree with you the contest could be over tomorrow. 🙁
But let's not hope so. I would like to read the desperate comments of the DPC, when they talk frantically about stopping Ars taking over the #1 spot. 🙂
At least, it is more fun to read than the talks on our forum, when they overtook us in the RC5 contest. 😀

Hope this helps,
Peter.
 
Just checked on the newest DPC hitparade.

There it says:
Met de output van vandaag (611.365 punten) duurt het nog 43 dagen totdat beide gezochte punten bekend zijn.

So now it is down to 43 days, but over 300k DP's more are flushed than yesterday.

Team Weazy made a giant flush of almost 350k. 😱
The French X team is also running wild at the moment. 😱
 
Team Weazy didn't made a 350k flush I think what you saw was that PrttyBean combined her account into the mini-team Brew Masters Account. It made it look like that they flushed her DPs, but they weren't new ones. It catapulted them to the top of the individual stats but had no bearing on the team stats.

Looking at the stats I think the French team had something similar happen.
 
Thnx C., that clarifies the Team Weazy DP count for the day.

French X, on the other hand, is having a huge average increase in daily output lately. There was talk of some sort of merger between them and another French team. Don't know where, though. Believe it was the DPC forum. Have read so many forums lately, just to keep up with new developments.
 
From Ko Wisse's stat page:
Totaal gevonden blokjes: 31.493.156 = 54,30%
Het project loopt al 412 dagen met een gemiddelde dagoutput van 76.439 punten.
Met de output van vandaag (180.216 punten) duurt het nog 147 dagen totdat beide gezochte punten bekend zijn.

This is more in line with Mere Mortal's and Herb's stat pages.
 
You're right Joe.
It appears the DPC's are not weekly averaging the total # of days left, but let it jump up and down according to the daily flushed DP's.

Oh well, at least it gives us a few months more of crunching to do and ofcourse it will give Ars (or better Pasdabru 😀 ) a chance of surpassing the DPC and take over the #1 spot overall. Would love to see that. 🙂
