I hit 1 million but I don't feel like celebrating

[mindless]

I hit 1 million blocks on the the 11th stats run but I have only contributed about 270,000 of those blocks. The rest have been from the PhF :|. Almost makes me want to switch to SETI, or maybe OGR...


a spell checker built in to the forums really would come in handy sometimes

It's been a bummer for a lot of the people, mindless. 🙁 I can understand being let down when one of your big milestones becomes an empty victory through no fault of your own. If you do want to try something different, you could make a new Dnet account and do both RC5 and OGR without interference; I think that's how RaySun2Be got the PhF off his back. The new DSI GammaFlux 2.0 client is supposed to come out soon and we are pretty low in participation there. The SETI team is on a rampage. Plenty of opportunities around here! 🙂

Ive been toying with the idea of switching IDs but if I switched with RC5 Id just join a miniteam instead.
I don't know what Im gonna do, but regardless I will be cracking for TA with a few mhz under RC5 somewhere and the rest will still be under TA.

I don't think I could leave TA, everyone in the forums makes this the #1 TeAm no matter what rank we are.

what or who is PhF? just wondering..

Deleted-

The PhF is the Phantom Flusher, who started contributing to various TA members several months ago, on the order of 20k blocks/day each!
It was kinda fun at first, but became a real bother to many of us later. I still get 6-7000/day from this source.

I can understand your bitterness mindless 🙁 But it's still great to have you on the TeAm!!

deleted21: PhF aka the Phantom Flusher is/was a trojan/virus or something to that effect that suddenly started flushing to different accounts in the TeAm, thereby bumping their daily production up some 20k blocks each. What really stinks is that these blocks are really not "legal" blocks, since they're cracked using computers that aren't voluntarily a part of the projects, but computers that have been "taken over" by some malignant jack@$$[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img] He was never found, altho' his production has decreased quite a bit AFAIK.

With love and respect your fellow TA member

Mindless,
I know EXACTLY how you feel! And the PhF:| wasn't fun for me from day 1. 🙁 I was in a race with KingHam to 750K, and we had been racing since 100K, when the PhF:| hit and screwed things up.

I was really bummed for awhile, but didn't want to start over with RC5, didn't want to quit TA, so eventually I decided to join the Mini-team TWTA and switched all my herd to them. 🙂

The PhF:| still is cracking about 12K on my old email. 🙁🙁

Not trying to recruit you away from rc5 but if you're frustrated with that project we'd love to have you on the SETI team. We were doing very well up until the release of the new 3.03 client and the SetiQ beta caused a few problems for some members but I think we're starting to get back on track now...

Thanks TwoFace, trust me its great to be here 😀

RaySun2Be, I remember that now (I was lurking back then, like I normally do now). If I ever find the PhF there will be hell to pay.

Robor, If the 86344 minus ~1500 (mine) which were dumped in my email today are illegitimate then I will go back to my alien hunting days.

That really sucks about the phantom flusher. The rc5 project has the PhF and the SETI project has a hacked client being used by some cheaters.


:| There's always someone who's got to spoil the fun for everyone. :|


Hopefully your rc5 blocks are cool. If not, we'd be glad to have you back, mindless! 🙂
