I think we need a thread to just report missing blocks. Try to be has accurate has you can possibly can. So here goes...

(Lets try to stick with a common format)


Dumped_____ 134,974

Credited___ 121,098
-----------------------
Difference_ 13,876


Now since I also dump for Michael I have to subtract 3837 from difference

10,040 missing WU :|


For those of you who are missing WU please report it here. I seriously doubt that I go hit by that many randoms. Maybe it is somehting else we are missing. :|


Hopefully this will show up, I can handle 1000 or so missing blocks from a large dump like mine, but 10k+ is way to many.

It's not pretty, but it's what I'm missing from November 3, 2000 until now.

 
I'm always missing block also, but haven't started a log file, guess I should.

Any chance that is part of DPC doing? In otherwards, can you select the "randoms" that you do, and then if you know where in the sequence Dnet is currently cracking, just pick sequences that would be part of tomorrow's flush?

In essence, you could "steal" blocks from someone?

Possible?
 
I don't know if that's possible Jarhead, but I know I dumped 2600+ WU from one machine on 1-31. That's on top of my normal 600-800 that various machines I have in my herd dump daily. Of that, only 2196 WU of that was counted. I'm looking at 1000+ WU lost in one day! I'm going to setup a Pproxy for the machines in my herd soon so I can keep better track of what comes up missing daily. To think I didn't get credit for a third of the non-random work I summitted in one day! :|

 
We're missing all of 2/1/01. Everyone is: The entire day's production is gone. So, that would be about 150K blocks or so.

Russ, NCNE
 
Stupid me, I waited until after the 31st cutoff time to dump my 150,000+ blocks I had stored since I moved my store.
CLLsr was nice enough to let me borrow a dial up acct. to access the internet until my DSL gets setup.

I know I had a few thousand randoms, because of a server crash after I left the store one Saturday night, and didn't get to reboot the machine until Monday morning, but that is on top of the estimated 150,000+ good ones.

What a HUGE disappointment not to have them show up. 🙁
 
Well we could make a copy of our buff-out.rc5 before flush,
flush, copy the file back in, and flush again.

Yeah, Dnet would cry like a baby, but hey, they are always
missing about 10% of our work.

The ball is in their court and they need to figure out
what they are consistently screwing up on a routine basis.

Yeah, I've heard excuses, over and over, those blocks do
not come back and show up later.

Sounds like their system is somewhat dicked up and half
baked.

No reason 10% of the blocks should head off to never never
land.

Just imagine if 10% of your file download was missing all
the time, you'd be upset. Or if 10% of you bank deposit
was always missing.

Excuses, excuses, excuses...FIX IT!!!

If I remember right, this means you and your buds MOOSE.
 
I would be more forgiving if it's April 1, but it just February 1.:| My entire blocks are nowhere to be found. Based on my past experienced with lost blocks, I will NEVER EVER see those blocks.🙁:|:Q:disgust::frown:😕:|🙁:|:Q:disgust::frown:😕:|:Q😕:|:Q:|:Q:|😕
 
The point is it is their fault blocks are missing,
not much difference which proxy you use.

Of course they will just take the easy route and
change the client to under-report your work by 10%.
 
With folks spending their own time and money,
you'd think Dnet would feel obligated to assure
each and every block is counted!

Shoot, they should have all of this stuff on
backup, it would be so easy to go back and fix
all of their screw-ups.

Like the missing stuff from December...

I don't think they give a rip at all.

Ever wonder if the key just happens to be
in one of the missing blocks?

I guess they just care about press on their
project, and getting headlines, instead of
caring about the individuals who do the work
for them.

Sounds like the same disease alot of Corporate
America has, who loose their best and brightest,
and then can't figure out why their company has
so many problems.

I'm nearly fed up with Dnet and their antics,
I may just start my own jihad against
www.distributed.net.

 
Ah, here is another idea.

I we can set up many different email accounts,
start double flushing using their accounts.
You could even use various free internet providers,
to do the same thing, and double flush there.

Let them go ahead and lock the Dnet account,
just start another. Maybe it would get them
off of their lazy derrieres....
 
Yeah, he probably is, and doesn't give a rats
*ss. He got CC'd on this, probably basking in
the glory of some interview, feeling pretty
damn smug.

If anyone has a problem with my tone, so be it,
go look at my past posts, you'll see this is
the exception.

Heck, bet I could get some press with a anti-dnet
effort.
 
And just to remind all of you,

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING NEW

it has been going on for some time
with no rectification by Dnet, just
one excuse after another. If we
are really lucky, we will get another,
but with no ACTION by Dnet, as
usual.
 
Gee Jarhead, while everyone is in the same boat, I think you need to go get laid and chill a little.

I'm not saying I don't agree with you, I'm just saying it's not worth bursting a vein in your head over.
 
Yes Jarhead, you need to calm down. We're all aware of the problem, and right now, there's not a whole lot we can do about it. Wait until Decibel checks out the stats today(usually checks them every afternoon as far as I can tell), and as soon as he sees what's wrong, I'm sure he'll redo 1 and 2, then follow up with 3.
 
Let see, at a 10% loss with each flush...

1 flush = 10% loss
Double flush = 5% loss
Triple flush = 2.5% loss
Quad flush = 1.25% loss
Quintuple flush = 0.3125% loss
Sextuple flush = 0.15625% loss

You
need to flush 10x to get something
that doesn't hurt your feelings for the
work you do, with your own blood, sweat,
and tears, for a 0.004340278% loss. How
is it your own blood, sweat, and tears?
You gotta work get the money to buy a
computer. If you say it wouldn't be doing
anything anyways, B.S., you got to pay for
the electricity, right? And you do consume
more electricity when cracking.


 
Chill you say?!?

I don't think so boy.

Dnet has been playing their asinine little
game just a little too long.

1/3 of the Fortune 500 companies are ran or
owned by former Marines (bet you didn't know
that, now did you college boy.) It is more than
any frat, college, or organization can claim.
Why? What do you think it takes to take a hill
knowing you and/or half of your buddies are going
to die? Call it brainwashing if you choose. Some
call it dedication, above and beyond the call of
duty. Remember that, next time you visit some
War Memorial, these were men who stood head and
shoulders above the rest of us.

Did you know that Tom Monaghan went into the hole
5 times, competing against Pizza Hut, who sold their
pizzas below cost to try and put him under? (Oh, BTW
Pepsico owned Pizza Hut at the time, ever wonder why
Dominos doesn't carry Pepsi?). He didn't even have
a degree at the time, he just had the dedication of a
U.S. Marine, and would not listen to the bankers who
told him to sell and take the money and run, there was
no possible way to compete with the deep pockets of
Pepsico. He held on, and now he is stores in all 50
states, and 2000 overseas, with over 3.36 Billion
dollars of sales!!! (imagine how many pizzas that would
be!)

I'll busta vein if I want, it is my choice, since this
is America. Dnet can be a memory in the past, if they
so choose.
 
If Jarhead feels the need the vent let him be. But something has to be done about these losses. :|
 
Okay, people, let's not let this thread become another of those that turns in to yelling at each other. We are all on the same team.

Dnet screwed up, and a little venting at THEM is healthy. Venting at each other is not.

Personally, I would feel a lot better about their mistakes if they would at least keep us informed. Yes, I know that there is a note in the plan for the 2nd, but it does not explain anything. Just a quick, "we're aware, sorry, the blocks are gone: Or, blocks will be back tonight," is all I ask.

Russ, NCNE
 
Getting this thread back on track!

I flushed 14482 RC5 blocks (+/- 100 or so) on 2/1, was credited zero for 2/1 and 8826 for 2/2. I flush direct to dnet. As of today, short about 5700 or so.

But as a comparison from a few days earlier, I flushed 17478 on 1/29, and 9633 on 1/30 (again +/- 100 or so each day). I was credited 14115 for 1/29, 10533 on 1/30, and 2618 on 1/31. They did show up, but a little late.
 
Okay, let take a look at some numbers

Assuming each computer uses 150W of power, and you have
2 computers per user, and between OGR and RC5 you have 80,000
users, you consume around 24,000,000 Watts of electricity.

Since there are a disporportionate number of computers in
California that contribute to the distributed.net projects,
shoot, you could toss in SETI if you want, would it not make
sense to outlaw distributed computing projects in the State of
California? All California ISPs could help enforce this by not
allowing connections to server addresses involved with distributed
computing, to include emails to those destinations.

This would help the power problem in California, to include the
fossil fuel power plants, and reduce pollution at the same time!

What a great idea! Boy, a person could drop this to a few
environmental groups, a few state offices, and we'd be off and
running!
 
Jarhead, you are suggestion of taking people right to choose. They have a right whether or not they want to run rc5/ogr/seti/gammaflux. Yes california has a power problem and those people are aware of it. Now whether they choose to or not to shutdown their pcs when unused, that is their descision and not someone elses.
 
Humm...

And the converse is true.

If you waste the power, then it takes away from the
power I need to heat my house, causing rolling blackouts
and the like. I am an old man, and the cold makes my
weary bones ache and my arthritis to flame up. I do not
get around well, and my eyes are too poor to drive, and
without power, I must eat my meals cold.

Thus you take away my basic needs, over riding your play
toy.

Thanks for the idea Pal.
