That proxy need's changing like mine from 68719476736 blocks to 1099511627776 & there's 4294967296 key's in869482 a block now. Plus there's 4722366482869645213696 Key's to do. Wow it going to take ages. Time to play with the perl script.

Edit just found it you need to change two lines only to reflect the new block size.

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Initialize internal script variables. Do not edit these settings.
#
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
sub init
{
# Contest specific information.
$contestname = "Bovine RC5-72";
$contestsuffix = "rc5";
$conteststatsurlpre = "http://stats.distributed.net/rc5-64/";
$contestsize = 72;
$blockbase = 32;
$blockweight = 1;

orangekid.teamanandtech.com (default port 2064 only)

it goes through the teamanandtech.com pproxy so all your stats will show there also :)

Also you need to alter this at the bottom of the perl script.

#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Returns rate for day (24 h) in kilo keys/sec
#
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
sub rate_day
{
my $blocks = shift @_;

if (!defined($blocks)) { $blocks = 0; }

return ($blockweight * 1000 * $blocks / 20.125);
} # rate_day


It's for the Mk/s a day rate

The old rate was 1 Mk/s = 322 blocks a day, and if I;ve got it right it now 1 Mk/s = 20.125 (322/16 - [ Old block size 16*1^28 = 1*2^32])

Wow. This explains the sudden drop in OGR-25. When I'm number one on the TA OGR-25 team for two days in a row, something is definitely astray. ;)

I'll download one and work with it for a while. Probably convert the herd over sooner or later.

Does anyone know of any monitoring programs that work with the -72 project yet? Preferably one that works over a lan and on WinXP.

And us stubborn Norwegians from North Dakota won't quit until it's over or we're dead, whichever comes first. :D

I still can't get gnuplot.exe to generate the graphs yet, but my pproxy is up and running again. And I've got to figure out how to make it look the same on the Internet as it does on my intranet. Maybe it's because I'm using AnalogX's Simple Server instead of Apache. Oh the joys of running a pproxy! :p

pProxy: datapimps.myftp.org
ports: 23 & 2064
stats: http://datapimps.myftp.org

I'm tempted, but I'm also neck-deep in helping the D2OL TeAm tip the Cows before the new year! If anyone wants to arrange with me to donate some CPU time, I will reciprocate in the new year :)

Assim, probably not many. Especially with the length of RC5-72, I don't expect it to be that popular with us, or many other teams.:eek:

Also you need to change this : -

print OUTFILE " <TR><TD CLASS=note NOWRAP COLSPAN=$colsp ALIGN=CENTER>\n",
" For past days: Mkeys/sec = $blockweight * blocks / 20.125
\n",
" For today: Mkeys/sec = ($blockweight * blocks / 20.125) / (seconds today / (60*60*24))\n",
" </TD></TR>\n";

I that's it all ( from 322 to 20.125)

It is rather long! ,I think this RC5 project will out last even SETI! ;)

We'll see. Scientists can always dig up more signals, but you only have so many keys in the RC5-72 keyspace.

Holy geez!! I'm in! When did this start? My desktop is on it, my laptop will be as soon as I get it back...

I've been in distributed computing limbo since forever... only doing a bit of prime 95
