me.stupidQuestion = Is there any good reason to change the random prefix in your .ini
for a client running rc5 which doesn't have a live connection? will
this reduce your chances of repeating blocks or anything like that?
 
You can try to set it to something that is not being work on currently. That would reduce the amount of duplicated work
 
It was my impression that the prefix= parm is not used by the newer clients, that they use a different scheme for creating randoms.
 
Ya, the INI file doesn't sotre the prefix now. As for older clients, don't change it. Dnet tries to keep the randoms in a certain range so that it makes stats processing easier, so you'll not only screw them up, but it might not get counted.
 
cool..thanks for the heads up

was just wondering because i have a few machines at work that can only do ramdom blocks
there not on our internet connection

thanks

woooo how about sneaker net or e-mail??? Get a huge set of blocks put them on a floppy and copy them to the un-networked machine. Then when they are done, copy the out file to the floppy import into another client, and download a new bunch again....

Or use shared blocks, or put up a proxy... 😉 The L=FAQ]http://www.teamanandtech.com[/L] will talk you throught it.
 
i was thinking about the proxy idea.. just haven't gotten around to seting it up yet.

i do flush/fetch the buffers from a connected machine whenever i get a chance to

thanks
