Say it aint So!!!

Saw this while checking out my RC5 stats.

Current Information

66,930,713 blocks were completed yesterday (0.097% of the keyspace)
at a sustained rate of 207,946,487 KKeys/sec!

The odds are 1 in 218 that we will wrap this thing
up in the next 24 hours. (This also means that we'll
exhaust the keyspace in 218 days at yesterday's rate.)

There have been 325,237 participants
since the beginning of this project.
30,715 of them were active yesterday
and of those, 81 were brand-new participants.

There are 12,464 registered teams.
4,086 of them submitted blocks yesterday.
(0 of them are brand new!)

For those of us who haven't followed the RC5 project in a while, could you explain what's the matter? 😕

 

[TuffGuy]

probably that it's gonna end in ~218 days.

 

[Wellcky]

TuffGuy hit it on the nail!!

Less than that - Pushing out one months worth of backup work right now to the Cube😛

Mabey if we're lucky, it won't end until right at the end of the keyspace. That way it'll be very near our own Bday(Dec. 26, 1998), which gives us even more to celebrate.🙂

I hope it takes that long. Then I could add another 4M or so blocks to my current stats! 😛

I'm wondering how far past 100% of the keyspace it will go before someone realizes we have another CSC on our hands. :Q
