The Phantom Flusher seems to be coming back online

[BoberFett]

These are my RC5 stats even though almost all of my power is on OGR.

10,466 blocks were completed yesterday (0.00001523% of the keyspace)
at a sustained rate of 32,517 KKeys/sec! Ranked 384 for the day.

Doh, everyone else seems to benefit from PnF but me. Has he got something against me?!

 

[JHutch]

Yep, he's definitely back. I'm back up to 15k blocks, and I only have one small Cyrix from my herd actually cracking rc5...

shameless plug ... if the phantom is reading this, pass some this way! ---> godel@hotmail.com

Bober,
I don't know much about the PhF, but your stats look great to me. Last month at this time we were closing in on 1.5 mil. Now you are unreachable by me and most of us little guys. I purposely am not doing OGR to try to catch back up. So much for that theory. Anyway goodluck.

Who is (s)he targetting? Is this somebody who favours AnandTech or just picks people at random?

In any case, I'd prefer never to get phantom blocks. Just makes the dnet people look bad if the computers these are from are not the Phantoms. Not a big deal, since I'm doing zero RC5 anyway.

 

[ViRGE]

Ya, he's definately comming back. Now that it's been an entire work day, I wouldn't be surprised if he was back up to 25K blocks or so by the end of today.

I think if he has the ability to change the clients and get back to RC5 after the OGR fiasco, we can safely assume it's not a trojan. I hope so, anyway.

Russ I seriously doubt that is the case, its more probable that Dnet has upgraded its proxies and now the older versions of the clients are no longer cracking the "bad client" ogr blocks but have switched back to RC5.

 

[Russ]

Oh yeah, I didn't think of that. If the infected machines were flushing directly to dnet's servers than it could still very well be a trojan.

For the last several weeks I've been getting upwards of 25K-30K blocks per day from the PhF. It sort of skewed our race.



Though I still would have whupped you.

A positive side effect of the Phantom, now more people have links to their stats in their sigs
