You got Einstein wrong well part of it

Difference between 1st and us

Should be

Difference between 2nd and us, as thats the position we will get by passing them

You're right.

That's what comes with taking short cuts with copy 'n' paste. I'll change it now.

Rockinfroggi has found a Prime ??? Any one know what to do with this as the forum suggests it has to be reported, not had chance to fully read all about it?

Thanks Timby for pointing that out I wouldn't have seen it if it had hit me in the face.
Sure I read somewhere you have to respond to their email.

The Frog did something right :shock: better make a note in my diary

Well done! Don't know what it means but mega kudos to you!

Well done gary

Posted: **Tue Feb 20, 2007 10:43 am**

Thanks all, but all I was doing was crunching like the rest of you, guess I just got lucky.
Not sure it adds anything to the team like Uotd but it put a smile on my face :lol:

Belated cogratulations......it just shows that crunching pays off, it just takes time and the odd computer or million.

Better than I have ever managed

Just had a look on your profile for Primegrid.
I`d like to wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are back on your feet soon.

Kindest regards,

Just as update on the Prime Finding exploites of myself and Rockinfroggi (what a lucky pair we are) if you are fourtunate enough to find a Prime here's what happens:-

Hi Timby,

All primes are doublechecked. If you happen to be the doublechecker, you're not the original finder so you won't hear from Rytis. If you are, you'll get an email from him. This should now be an automated process so it'll probably take a week tops.

Whether you're the first or not is something you yourself can normally find out in advance by reviewing your 'My results' list. A prime is easily recognized as it takes twice as long to check if it is a twin and (thus) gets double credits too, 2.36. If your comp was the first one to send in the result, you're the finder.
Unfortunately Rytis is doing some heavy maintenance on the Primegen results and as a precaution he has switched off the resultlists, which are pretty heavy queries.
So the message for now is to just wait and see if you're getting an email.
And if you do, congrats on joining the club!!

So keep on crunching those LLR WU's.

Can`t attach to Primegrid, so I`ll go 100% with Einstein for the crunch.

Posted: **Thu Feb 22, 2007 9:40 pm**

Kon Grats you two

I will keep trying maybe one day i will find one of those primes ....

Managed to attach to primegrid after many attempts, so you can put me down for both projects.

Sushhhhhhh don't tell Rockinfroggi but I got a second Prime

Finally got fed up with the uFluids so I've got my three on primegrid now.

I probably won't be around at start of Mini-crunch so the stats are starting early.

Official start Friday 23:59 23rd February
Official finish Sunday 23:59 25th February

Seems like a few have started early - not a problem!

Einstein has come back on which has played havoc with the scaling on that graph.

I had a bit of a problem earlier on when I switched on to PrimeGrid. Seems okay now as I just downloaded 62 WUs.

RCN had a similar problem a couple of weeks ago. 'Shut down the BOINC manager and restart' was the advice then.

Yeah thanks mike, did that 3 times and it still wouldnt play ball, been like this since 1430 this afternoon! So I have swopped over to Einstein on this PC for a short while

From the main news page of Prime Grid:-

QUOTE

News
2007-02-24 14:07:04 UTC Reporting world record prime numbers
PrimeGrid's Twin Prime Search subproject has been recently finding prime numbers that are among top 5000 biggest prime numbers ever known. We want the prime finders to be correctly credited so that their names appear on scientific papers (if any), so we have been sending out emails to the participants who find the numbers. However, the prime reporting rate is relatively low, and we think that this might be because of some email software incorrectly marking our emails as spam. If you run LLR application from PrimeGrid in your BOINC, please check your spam folder and/or allow emails from services@www.primegrid.com to go to your inbox - you might be loosing a chance to have your name tied with an important scientific discovery!

Goes to Bobuk for the third Prime Finder from UBT.

Well I've just had to reset my second Einstein work unit of the weekend. Bummer!!

The PrimeGrid units I've had have been crunching well but I'm getting the server overloaded message so can't get any new WU's.

Why do I always seem to get more problems when on Crunch weekends? :(

Posted: **Sun Feb 25, 2007 1:28 pm**

Aint it always the way :roll:

Posted: **Sun Feb 25, 2007 1:50 pm**

Well the PrimeGrid crunch is quite good got plenty of members finidng some primes in there

Posted: **Thu Mar 01, 2007 9:02 pm**

Even though the mini-crunch has finished I've notice that PrimeGrid is still holding up at around 5 times normal output. The gap has gone from 137,412 to 107,770 - a decrease of nearly 30,000 in 6 days and at the current rate we should get to UK number 1 team in about 3-4 weeks.

GO TEAM!
