WTF? More missing blocks! Dnet!!?? How about a friggin answer??!! It just got worse!

[burnedout]

Everybody is low. And it's proportional too. I'm down about 3000 blocks for yesterday. Still in the top 100.

 

[BGod]

13,820 Jator
13,862 Mika
7,293 Dnet

That's a 47% loss. :|

 

[cpars]

hell if they are not going to count my blocks, maybe they would be put to better use elsewhere

 

[JWMiddleton]

Mika 3,404
Dnet 1,742
loss 1,662
or 48.8% lost

Are they giving out whole block of numbers just to fill gaps!

 

[Slapstick]

I also seem to be short 3000-4000 for the day.

 

[DnetMHZ]

1,280 blocks were completed yesterday ?????? My one machine does more than that in a day..
this is getting bad

I can not address your previously missing blocks. I do not have access to the master or the stats server. I have forwarded the mail messages on. I can tell you there was a backup at the keymaster yesterday. Everyone was short blocks because not everything was returned to the master by the time 0000UTC rolled around.

There is still a backup (I don't know why the public proxy page isn't online but its not) and its slowly working through it. You should see more of your work appear tomorrow but it will prob take a few days to bring itself up to date if history is any indication of time taken to recover from a backlog or work.

Our new keymaster is in now here. It is being prepared to be placed for production. If all goes well it should be in place this weekend (Yes its supposed to really happen.) It is a Dell Poweredge 2550 Dual PIII 866 with 1gig of ram. Should be way more than enough to keep up with the work being generated well into the future.

Thanks for the update Moose.

Thanks Moose!

When the backlogged blocks 'come back', so to speak, are they counted in the daily totals for the day they appeared? Or, are they just added into the total blocks completed? If it's the latter, and you're checking the daily totals to see if the blocks 'come back', that could explain why they aren't showing.

 

[GeoffS]

Engine- They show in the total for the day that dNet processes them.. not when they are sent. Sometimes they show up in the next day's totals, but Russ has noted that several times in the past, these blocks *never* appear. That's what has all of us agitated!

Moose,

WHO CAN? I've given up any hope for past months, but how about at LEAST an explanation for the 7th, and 10th of this month?

Engine,

I check both.

THIS BITES:

TA Proxy for 6/12/01 6538
DNET for 6/12/01 2101

4437 blocks GONE! I haven't had a crappy 2000 wu day in a LONG time, I've been robbed!

/me thinking about going back to SETI. At least they don't LOSE wu's!

 

[AppleTalking]

Thanks for the update Moose! Nice to see you post here every now and again!

[bot2600]

Hmmm, boy I hope this gets fixed. My herd contains one athlon 900, one athlon 700, one celeron ~750, one celeron 840 and I only got credit for 1390 blocks yesterday. Humph.

[drewski]

Yeah, my June 12th numbers are crap too. Through Tacube I had about 1700, and another 300 from my work machine.

dNet -> 644.

That's over 60% loss rate.

 

[HomerFan]

New slogan for Distributed.net

http://n0cgi.distributed.net/slogans/

anyone care to vote on it?

What's the use, Dnet already lost the cracked key anyway
-All active participants watching stats - 2 votes - (vote for this)

 

[ragiepew]

nice slogan... ehh I voted for it...

 

[Wolfie]

How about losing all your blocks? According to Dnet they didn't get ANY of my blocks I had done. NOT ONE!

At least you all got some......

Wolfie

[edit]This was for the 12th BTW...[/edit]

 

[Twioz]

Voted for it. That is rather humorous. What if they did loose the key already? Perhaps it was found in the first month but do to a clerical error it was never noticed. I can see it now. Ok now lets search all the key combinations back the other direction!

 

[ragiepew]

i believe that keys that are lost for more than 30 days are re-issued...

 

[kmmatney]

June 12th:

TeamAnandtech Proxy: 10505 Blocks
DNet : 5,250 blocks

What the heck is going on!?! I've noticed this for a long time, but its recently gotten worse.

 

[Wik]

Well I am glad to know that it just isn't on my end. I am missing about %50 of my numbers.
