Hi Robert,
[Robert van der Peijl:]
We might not need a special version of prime95.
How about if the _PrimeNet server_ itself only issue expired
exponents to "power"-users?
If that is a real possibility, perhaps Scott Kurowski could
look into that?
I would instead recommend

George seems to add the CPU credit from QA tests to his records. So
far as PrimeNet is concerned, we (deliberately) don't use PrimeNet to
communicate results; in any case PrimeNet doesn't recognize that we
own the QA assignments (some of them are actually triple-checks the
rest are outside
Hi all,
The PrimeNet 4.0 Proxy Service (for Windows) has been updated to support v19.
It will support Prime95.exe or NTPrime.exe v19 using RpcNet.dll that ships in
the v19 zip file. Just as before, it statelessly channels and maps RPC to RPC
or HTTP transactions with PrimeNet.

PrimeNet's statistics page has been updated.

Hi all,
Nick Hilliard has finished the native FreeBSD 3.x version of v18.1
MPrime for PrimeNet. It is a limited availability beta version we
want to first test on relatively fast machines to see complete test
cycles as soon as possible. Following a few weeks of testing the

Hi Greg,
It would be very helpful if there were a way to request,
from the Primenet server, a list of machines and the
version reported by their last result. This would make
administration of more than a few machines much
easier. Any possibility of this?
Sure. If there is enough demand I

I'll wait until I get source code before doing anything else - I'm
expecting to hear from Saul then, and will ask about a web server demo
hookup. Maybe he would set it up for us.
When I asked about a proof, he said they didn't have one - just a huge
test set. Short of a proof, I thought
Hi all,
If you have a PrimeNet question, you'll get a faster answer if you email us at
[EMAIL PROTECTED] instead of the list. I receive the Mersenne digests
much later than your messages. I'm also concerned about people dumping a lot of
PrimeNet operational traffic on a list meant primarily
Hi all,
There are 3 SunOS workstations in this office that sit doing little
more than reading and displaying files - so they can be kept busy
testing for primes.
You can always try to compile mprime on these. The network code might need
platform-specific tweaking but the guts of the
p.s. Does this discussion really belong on the PrimeNet list rather
than the mersenne list?
I agree. I'm guessing few Mersenne list participants have a decided interest in
PrimeNet operations issues. Perhaps it suffices to post a gentle reminder of
the PrimeNet list's address, as needed

Hi all,
The Mercury article mentions a $1100 prize for finding a prime. Who
is offering this? I wasn't aware that any such prize was involved in
GIMPS. (The prize was also mentioned in the Lode article, but I
assumed they had confused GIMPS with distributed.net or some such.)

A collective block of Q A:
Is it possible for two GIMPS accounts to be merged into one new account,
such that the work completed by the two accounts is credited to the new
account ?
Or is it possible to take the work done by one account and transfer it to
another ?
Yes. Change your
Hi Steve,
I created and run PrimeNet, and wrote the network DLLs. As
the designated person for your question, maybe I can help.
What error message is the program reporting? Is the
primenet.ini file identical to the files on the working
computers?

scott
