Hi,
It is a first time test, I do not care to run some double checks,
the problem however is
that I cannot even put double-check in the worktodo file, the
assignment will be deleted as soon as the primenet server is
contacted. It says it already has a result for the exponent.
I think I will back the files up and make it a
double-check assignment after the next database sync.
(Well before the values are assigned again by primenet.)
When an unassigned exponent gets reported PrimeNet will
assign it to the one reporting to work on the exponent.
Anybody knows when the next database sync will be?
Kind Regards, Martijn
