Hi all, Just a quick update on the ScotLUG Distributed.net RC5-72 key cracking, for those that are vagely interested.
We (or I more specifically), have mangaged to get the team into 1041st place, which gives us a 1 in 7,427 chance that'll we'll win the money for the beer kitty. Remember that the individual that finds the key gets $1000 with the team getting $1000 too. That should buy a few rounds at least and possibly a portable distro server for the meetings. Even just a few more machines doing some background crunching would be greatly appreciated, so if you can spare some of your Friday afternoon (and some CPU cycles), please download the client for your machine and get cracking. :) Some URLs for you now; Check the current ScotLUG stats at http://stats.distributed.net/team/tmsummary.php?project_id=8&team=940186139 To see how the dosh gets dished out go to http://stats.distributed.net/misc/money.php?project_id=8 To download the clients for your platform go to http://distributed.net/download/clients.html To join the ScotLUG team, just configure the client with your email address, wait a few days for your info the appear on the stats page and join the team at http://stats.distributed.net/participant/pjointeam.php?team=940186139 That's all for now folks. I hope that the mere mention of prize money and beer stirs the soul. Have a good weekend.
