staff blogs

distributed.net staff keep (relatively) up-to-date logs of their activities in .plan files. These were traditionally available via finger, but we've put them on the web for easier consumption.

We’re having some connectivity issues with our keymaster server, so
our proxy network is currently holding all submitted results until
connectivity is restored. As a result, stats did not run last night.
We hope to get things back in operational order soon. Thanks!

Hi All,

Some of you may have received an email from stats indicating your password was
retrieved by googlebot:

you (or “crawl-66-249-68-177.googlebot.com” [66.249.68.177]) recently
requested the password for your distributed.net stats account.

This was a side effect of the temporary placeholder page put in place whilst
fritz (statsbox) was offline. Your password has not been disclosed to anyone
but you.

For now, I’ve blocked googlebot from accessing stats, until our robots.txt file
takes effect again.

Moo!

Statsbox is back online. We used some of the downtime to thoroughly
upgrade the OS, software payload, RAID firmware, and add some more
RAM. Thanks for your patience!

It looks like fritz (statsbox) is experiencing some residual issues following
the problems within our provider earlier.

We’re working to resolve this as soon as possible. All work submitted will be
credited when stats is brought back online.

Thanks for your co-operation and patience. Moo!

There are currently some network connectivity issues to the ISP where
our stats server is hosted. Until our provider’s connectivity is
restored to normal operations, the accessibility of our statistics
server may be impacted. Thanks for your patience!
