As some of you have noticed, the data for 2/10 is MIA from stats. I’m not
sure what caused this, but in order to fix it I plan on re-importing that
day. As well, stats didn’t run last night, so I’ll re-run those at the
same time. The easiest way for me to do this is just to remove 2/11 from
the database and run all 3 days, which is what I intend to do, so don’t
be alarmed when the data from 2/11 ‘disappears’ all the sudden.

More info as it’s available.

The following clients have been updated/added:

– FreeBSD [ELF/x86/MT] v2.8007.458b

this version fixes a coredump in the freebsd client.

Don’t forget to participate in OGR you must have client that is v2.8007.458
or above and a personal proxy v311 or above. Also if you use cascading
proxies all proxies in the chain must be v311 or above.

If you plan on writing any kind of proxylog analyzer, be aware that the
OGR log format in v311 is not the same as v313.

Proxy v313 is recommended over v311 due to a number of known networking
issues in build v311. So please use v313 when available for your platform.

Please see http://www.distributed.net/~bovine/fom/index.cgi?file=20 if
you have questions about OGR.

Two quick updates on stats.

I’m working on enabling stats for OGR. It’s not as simple as it sounds,
because there’s no 100% we can measure ourselves against. There’s also
a lot more work units than any of our crypto contests to this point. I’m
out of town Sunday until Tuesday at a conference for my day-job. Don’t
know how much I’ll get done while I’m out. Just to let you know what to
expect, it’s very possible we won’t have OGR stats until OGR-24 is finished
– it’s a very short OGR ruler. You have my word, you’ll get them, even
if it’s after the fact.

I’ve been made aware that participant stats for Feb 10 are missing. I
can’t do much until Nugget returns after this weekend, but I’m confident
we’ll get them back. Don’t worry, none of your work has been lost.
Remember, the real RC5-64 work happens before stats sees anything.

This past week distributed.net has been busy with the final preparations
for the official launch of our OGR project. Monday, February 14th will
officially be the first day of the project.

Client version v2.8007.458 will be the minimum build from which OGR results
will be accepted from, even though earlier builds on some platforms included
preliminary beta OGR support. Please be sure to verify all of your
installed client versions.

The website has also been updated with more details regarding OGR and
reference links to other sources on the net. I encourage you all to check
it out! http://www.distributed.net/ogr/
