All my machines are reporting back once a week. I remember that you mentioned some time ago that you were "trolling the server to free up expos" so I just wanted to make sure that I'm not wasting my time.

So peace on earth and happy crunching! :smile:

[QUOTE=Uncwilly;189465]I have been checking status frequently and been able to pick up several in the first 1000 that are at 69.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Uncwilly;192291]Nice. I picked off one of the first 200 recently. I have been trolling primenet for the lower expos to hit.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Sunfish;203410]I remember that you mentioned some time ago that you were "trolling the server to free up expos" so I just wanted to make sure that I'm not wasting my time.[/QUOTE]I am now only (as Cheesehead will be happy to know) picking up those that Primenet will allow me to have (that are free). So, anyone else that has assignments are completely safe.

Overnight ~20 expos were picked up in this range. While not real unusal, these were all at or near the begining of the range. (It weren't me.)

I have been picking up a bunch of the ones at bit level 68. We gave laptops to our kids at Christmas. I have been feeding them the 68 bit level ones in this range.

[QUOTE=gjmccrac;204603]I have been picking up a bunch of the ones at bit level 68. We gave laptops to our kids at Christmas. I have been feeding them the 68 bit level ones in this range.[/QUOTE]Yeah, I noticed that was happening too. You all found some factors. It was just that the others went in less than 8 hours. That is a lot of work to grab.

In the meantime I released another 16 expos at 75-bit level in the range below 332199999 (no factors found) which implies that I also managed to pick up another few as well.

Not much left in this range and only 4 expos remaining in my working queue now which will be released at 75-bit shortly. Not yet decided what comes next but I might move on to some higher ranges...

The first 135 expos are up to 74. This was accomplished by checking daily and self-assigning those that became available at the beginning of range. There are none left in this range below 69. Thanks to all of those working in the range.:hello:
Attached is a new chart type that shows the progress nicer than some of the others posted in the past.

FYI,
I will be away for about a week. I will have limited connectivity.
