[QUOTE=retina;488410]When some impatient person poaches it, is that considered the same as expiring?[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure. What I can tell is that based on the current data, those exponents are progressing at 1.1 - 1.6% per day. All will expire long before being finished, based on those projections.

As mentioned, those last 4 (now 3) have stalled at 0% progress per day for the last couple weeks, since 2018-05-07:
43921463 stalled at 54.9%
43962551 stalled at 36.5%
43967279 stalled at 41.3%

When operating normally and actually making progress, they're capable of doing 8% per day, but these weeks at a time of not doing anything are weird. And I do vaguely recall other exponents assigned to him doing the same thing, but my memory is fuzzy on the details.

At the idea and request of rudy235 I made the script summing the columns run automatically and made it create this report, maybe people will find it useful:

iI just stumbled upon this post of yours.
Interesting report, thanks for sharing.

Both of these exponents now appear as expired.

[/code][/QUOTE]Oh. So someone else can expire your tests early and make you lose your status?

[QUOTE=Madpoo;488393]I've got them on my radar... and yeah, if I'm not mistaken, this isn't the first time this user has had this happen. Like I said, it's fine usually, but I have a harder time with it when they're category 0 assignments especially. The category zero and one threshold rules say:[/QUOTE]

These 4 in question are in category 1, if you look at the thresholds on April 12th and 17th when they were assigned:

[url]https://www.mersenne.org/thresholds/?dt=2018-04-12[/url]
Category 0 First 200 assignments Exponents below 43887714

[/code][/QUOTE]And they are still updating.

So MadPoo poached them before expiry, caused the original user to get an "expired" penalty on their record, and wasted compute resources for an unneeded triple check. The impatience in that one is strong.

Nothing unusual about the way this was handled.

Entirely legit, and if Madpoo didn't snipe it someone else would have.

Entirely legit, and if Madpoo didn't snipe it someone else would have.[/QUOTE]The assignment had not expired. The page showed it had more than two weeks remaining till expiry. From what I understand it wasn't assigned as cat-0. So the user was promised some time to finish it. The user was still within the time. And later someone/something decides that the expiry date was not sufficient and it gets finished by someone else. At least that it my understanding. I'm sorry if I got some facts wrong, but it feels wrong that a promise is given and then revoked later.

I do not see it that way. i believe thar Madpoo has been restrained.

He probably has already the residue for 43967279 calculated but he is waiting for the original assignee to conclude his process.

At this point it looks likely that it will conclude and there is no indication that Madpoo is going to go ahead with his results, if that were the case.

They were actually Category 1, you have to look at the threshold levels on the day they were assigned, they do not change category as time goes on. See my post 2 posts before yours.
