Yes. Once an exponent is in ATH's court, concerns about its completion cease. Look for a Feb milestone.

I was taking that into account. Also 82342367 is progressing steadily.:smile:

and then there were 4...

phoniclynx at 79% and stalled for weeks, with weeks to go before expiration, looks like the limiting case.

Yes, the two in the middle will probably have to expire before they can be concluded. Unless —of course— somone takes matters in to their own hands.

countdown to 83M: 108
 

good news and not-so-good news
over two dozen are scheduled to complete in the next two days;
over two dozen are at least a week overdue, and take up to 6 weeks to expire.

WOW! a whole whopping 0.1% advance in 18 days for this exponent. At this pace it will be finished in around 10 years more!

Patience, young grasshopper...

This milestone doesn't really matter all that much. And advocating poaching is ill advised.

Let Primenet's assignment rules do its job. Like Adam Smith's "Invisible Hand", it tends to work in the long term if not interfered with....

I am not advocating poaching. I am merely saying it is a possibility. (And past experience tells us it is.)

In the long run poaching only hastens the immediate milestone. The next ones are probably equally delayed as resources are diverted.

:thumbs-up:

It is so much better now with the assignment rules, there is no need for poaching as milestones will only be delayed a few weeks at most. I don't even remember how exponents expired before this system.



But it might need some tweaking, I'm not sure it is working 100% correctly:
In the last 30-40 exponent up to M51 at least 10-15 of them expired, which is weird.

Looking at the last 3 remaining as examples they were all Cat 1 when they were assigned, but looking at the requirement for Cat 1:
[CODE]Computer must have enough LL and DC GHz-days over the last 120 days to indicate the assignment will be completed in 30 days.
Computer must have no expired assignments or bad or suspect results in the last 120 days.
Computer must have returned at least 5 results in the last 120 days.
Setting for "days of work to queue" <= 5.
Not available for manual testing.
Must be completed in 90 days[/CODE]

It is hard to believe that so many computers meeting those requirements with 5 results in 120 days would suddenly not finish 1 exponent in 90 days! Are these checks of requirements for categories working?

Maybe Cat 0 should be larger than 200 exponents?

[QUOTE=ATH;507285]I don't even remember how exponents expired before this system.[/QUOTE]

They were, generally, poached.

Hopefully the coders at Primenet are using the heuristics correctly, and don't assign low candidates to those who have not demonstrated their ability to perform.

Still, a few assignments will slip through... A disparate workforce is not a trivial thing to manage....
