[QUOTE=tha;363050]The machine "tycho" appears to be a dual core machine that claims to do a single exponent in 11 days. I stick to the work I've started and have progressed on.

But since there are still enough assignments available that meet the original criteria I'll add a mark to those exponents that are claimed by "tycho". And we will keep a watch on them.[/QUOTE]

I suggest there are enough on your list that we leave tycho's alone at least until and if we finish the rest.

I don't yet see said mark.

My pc is doing P-1 on the exponent 28452059. No DC LL-test had yet started so I took 28533929 instead.

7 More for S&A
 

28535261 - Needs P1
28539479 - Needs P1
28546901
28550267 - Needs P1
28550311 - Needs P1
28563097 - Needs P1
28566569 - Needs P1

These and the 8 already taken should all be done before mid Jan.

Joking aside, I really hope you know what you are doing.

I know what I am doing, and I am aware of most discussions that took place on this subject.

As I see it, contributing to this project is on a voluntary basis, but like all volunteering, not without obligations. One obligation is to either do reserved work within a reasonable amount of time or to let go the reservations. There is an unlimited reserve of work, there is more than enough work to be done for everyone. But if people rather carelessly keep reservations, do not indicate any progress, and do not communicate about these reservations there is a limit to the patience of others.

Through technical failures or by way of poaching some exponents are taken by others. Usually without any notice. I don't do that. But I have no problems doing it out in the open and taking responsibility for it.

As long as I get cheers as well as occasional boohs I know I am not too far off course in a minefield. That does not make me feel uncomfortable.

What about computers with only occasional internet access? I had one like that not too long ago, I only connected it only once every month or so (slow computer)
