That's strange. I've never seen more than 20 users online simultaneously.

Also, how did you display the percentage completion to so many decimal places?

[QUOTE=jinydu]Also, how did you display the percentage completion to so many decimal places?[/QUOTE]

In Prime.ini, set:

PercentPrecision=x

Where x is a value 0-6.

It says in the Undocumented Features text document :P

Well my verification finally completed. And I know this will be a BIG surprise to everyone but...

The value [b]IS PRIME[/b]!!! :w00t:

Glucas is great for running on multiple architectures. I started out my verification on a 4 CPU Alpha box, but then found a faster 4 CPU Itanium box so I used the latest save file and continued from there. Today someone else started using the Itanium 2 box so I switched back to the Alpha box to finish off and no problems along the way switching architectures.

So are we going to announce this soon?

And since it's now verified, can the PrimeNet front page be updated to show VERIFIED: 2? It would be really cool to see that seeing how rare Mersenne primes are.
