I will swap several machines back over to this...

I'm trying to clean all bellow 67 digits.

I just noticed that all my machines are set to a minimum of 70 digits. Should I move that down to 68 or just let them run where they are?

edit: There are over 1000 at 68, so I'll lower my minimum.

Everything less than 70 digits is factored by Syd's worker. So you should factor composits with 70 or more digits.

So, it doesn't help out the db to factor some of these, or will there just be too many collisions? I kind of figured at this point the db has a lot of composites quite a bit smaller, so it's probably working with those.

Should we not worry about this type of build up and just let the db handle it on its own?

Thanks...

I think if you factor composites below 70 digits it will lead to collisions. Means the DB has a composite already factored if you upload it.
The workers of the DB factor composites below 70 digits. So there is computing power on this range and we should focus on a different range.

I'm showing about a 50% collision rate at 68 digits, so either the db or someone else is working them. I'll move back to 70, then.

Thanks.

I've got one core running on the low-to-mid C70s but it won't be there all day.
(73-75 range)

I've got 7 machines running composites (all at 71 digits) ATM, but I don't know for how long. I have these machines defaulted to yoyo's script until I decide what else to do with them, based on my ever-changing interest and short attention span...

OK, switching to C75 to leave plenty of buffer room for EdH workers.
(75-76 range)

I've thrown one core on to help out (starting at C76).
