FixedHardwareUID=1

[irowiki]

So I'm running a few USB sticks that I shuffle around spare available machines, and for testing, I have FixedHardwareUID=1 set in prime.txt, and it randomly doesn't work.

I'll move the stick to a new machine, sometimes it'll be fine, other times I'll get a hardware mismatch.

Does it have to go in a specific spot in prime.txt?

So I had a config file that looked like this on a USB drive:

It's one that bounces between windows and linux. (the same thing happens on windows only thumbdrives and linux only thumbdrives though)

V24OptionsConverted=1
WGUID_version=2
StressTester=0
UsePrimenet=1
DialUp=0
V5UserID=irowiki
Priority=1
DaysOfWork=10
RunOnBattery=1
WorkPreference=150
FixedHardwareUID=1


[PrimeNet]
Debug=0
ProxyHost=

[Worker #1]

Moved it to another computer and this happened:

[Comm thread Nov 2 00:13] PrimeNet error 33: CPU identity mismatch
[Comm thread Nov 2 00:13] CPU identity mismatch: g=b373fc5700c1cae24b1c81a601fa6766 hg=855b7cd958526c363d225bff1e8e90b5 wg=767df440e626bc8a7940d39fe32641ff

Now my prime.txt looks like this:

V24OptionsConverted=1
WGUID_version=2
StressTester=0
UsePrimenet=1
DialUp=0
V5UserID=irowiki
Priority=1
DaysOfWork=10

Left=225

I moved it to another computer after deleting the hardware/windows GUID and it did it again!

This bug is on my list to look at for the next release.

I may have a fix in 29.5 build 8 (not out yet). Please try when that version comes out.
