PrimeNet paying too much for mfakto factors

NBtarheel_33 · 2012-07-28, 01:58

Just reported some mfakto 0.11-Win64 results to PrimeNet, and got paid 4.4377 GHz-days for a factor of M68598191, while only getting 3.4859 GHz-days for each of several no-factor results in the 68.597-68.598 million range. All of the assignments were for 70 to 71 bits.

Maybe it is assuming that it is a P-1 factor.

This is merely another manifestation of that long known bug with PrimeNet's manual results parser. (Like Uncwilly implied.)

I would argue they are getting paid too little! Have you seen the USD/ GHzD conversion rate? I'd say we pay an appallingly low amount when converted to any spendable currency!
