Known problem.

Those who know what they're doing get in fast, do the "wet work", and then get out with only a few people noticing...

Looks like a PRP-DC assignment for M60800659 has been picked up by "irowiki." There is a forum account by that name, but it hasn't been active in the last several months so I have to assume they just got the assignment as part of a routine automatic work fetch (somehow). I hadn't started on the exponent yet, so I took it out of my work file.

I don't know how they got the assignment, but they have been picking up work units that I have looked at and they are getting completed. It maybe that they are using their own search to find interesting work todo. Try sending them a PM.

Claimed

DoubleCheck=61536451,74,1
DoubleCheck=62327189,74,1
DoubleCheck=63274423,74,1

(will TF to 75 bits, then DC).

ATH turned in a successful LL DC for M59516879 just a few hours after I got done with the PRP-DC. I didn't lose any credit (don't care about that anyway), but I could've saved the cycles, especially on my relatively slower CPU. I noticed he's also successfully DCed M63847171. I sent a PM and asked him to post whatever else he's working on.

Sorry about that, I removed them from the list as I took them. I only saw your post about TF'ing not the other post about DC, I was too quick :(

I'm currently working on these, but they are on in the list anymore:
59625113
59635679
59516879
59625113
59635679
60800659
60822823
61458619
84610291
93018301
93030583
93103291
93218179
93506051

OK — I've removed

PRP=1,2,59625113,-1
PRP=1,2,59635679,-1

from my work file. I'll claim

PRP=1,2,61478467,-1
PRP=1,2,61497461,-1

instead.

You may want to stop work on M60800659 and M60822823 yourself, as PrimeNet says other users already have valid assignments for those. I don't know how either — I will PM irowiki later this evening to try and find out — but it doesn't seem wise to step on their toes in any case.

Also, there is an older but un-expired (yet) assignment outstanding for M84610291. With the lack of progress being reported, I obviously see little chance that it will actually complete, but because the exponent is very far away from any relevant milestone I don't see why we can't still wait for it to be properly released before we start work on it.

Thanks I removed them from worktodo, I took from the bottom of the list instead to avoid this, and I removed them from the list:
DoubleCheck=106972771,77,1
DoubleCheck=106973701,77,1
DoubleCheck=106984529,77,1
DoubleCheck=106984613,77,1
DoubleCheck=109595657,76,1


Edit: Took some more and removed them from the list:
PRP=1,2,94016093,-1
PRP=1,2,94339633,-1
PRP=1,2,95018947,-1
PRP=1,2,95031437,-1
PRP=1,2,95052863,-1
PRP=1,2,96019657,-1
PRP=1,2,97630829,-1
PRP=1,2,97991869,-1
PRP=1,2,97998083,-1

[techn1ciaN]

Claiming

PRP=1,2,62328713,-1
PRP=1,2,62328731,-1

Will TF to 75 bits first; will also re-do the P-1 for M62328713 since the original run was with B2=B1.

I think I have figured out why I can't get any AIDs for the PRP-DCs I'm claiming. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier.

PrimeNet treats all PRP < (FTC cat 0 threshold) as cat 0 even if it's PRP-DC or DC-via-PRP, which we know — and my PC just doesn't qualify for cat 0 FTCs (which is what PrimeNet would be judging) yet. So the problem should go away after I turn in several more results.

I did message irowiki and got a response. He said that all of his testing is standard set-and-forget and M60800659 was indeed assigned to him automatically. Uncwilly, if you are consistently seeing him pick up exponents of interest to this thread, then there are probably just not many (if any) other people running the PRP-DC work preference whose PCs qualify for cat 0 FTC work.

60.8M is Cat 2, so it must be because his PCs does not qualify for Cat0+1 that he is getting them:

and yes these categories should not apply to PRP-DC.
