Disappearing Factor

Mr. P-1 · 2007-09-15, 17:25

From my individual account report taken today:

Code:

  ------- Exponents Cleared since last Synchronization -------
 
 prime   fact    Lucas-Lehmer residue or factor
exponent bits    [residues partially masked]        date returned   computer ID
-------- ---- -- --------------------------------  ---------------  ------------

Factored composite    :      4
Lucas-Lehmer composite:      0
Double-checked LL     :      0
---------------------- -------
                TOTAL :      4

I distinctly remember having four factors listed before the 13 Sep discovery. Checking my results.txt file confirms that I found one on 26 August, which would have been submitted very shortly after:

Code:

[Sun Aug 26 11:47:16 2007]
P-1 found a factor in stage #1, B1=360000.
UID: daran/banger0, M30811271 has a factor: 368043647636982059233

Has there been a server synchronisation, and if so, why did it not clear all four factors?

My impression is that after the monthly server sync (0347 UTC on the 15th) all results from the previous month are removed from individual account reports & cleared.txt, so now they only have results from September.

Thanks for clarifying.
