I don't have this card yet. I was just reading through the thread.

On the search for the key, I started glancing through the other cards to see if I could find any 8 or 16 digit keys.

I have to ask. Has anyone tried YI ISTIA? (Card 22)

READY to Test

[chimera245]

Updating you all - we have been testing various preliminary clients over the last week, and have processed about 800 work units thus far.

Anyone else who is willing to join us - please PM me here, and I'll get you sorted with a Test Client.

Just to confirm, we have it running on both Linux and OSX using the mono framework (check out http://www.mono-project.com/Downloads). Once the framework is installed, you just have to do 'mono TestClient.exe' from the command line. I'm finding my Linux box is significantly faster, but that's probably just different interpreter versions...

MJ helped me with running it on OSX, once the framework's installed it's easy...and it works! hooray!

Now that the client is currently being tested I have just updated the page i intend to use as a method of promoting / downloading. It is simple and will have an ID TEN T guide to the installation.

The page is 13th Labour

As if that wasnt enough and all the work Chimera has put in I am going to add a little incentive of a prize to the lucky individual that finds the key - I will post details once we have all our penguins in a row

I will be adding a linkified image that can also be post EVERYWHERE to promote this.

Anything else please feel free to PM me[/url]

I'll be honest, I don't know how this thinger works, but assuming chimera245 will be the first to know the answer, I think we have some real good options as far as incentives go. We could give second solve honors to tht lucky SOB who's client stumbles onto the solve (chimera getting first solve of course). We could have the final answer e-mailed out to only those who participated in the brute force (The answer would be posted a few days later for everyone else). I was also thinking of a stat page. If we had a little leader board up tracking the number of work units each person has completed, I think it would get things going. Basically I think we need a gimmick. Something to get people to donate their CPU time. Good idea? Bad idea? Already an idea?

Also, how does this thing work? What gets processed client side? What is being used to check for potential solves? I'll go back through and read the past posts just in case it's been mentioned. Maybe I'll try Ollie's "search" method.

Edit: Okay, I read through and found the post that explains it all. So my question is - have we defined Phase II yet?

[Guin]

from what I have been updated on talking with Chimera the client being email registration will tell Chimera who and if they look at their client it should tell them too.

As an incentive goes i was thinking about the added numbers we need and was more thinking in terms of cards - Im gonna put something together out of the shear goodness of my heart

[poozle]

I've just got mine working (wouldn't work before for some reason) but its off now

[sackofpotatoes]

I've also got the OS X Client up and running.
Thanks to chimera and mj for getting me rolling.

Guin, let us know what you're thinking about in terms
of incentive. I, and I'd bet others, would be willing to
chip in spare cards or something.
