Hey, I'm glad to help out, chief. Anything to get this card cracked STAT!

By the way, should I post this news over at the Def Con fora, to see if I can get us some assistance on code optimization?

For those of you willing to run the Test Client, the latest is available at:

http://www.e-wire.net.au/~eb_oakla/pxc/13labour.zip

The latest patch (for existing users) is:

http://www.e-wire.net.au/~eb_oakla/pxc/patch006.zip

When we move out of the 'Test' phase - which should not be too long now, updates will most likely also be available at:

http://www.13thlabour.tk

Many thanks to GuiN for his sterling efforts in setting that site up, and to all the testers who have worked their way through the various patches this week.

I get the following error message upon installing this new patch.

That means, unfortunately, that yours is one of the limited number of platforms which is unsupported at the moment.

I am currently working on a fix for that - and will let you know once an appropriate client is ready.

Sorry for your trouble thus far, but remember this is a long road, and your contribution will be just as valuable if it starts in a week as if it started today.

Hey, no problem. It just seemed like the 'path free' patch needed updating, but there's obviously much that I don't understand about the client.

Nice progress guys.

One thing I've noticed with the client is that on about 1 out of every 3 work units processed it takes between 5 and 10 minutes 'close' the work unit and get a new one (due to congestion). How much worse is that going to get as the number of clients grows?

Once we move out of testing I'll be changing the hosting of the Web Services to something with some more connections.

The box it is on at the moment is configured for this test, rather than production stage.

Want to say a big thanks to the work that Chimera has put in.

Not sure if people realise (those not on the test client) that he has managed to get the time for a work unit (on my PC anyway) down from 20 minutes to about 16 minutes....thats 1/4 of the time knocked off, which could make a huge difference when you consider how many keys we have to test...

I have promise from my friend of two servers that I can mirror the file on....
