:confused: Blackwatch, when I set my stuff up, I didn't put down any charities cause I didn't know if they the team had a particular one we were donating to.Is there a way to go back, and change that?

Hey digital_apocalypse, glad to see you're in the ranks over there ;)

the loss is due to them upgrading the servers to handle the new algorithm. right now its just a crap shoot...the new algorithm is based on the sieving theory, of which i am a math idiot so i dont get. what ver of the client are you running? .517 should help diminish the losses.

you can also make a copy of your offline.dat file before you send. in case this happens...then you can resend it again.

I'm running the .517 ver I lost another 120 points It seems when it starts to send I get a few points out then it stops and I found out today if I wait for a few more points then resend it doesn't erase the ones that didn't get sent the first time. Also I leave it connected overnight so I don't have big dumps for the morning risking the lost of major points. If I have a big dump again I'll make a backup of the offline.dat file first thanks

:confused: Here's a new one for you blackwatch!! I keep telling it to send the data in.It tells me,"trying to solve a neo data" then tells me,"cannot connect".So what's happening there?I have tried pausing it to send data as well, but still get the same message.

Mntsnow, not to tick you off, but everyone is welcome to come over to Randys site (http://ww.extremedc.com) and ask any questions. we strive to keep right on top of all neo problems. along with the other DC clients.

Warning: we're a crazy fourm and most anything goes, we crunch hard and play even harder :jet:

I think I like the stats from
http://neo.ledz.net/index.php?stats=mk_udt

They seem to be updating a bit more often than the "official" Neo website

Mntsnow that site shows me as Mike how I had it original setup was before I changed it to MDS as the other site still list me as MDS? I wonder if I need to contact someone to see if my point's are counting as MDS ?

Why did Neo read my XP chip right, but not my P4?

Mntsnow

From what I have gathered over at the Neo forums the client will periodically get it right but most times it's not lol

its a script written by a guy in France and sometimes it works...sometimes it doesnt. he is debugging it for the next client. let him know if its wrong...his name is scrap at the neo forums.

Will do Blackwatch.....Like right now all my nodes are listed as the same thing at the neo stats... (listed as AMD ATHLON XP/MP REV A5 1800+ 1533 MHZ )

Currently working for the team:
MP2000+ (dually)
MP1800+ (dually)
AMD 1.0gig T-bird
P3-1gig (Brit)
P3-850 (Chris)
P3-600 (Chel)
P4 1.5gig (My main surf'n box)

and might add it to
XP2200+ (currently a MS dev box)

and then maybe add these in the future too (Waiting for a Linux client..must be stable too!)
Dual P3-850 (currently a webserver)
Dual P3-1.13gig (currently a webserver/dev box)
Dual P3-1.26gig (currently a webserver/dev box)

of course there are a couple of other boxes in the home but they cant be used as they support all my web ventures as they are DNS, Mail servers ect ect.
