Distributed.net Does CSC

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the joining-the-fray dept.

The fine folks over at Distributed.net have appraised me of the fact that the long awaited CSC clients have been rolled out, as of a few hours ago. The full details went out on the mailing list recently regarding CSC and the new clients. Upgrade your clients, because they'll start serving keys in just a couple hours, and we can keep Team Slashdot in first place.

    We've already started serving keys and our users' clients are happily crunching. Anyone firing up a new CSC client should expect to receive CSC blocks immediately.

    As of the time of this post (04:00UTC), we're just about to hit 200Mkey/second. We've completed a little over .007% of the keyspace. Although this seems very slow, it's an amazing start for a project with clients that we just released. At this point, we've distributed thousands of clients, but most won't report back until they've completed ten blocks. I expect the rate to have a huge increase in the next few hours as clients start submitting their first blocks.
