1) Message boards : Number crunching : Progress? (Message 8467) Posted 29 Apr 2023 by Speedy51 Post: I believe processing numbers _2 and higher helps clear the backlog. It doesn't necessarily mean the validator is crashed it just means it's struggling to keep up with demand. In the past I believe this has been partly to do with the fact the ready to send queue has been so large. I believe admins had an idea how to fix it and it would appear that has worked You have a point, once you clear off ones that match with others, there's less in the database for the poor server to work out. Just don't cancel the lower numbered ones or it has to resend them. Yes of course I process all tasks. If I didn't I eventually wouldn't be able to receive any tasks as I would be deemed an "unreliable host" and would not get any of the higher numbered results sent to me in the 1st place or worst case scenario not be able to receive "any work" whatsoever because I have abandoned too many tasks

When I see the validation queue starting to pile up this is when I will start contributing in clearing any _1 or higher numbers before processing any _0 tasks. I haven't seen a pileup in quite some time

As of today, "The odds are 1 in 20,842 that we will wrap this thing up in the next 24 hours. (This also means that we'll hit 100% in 20,842 days at yesterday's rate.)" As of 2023-04-23 at 23:59 UTC 10.000% of the project has been completed. Thanks to everybody that helped get to this point
